Looking back at my descent slope from the summit dome. Basically following the strata up the slope.

I scouted around the summit looking for a route down that didn't involve downclimbing the overhang of the arch. Didn't find one from left or right. (Did find this 3rd tinaja which, unlike the others, was exposed and unfrozen)

Profile view of the summit dome. Ascent route was from the bottom left to the upper right along the strata.

I eventually figured out that I could descend the back side of the arch tinaja. (Which I found out after my return is the recommended route). Took advantage of a downed tree leaning against the slope on the descent.

Looking out from under the arch. Was losing sunlight fast at this point.

Down climbing the top section of the class 3 crack. Didn't bother with the crack at all on the descent and just headed down the ridge.

Bottoming out. The descent only took about 10 minutes.

Looking back up at the crack from the saddle.

The saddle was soon cloaked in shadow as the sun started dipping behind the ridge. I'd be racing the sun the whole way upslope.
