* The following is highly dependent on your groups ability *

Instead of going back the way you came in you could go up to Dicovery Pinnacle drop down the sand hill to upper Crabtree Lake then up and over Crabtree Pass into the Miter Basin. Wander down the Miter Basin and then take the use trail down rock creek to the junction and head up to Old Army or New Army passes perhaps hitting Langley if your group feels. The route finding through Miter Basin is pretty straight forward, mostly use trails and path of least resistance to get where you need to go. Cuts off some miles, and takes you through some really stunning areas.
