We needed a rest day, and after a bit of a debate we decided to return to Chamonix, where we could return to day routes...
So following the route we came to Grindlewald, in reverse, we dropped down into Chamonix.
This side of the pass was grim, there was low cloud all around and the forecast was for cloud and precipitation for the remainder of the week.
After a short conversation we had some dinner and continued driving, through the night to the channel and home.
