It has you dropping off near vertical cliffs from the summit N into Coire Gorm.The usual route descending this direction would be following the ridge NE from summit veering E toward Meallan Diomhain then retracing your steps. Sorry if i'm wrong and you really did take the hard way down!

Sorry if i'm wrong and you really did take the hard way down! My mistake! Obviously my map reading and general sense of direction need a bit of work! Thanks for putting me right - altho I have to say it did feel near vertical at the time even if it wasn't!!! Tried to add a new route, slightly more based in reality, but now seem to have lost the map parts - probably for the best!!

Walking can be dangerous and all walkers must take personal responsibility for their own safety. You should always carry a backup means of navigation and not rely on a single phone, app or map.
