attempting to climb a slab, one porter said "there may be a way up, but there is no way down". The following day they made another attempt on the summit. They reached the point that Arthur had reached, marked by a flag tied to a stick, before giving up. On their return to camp they had a snowball fight before packing up to return to the lower camp. On the way down the mountain, the party visited the Nithi Falls, now called The Gates after the gorge of the Nithi River, before returning through the forest to Chogoria.
