Years ago I did the V notch with new partner. Once we topped out he wouldn,t rappel. We wound up walking down, arriving at 3rd lake. I can't remember the route we took but suspect it was right (north) and down. On a recent trip on Sill I tried left and down and that didn't work out so well! Any ideas?
From the top of the V-Notch, if you went right(north), you would have had to get around Polemonium Peak, and then down U-Notch to the glacier. But that's not really a 'walk off'.
There is the U-Notch Analog, the west facing gully that goes down from U-Notch, I suppose you could go down that, traverse northwards to Thunderbolt Col and then pop over Winchell Col to regain the Palisade Glacier side.
