Looking back along the ridge, notice the shaded buttress on the left. Do NOT descend into the gully next to this thinking it is the way down. You need to go past this buttress on the top right side of it via a loose slot.

The top of the shaded buttress facing back. Lone Eagle is just left of center. Cairns mark the way down fairly well here.

Ridge north to Lone Eagle, from the first notch. See my comment for route description.
The final boulderfield descent. Triangle Lake appears on the right as you go down. Go left and take the left edge of the boulderfield to make your final way to the marshes.
