From the comments and descriptions I've read, I'm getting the impression that rappelling the North Face is the preferred option (clean, long rappels), while Kor-Ingalls is necessary if you only brought one rope.

Is that accurate? A couple people mentioned that a doubled-up 70 may be too short on the North Face. Aug 30, 2017

N. Face rap is definitely preferred. We climbed with twin 60m ropes and it took to rappels to reach the ground. Sep 4, 2017

Thanks Jason! We went down there back in September so I'll just add that a single 70m rope is definitely too short for the North Face rappels! you can make it work if you're already in that situation and the first man down has some cams to make an intermediate anchor off to the right... But this is NOT ideal and you should definitely look for the Kor-Ingalls chains if you're like me, and... more Thanks Jason!
