A successful summit at 5,895 meters on Kilimanjaro at Uhuru Peak at night is a big deal for hikers. When preparing for a successful summit on Mount Kilimanjaro during the night, it's crucial to dress appropriately to ensure your comfort and safety in the challenging conditions. Here's the best clothing list for the summit night:
Balaclava on the head
This is a fantastic piece of clothing for keeping your head, face, and neck warm, especially during the night-time portion of summit day. No other item protects your head so well.
Head torch
Except for those doing a Kilimanjaro full moon climb, the first hours of your night-time summit at the roof of Africa are done in the dark. It’s very important that you have one with a strong beam. Your head torch is your hands-free light to guide you along the trail.
Sunglasses
Eye protection through sunglasses is so important on the summit night of Mount Kilimanjaro. When the sun starts to rise, the rays bounce off the snow and can cause snow blindness in those without glasses at the snow-capped peak.
Moisture-wicking compression top
This skin-tight, long-sleeved thermal compression top is a wonderful tool for helping to keep you dry by wicking away sweat as well as keeping you warm on summit nights.
Insulated down or synthetic jacket
This is one of the most important items you wear on summit night. This is also one of the most expensive items on your summit packing list. For those who aren’t sure about buying an insulated jacket of their own, these can easily be rented.

Gloves
Wear high-quality, insulated gloves to keep your hands warm. Consider having a pair of liner gloves as well for added warmth or dexterity.
Socks
Use moisture-wicking and warm socks, preferably made of wool or synthetic materials. It's recommended to wear a thin liner sock underneath for added comfort and to prevent blisters.
Footwear
Choose sturdy and waterproof mountaineering boots that provide good ankle support and traction. Ensure they are broken in and fit well to avoid discomfort and blisters.
Gaiters
Consider wearing gaiters to protect your lower legs and boots from snow, debris, and moisture.
