Its disadvantage, pointed out by Jon, is that they will have to climb down to get water.
The commander agrees they are not likely to find a better place to defend. The commander tells Thoren Smallwood it is good ground, and he replies it is an old place that is strong and will be easy to defend. Jon Snow thinks that it actually looks like a fist plunging up from the ground. Lord Commander Mormont's men arrive at the Fist of the First Men. Ghost leads him to some buried Dragonglass weapons wrapped in a cloak of the Night's Watch. Ghost finally joins Jon Snow in the ring, surprising Jon since Ghost has previously refused to come into the ring. The Lord Commander plans to reinforce the stone ring built by the First Men during the Dawn Age to wait for men from the Shadow Tower here, and then to wait for Mance Rayder to return from the Frostfangs.
Lord Commander Mormont's men reach the Fist of the First Men.
