We started at midnight at the group split into 2 parties 1 hour later. BA summited with the Assistant Guide @ 0615, and JH reached Gilman’s Point with me @ 0730 where he was tired and unable to continue. The weather was OK until 0500 then the sleet and wind arrived. We are back in Horombo now and very happy yet tired.
