Full descent from the summit to Momella Gate
Descend to Miriakamba Hut; walk out to Momella Gate the next morning
Both itineraries share the same Day 1 (Momella Gate to Miriakamba Hut) and Day 2 (Miriakamba to Saddle Hut). The 4-day trek adds a post-summit overnight at Miriakamba Hut, splitting the descent over two days for a steadier finish — it does not add acclimatisation before the summit.
