Descent

Descend the upper third of the route and then follow the anchors briefly to the right. From where they end, follow the trail along the wall. Keep following the markings—there are some slightly tricky sections all the way to the base of the wall—and traverse westward along a delicate path back to the start (short uphill section). From there, continue as on the ascent.
