After days of waiting, finally, it's there. You can't really sleep, at midnight it's already time to get up. Quick breakfast, all gear on, and on the tracks by 1am! It's almost full moon, totally clear sky, almost no wind. A bit chilly when waiting for others to catch up, but as soon as the sun is up, it is just perfect! A long way up, everybody is on the track so it gets a bit jammed after the saddle, but that's ok! It looked worse than it was, and since we were pretty acclimatised, it went all well! I regret that we did not choose the ascent from the north side, but let it be for another time...
