English phrase in climbing (1)

It's awsome, finished last event, i was very tired because of lack of english skill.

So I was reviewing some phrase that i can't make it, write down to my notebooks.

 

Situation

 After reaching top of mountain and having rest for a while, I had to lead all member to next place on time. I want to say, meaning like "Let's go next place and down the mountain". Simply saying "そろそろ下山しよう(soro soro gezan shiyou)" in japanese.

 

Checked by google seach, that say below...

 

下山する 

climb down a mountain

descend a mountain

 

下山

a descent from a mountain

 

It is difficult to use the word "descent". Because it is not common words such a well known words for the people who have not climb mountain.

So next time I use "climb down" simply.
