Route Advice, Luggage Storage, Coat Rental

Hello!
I am currently on my way to Huashan by train from Huangshan via Hefei.

I will be arriving tomorrow afternoon. My plan is to hike all the peaks, stay overnight, and then catch sunrise at East Peak and then head down.

Questions:
1. What is the best route to hike up and down (no cable cars) all the peaks except East Peak from an afternoon start to end and sleep at East Peak?

2. Where can I store my luggage? Does the park itself have multiday storage? Or do I have to store it at the train station?

3. If I choose to camp, are there spots of flat ground that are easy to find? I camped two nights in Huangshan and it was difficult to find.

4. How steep are the paths in comparison to Huangshan? I wanted to see how feasible it is to carry my camping gear with me. I know it will be more difficult but I'm always up for a challenge.

5. Is the plank walk a big circle or is it from one end to another end? Thinking about if I have to carry my big bag across the planks...

6. How much are the heavy coats for rental? Where will one rent them? If you rent them for overnighting at East Peak, will that mean you have to carry it around for the other peaks?

7. Are there shelters near East Peak for overnighting under in case of rain?

8. Will the plank walk still be open in the rain or what conditions might close it? Because I am definitely going to the mountain for that.

Thanks! I want to figure out a way to do this trip as cheaply and efficiently as possible.

5. Well, as I know, most planks are not difficult for you to walk through. Only a few part is dangerous. So don't worry.
6. You can rent the coat at the entrance of the scenic spot. Or there are also many places that provide coats rental service when you climbing the mountain. The fare is CNY 10 to 20 per coat in usual time. You can rent it on the top of the mountain. If so, you don't have to carry them all around.
7. Yes, there are several hotels and restaurants at East Peak. So if it rains, you can go there.
8. The plank will close if the the weather conditions are bad, such as heavy rain, high wind and hail stone. You need to keep close attention on the weather forecast before you start off.

Have a good trip!
