When the Night's Watch expedition made camp at the Fist of the First Men, Jeor Mormont split fifteen rangers into three groups of five to search for traces of Mance Rayder near the head of the Milkwater. One group followed the river upstream, another made for the Skirling Pass, and the third, led by First Ranger Jarman Buckwell, climbed to the top of the Giant's Stair.
