From 2 am tea to sunrise at 3,726 m: what summit night really feels like, and how we pace it.
0102:00 — Tea and headlamps
We wake you with hot tea and cookies. The air is cold and still, and the first headlamps are already moving up the ridge.
0204:00 — The scree
The last section is loose volcanic sand: two steps up, one step back. Your guide sets a slow, steady rhythm with short breaks.
0306:00 — Sunrise at 3,726 m
The sun rises over Sumbawa and lights up the caldera below. After photos and a warm drink, we head down for breakfast at camp.
