today we woke up at 130am to eat a light supper before starting the last ascent to low's peak at the top of the mountain. the last bit of the hike was about 3km long but a rise of 1000m in altitude. it was crazy how hard it was to breathe. i had to stop every couple of metres to catch my breath. we didn't make it to the peak for sunrise but we watched from lower down then climbed to the top.
the descent was quite tough with sore legs and little sleep. about 2.5km from the end it started to POUR with rain so we got soaked and muddy. very very tough few days but worth standing 4095m high! we took a photo as we passed through the finish gate.
checked back into hotel on top floor, the pic is the view from our balcony.
