The chimney...

...is good idea while descending, especially when you have 60 meters rope- 30 meters long rappel is sufficient to reach to lower abseiling point. This allows you to rap down all the snow-icy slope (mentioned in the description of the picture) which might be unpleasant in bad snow conditions.

Anyway, great shot Radek (Przeciez wiem...)
