From the top of Mount First 2548.6m the path makes a steep descent, and wires are in place for safety. The ridge now rises again to the top of Horvang 2518.6m but the path contours round this peek. Past the peek of Horvang the path ascends again to the top of Stand 2319.8m. The section between the top of First and the top of Stand is the hardest on the hike as far as footpaths are concerned, although where there are difficulties there are always wires in place. Group 2 passed group 1 between First and Stand.

From the top of Stand we descended past the Cheesery and down to Kandersteg.

After a hard days walking it's good to know that everyone was still friends, especially two people who shall remain nameless.
