Buckingham, IV, 5.10
Rap back down the slab for a short rap to the top of the chimney system you ascended. Rap from there straight down which will take you slightly skiers left of your ascent route. Watch out for slung rappels and make wise choices. There are several options here. Continue until back to the dogleg section and just rap the route from there back to the Upper Vowell Glacier.

""You cannot stay on the summit forever; you have to come down again. So why bother in the first place? Just this: What is above knows what is below, but what is below does not know what is above. One climbs, one sees. One descends, one sees no longer, but one has seen. There is an art of conducting oneself in the lower regions by the memory of what one saw higher up. When one can no longer see, one can at least still know.""   --Rene Daumal
