"That sounds good." Derrick remarked.
It was as good a route as any, which wasn't exactly saying much. Slightly better than going back down though.

Derrick walked up to the next set of steps and turned to face the others.
"Let's go then." He said.
He wanted to bring up the rear, just in case. He was already slower than the others anyway, but he also wanted to make sure that nothing was coming up after them. Well, he didn't really, he figured he could live just as easily if he didn't know, but it's the thought that counts. He wanted some peace of mind, at the very least.
