I think all of the loose rocks must have been pulled off already; I thought it was very clean (compared to Eldo at least). Not sure that you need a 60m rope to link 1&2 as we had a good bit (20 ft?) of rope left. Great protection and great holds/jams.

Location: CO : Gunnison : Black Canyon : North Chasm View Wall

It is stretched real tight, and you can't get your rappel device on the rope. We rappelled with a 60m, pulled our rope and used some slings to get down the last 15 feet of fixed rope.
2nd rope rappel was fine.

Location: CO : Gunnison : Black Canyon : North Chasm View Wall : A Midsummer's Night Dream (5.11a)

Yes, you can climb pitch 1/2 of Leisure Climb and then easy traverse over to Midsummer. Maybe 5.4 on the traverse, 20 feet. We belayed on Leisure and a 60m rope was sufficient to cover the traverse plus pitch 3 of Midsummer.
