This had me reminiscing about Summit day on Kilimanjaro. The descent is down the scree slope and really hard on the knees and ankles. The only way really to get down is to step down quite quickly and slide your way down. As long as you dig your ankles in and lean towards the mountain then it is OK. Several times it was easier to surf down on hands and feet - also a few large rocks had to be avoided from people descending above. It took about 20 minutes to get down - just a tad quicker than going up.
