Helvellyn40: I can't comment as that chap has either more guts than me, or less fear of an accident.
But, like you, faced with that descent, I would be your way round.
Makes me sick looking at it!

The first section is intimidating in descent,but have always descended facing down on this route,unlike the guy in the photo,who looks rather uncomfortable.

This was his way of getting down. I believe he did it safely.

Laws of Physics: What goes up, must come down. The only question is where does he come down?
That's where Stephen and I saw a small group stutter, stop and eventually retreat.
Good move as the day before a chap did come down, not his intended descent, survived and thanked Mountain rescue from his hospital bed.
