The summit attempt is made from Barafu in the early morning hours, often during the full moon day. This is the coldest and windiest section of your climb.
However, the sun comes up soon and the rest of the layers will be cleared early. The route experiences 2 seasons. Wet and dry, during the wet season the rainfall can be steadily heavy every day and this makes the terrain the mountain bit difficult.
