We started at the trail-head at 2:45 a.m. and reached the summit in 2 hours&#8230;which means we had actually had to wait for the sunrise for 30 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>It was perfect weather through-out the morning, but the mosquitoes were so nasty it affected your movements. I put on my jacket so only my face was shown, I came down the mountain with only one bite.
