How did you get on? Did you find a way back onto the ridge? There are some short but awkward steps to climb just below the crest I remember.

Naa, we kept on thinking that the way back onto the ridge must be just around the NEXT corner. But we were always confronted by more steep walls. We were a party of 5 so were running out of time, and abbed off.
Think we should have battled our way up the steep ground much earlier on the traverse.
One to go back for.........

Ok, you've got unfinished business. It's a long day, and I remember taking some time to surmount the walls, and get back on the crest. We missed the last gondola by a few hours, and had to make the 'walk of shame' my moonlight.
