Coming down off the rap root. It looks laid back, I know.
We were having a hard time believing that this descent should be so sketchy. It took us about two hours to get down. Kind of ridiculous.
Then we looked up and saw that we'd gone off route by, oh... A LOT. We could see the snow slope we should have descended, which, though loose, verglassed and still possibly might have been smart to rappel, would have taken us perhaps half an hour and would have been infinitely safer.
C'est la vie.
