After a 3 am start across the glaciers and several hours hiking up a pumice fin, (which I was coughing up black phlegm for 3 days afterwards) this is the face one makes. Content and hunger to reach the summit.

View of the live crater from the actual summit. Roughly two hours after we left there was a 2.2 earthquake in the area that caused the whole left side of the crater to collapse into the bowl. (reported only snow and minor rocks no major geological change).
