On the northwest side, in the Lent Valley, is the Moir Hut. This is built of wood and sleeps 10 comfortably. There is water in the stream about 100 m below the hut. One can join and leave the circuit at a number of points on the south side, but not on the north side. There are too many combinations to mention here.
Many hikers like to take the southern part of the circuit only, which is spectacular.
You travel across moorland, cutting in and out of valleys and under the glaciers. You can climb to the summit from Kibo, Barafu or Lava Tower huts and return to the circuit by crossing the Crater floor and descending another route. Allow 6 to 7 days on the mountain.
