28 days. Although he only averages 1 ft a day, on the 28th day he reaches the top, thus doesn't slide back down.

At the end of the 28th day. For the first 27 days, he climbs up 27 feet total. At the end of the 28th day he will climb 3 more. Which adds up to 30.

exactly 28 days because everyday he only climbs up for only on foot (3-2=1) and the final three feet he can climb it out

30 days, because if the snail climbs up 3ft and slides back 2ft that mean that he will 1ft for a day.

That would make it one foot a day so it would take 28 days.
