Descent info:
• With 2 60 meter ropes do one rap from the summit (you can do this part with one rope) to the top of pitch 2. Then one 180’ rap to the ground. • With one 60meter rope do one rap from the summit to the top of pitch 2. Another rap to the top of Easton's Corner(this is the5.11 left facing corner to the right of the original start). These rap anchors are visible from the ground. Then one 100’ rap to the bottom.
Route is best done in 4 pitches. Pitch 3 is a scramble, but necessary to set up your partner for the last pitch. The rock quality deteriorates at the top and I took a fall near last pin when large foothold broke loose. Might be best to aid through this section?? Nice to have #5 and #6 Camalot for P2 Fatty (sl. sandbagged for 5.9).
