Ah-ha! There it is!

After shivering and puzzling over route descriptions during breakfast,
a guy came hiking be - fully loaded with axes, crampons, and overnight
gear for a week - and pointed out where our route started. Of course
it was too late to go for it, (we'll do it tomorrow), so after much
hemming and hawing we did the 90 minute hike down for a burger, some
reading, and yoga in the sun. As we grunt up the 2000' of switchbacks
tonight to our gear, I am not sure it will have been worth it.
