I'd stick with the route you've chosen, as your packs will be lighter going down. I think the SE/NE rim is closed during that time period.

Some people find it harder to go down stairs rather than up them. It's the same with steep trails. To each his own. For me, the pounding from going down a trail under load is worse than the effort required to go up.
