This is the view from the top of the climb. Chickies Direct is directly below. You can't see any of the final pitch here because the route is steep and overhanging in places. You can see the "grassy ledges" of pitch 2.
Double 60m rope rap from top all the way to the bottom.
red circle is the snag spot for double rope rap from the top all the way to the bottom. If you break the rap into two separate raps, you probably will not have an issue with this snag spot.
