The Lemosho route is best experienced over 8 days. In this schedule, the climb from Barranco to Barafu is split across two days, providing a brief period of rest right before the attempt to reach the summit. This is crucial since the ascent to the peak begins at midnight, causing climbers to be weary due to lack of sleep on the most challenging day of the climb. A shorter day prior to this provides a chance for climbers to recuperate.
