Down we continued, past the subsummit, down the chimney section, across the final lookouts, and down the lower slopes. On the way back down, eagle-eyed Nel spotted the wallet of some unfortunate hiker, half-buried and frozen in the snow (turns out he was from fairly far away, near the city of Buffalo, NY. We later dropped the wallet off at a local convenience store, where the clerk promised to hand it in to the State Police).
Warming up = Balling snow
By 2:45, we had arrive back at the mountain's base, and then trudged the remaining 1km (0.6miles) across the flats to the trailhead. All in all, a leisurely but extremely enjoyable five hour outing!
