Since it was still early in the day when we came back down to the hut from the Trifthorn and Graham didn't feel like he'd done enough work for the day (not joking!) it was suggested to make the most of the dry weather by doing the traverse of Le Mammouth right behind the hut. I was still a bit tired from not having slept in the night, but eventually let myself get persuaded into doing it. Aga was convinced she'd be holding us back since she'd not done so much scrambling/climbing so she chose to stay behind at the hut and take a nap in the afternoon. So in the end we left around midday as the clouds were starting to roll in and walked back down the path from the hut to the foot of the ridge. It was good quality, fun scrambling with a few bits of downclimbing in between. It was supposed to take 4-5 hours according to most guidebooks, but since we were moving together for most of the way and Graham led a few short pitches, we used only 2h 20m for the round trip :-) I didn't regret going back out after all!
