Once you reach the top you will have the opportunity to bring your own rock. This may provide a challenge as most of the rocks on top have already been placed on the pile. Should one of your friends still have a rock in their sleeping bags this would be the prime opportunity to place it on the pile and release it from your back. Head into a south east direction and you will find that the terrain is flat and very easy to travel on a clear footpath. There is an abundance of water and you will pass a guard hut on your right hand side.
After 30 minutes from the chain ladder, weather permitting you will get the opportunity to experience one of the most breathtaking views from the second highest waterfall in the world. This is where the movie “The Gods must be Crazy” filmed “the edge of the world" section.
See if you can spot the person at the top end of the waterfall (picture left). Enjoy the moment. Take it in. In our total journey, each person took 62,863 steps!
This provides the perfect time to mark your mountain!
Congratulations and have a safe journey back!
