Please explain why you need to stay on the top for 4 hours?

Hi, Sorry for the confusion. When I mentioned "staying on top," I was referring to hiking at high elevations, specifically above 5000 meters. The hut is situated at 4700 meters, and the summit reaches 5230 meters. It typically takes around 4-5 hours to trek from the hut to the summit, and due to the extreme altitude, the hike is quite challenging.
