• At the gates, we'll wait for our group to receive permission to climb, which may take some time due to the large number of climbers.

Day 3: 

• The 3rd day we will completely devote to the study of the Shira Plateau. On the way, we will reach the Kibo Glacier to cross a plateau that will take us straight to Moir Hat in the moorland, not far from the stream. 
• Next, the trail will take us towards Moir Hat. Upon arrival at the site, you will have the opportunity to catch your breath and take a walk for a smoother acclimatization. This is a beautiful place with picturesque landscapes. Overnight at Moir Hat.

Day 4:
