You can also use the ender dragon egg to break bedrock and make an opening to get back down.
And yes, you can do that in vanilla survival. No cheats or mods required.
Correction, an overworld portal will never connect to a nether portal whose base is at Y128+. Drop the base down a block and you have a portal that will link from the overworld and allow you to step out above the nether roof.
Portal on the left will not connect from the overworld. Portal on the right will, and then you just hop up 1 block to get out.
How do you create the portal on the right? Did you have to break the bedrock first? Or did you create it in the over world with a base at 127?

You don't have to break the bedrock first, but it's certainly easier. There is a way to force a portal to form through bedrock, but it requires a ton of area prep, so it's simpler to use the dragon egg to break bedrock and build the portal.
For info on breaking bedrock with the dragon egg, see the spoiler in my post #30 above.
Rays Works has a youtube video on forcing portals through bedrock if you are curious.
If you mean this video below... he uses dragon-eggs to remove the uppermost 4 bedrock - and the explains that the portal cannot remove the highest level of bedrock.
Thanks for the correction. It's been awhile since I saw that video and I forgot about that part.
