Looking northeast from the summit of Mount Henkel, one can view the ridge leading up to the red scree of Apikuni Mountain. The initial descent from Henkel gets a little interesting at times, but nothing worse than class 3 climbing is encountered if the correct route is taken. In my opinion, there were several safe ways down. The hike from Henkel to Apikuni is about a mile, and gains/loses approximately 1,000 feet in elevation.
