On the way to the summit of Mauna Loa. If you look carefully along the ridge, you can see a rock pile. That's the summit.

Finally at the summit with exactly 50% of my water remaining and only some peppermints for food. 13,764 ft. And now only 13 miles to go before I can rest for the day. Uggh.

And hanging out over the edge, looking towards North pit (where my pack was stashed).
