Where we had climbed 2 days earlier we now abseiled in two fairly long pitches.

Abseiling the final pitch beside this spectacular waterfall.

 

 

Abseiling into the cloud and spray from the waterfall. It's raining steadily now.

After this abseil we returned - soaking wet - below the treeline and to our base camp in the forest.
