The gradient gets steeper and three hours on (this is the hardest stretch of the climb! you should reach the crater rim at Joanna’s Notch. From here it’s a short scramble to Gillman’s Point (5,685m) in time for Your reward is the dramatic spectacle of the sun rising over the ice fields and craggy peaks of Mawenzi – the profusion of colors and shapes make all the suffering seem worthwhile!
