Cool guys from LA cruising the start of P5. Notice the line of water on climbers' right - not a great early spring route.

Gregory heading up pitch 5.

You can rappel the route with a single 70m rope. The crucial rappel is to rappel off the tree on the right side of the ledge at the top of Pitch 2.

Combining P3 & P4 is definitely the way to go!
