The summit is a further 45 minutes from here. You can do an over night stay at the hut and complete the summit at sunrise (recommended).
Follow the gravelled path and staircase. From here you will have to do some scrambling and negotiate a few metal ladders along with metal rungs to get to the top and take in the stunning views.

Once you've soaked it all in, return to the hut, pick up your pack and head back down. You can return via the
