Summit day on Kilimanjaro is described as up at midnight, top at sunrise, then all the way down. Why so long in one go, and why not sleep at high camp a second night?
Why is summit day on Kilimanjaro so long, and why can't you sleep at high camp again?
Summit day on Kilimanjaro is long because you climb from high camp at about 4,600 m to the summit at 5,895 m and then descend past high camp to a lower camp near 3,100 m, all in one day.
