    The section down from Pico del Fraile (Nevado Toluca summit) is a bit precarious at first but it soon gets easier and after 30 mins you get to a natural col. Here you take a detour steep downhill to the right towards the Lake of Sun/Sol. This downhill is amply shown in the photos I have uploaded to the segment. This is a 30min sandy/shale gulley skid that takes you all the way down to the Lake of the Sun.

      We went down from the summit by this path, it’s rubble and dirt everywhere but it you trust your ankles it can be quite fun and you have nice view of the lake. It took us 15-20 min to go downhill.
