Having reached the highest point of our route according to plan, we discovered something the map hadnot told us It was impossible to climb down into the King valley The river lay deep between mountain sides thatwere almost vertical We couldn’t find any animal tracks, which usually show the best way across country, and theslopes were covered so thickly with bushes that we could not see the nature of the ground We had somehow tobreak through to the river which would give us our direction out of the mountains into the inhabited lowlands.Our guide cut a narrow path through the bushes with his long knife and we followed in single file Progress wasslow Then, when we thought we had really reached the river, we found ourselves instead on the edge of a cliffwith a straight drop of 1,000 feet to the water below We climbed back up the slope and began to look foranother way down We climbed, slipped, sweated, and scratched our hands to pieces and finally arrived at theriver Happily we strode downhill along its bank without having to cut our way However, after a few miles theriver entered a steep-sided gap between rocks and suddenly dropped thirty-five feet over a waterfall There was

no path alongside it and no way round it

Then one of the guides saw the way of overcoming the difficulty There was a fallen tree lying upside down overthe waterfall with its leafy top resting on the opposite bank below the falls Without hesitation he climbed downthe slippery trunk to show us how easy it was Having got to fork of the tree, he moved hand over hand along abranch for four or five feet with his legs hanging in space, then he dropped onto the fat bank the other side,throwing his arms in the air like a footballer who has scored a goal and cheerfully waving us on
