Looking east from the summit we see the path along which we had crossed the crater, with several groups still heading towards the summit. The rest of my party is barely visible on the edge of the crater rim at left. I quickly descended down into the crater to sign the summit register, then traversed back to join my group. We began our descent across the crater at about 8 AM.
