Perched on a rocky ridge, the campsite is exposed to wind and rocks, so it's essential to familiarize yourself with the surroundings before dark. An early dinner will be served, allowing you ample rest before the summit attempt later in the night. Your guide will provide detailed instructions for summit night preparations, and it's advised to retire early, around 19:00.

Take the time to capture photographs and enjoy tea before descending to Barafu Camp, which takes about 3 hours. After a hot lunch, you'll continue your descent to Mweka Camp (3100m) through scree, rocks, and the moorland.
