We had tried in vain to spot a shortcut that would take us back onto the main ridge further along than where we'd left it. It would no doubt be possible to find a route yourself, but the slopes are pretty craggy and we reckoned it was much easier just to follow the path back to the col. Once there we met up with Alan again and had to decide if we were up for Number Three or not. Ruth and I decided we could make it and after a short rest we headed off up the first part of the ascent. We left Alan still weighing it up, but a few minutes later we saw that he had made the same decision as us and was following not far behind.
