I've been mapping out a new ascent line that cuts through the old ridge but skims the ridgeline in a way that might shave a half hour off the descent. What do you think?
Belayshik
Sounds efficient, but don't let the line get you in a place where a mistake costs you time, not just the extra half hour. Keep the anchor placements tight, watch the snow, and trust your team more than the clock.

Got it, I’ll tighten the anchors, keep an eye on the snow, and trust the crew more than the timer—just don’t let that extra half hour slow me down. Let's make it count.

Looks good, but remember the half hour is only an advantage if the rope stays intact and the crew stays focused. Don't rush and double‑check those anchors—speed is only useful if you can still climb.
