This is one of the big rocks in Hell's Gate. According to Maasai legend, it's a young woman who was going off to marry a warrior in another village. She was told not to look back at her home, and, when she did, she was turned to stone. This particular rock is called Fisher's Tower after the German explorer who "discovered" the area in the 1800s.
