Rap stations/descent from the summit of Pingora. 70m is best. Could shorten the the number of raps with 2 70m ropes, but the rope snag factor will increase significantly.<br>

Last of four single rope raps. Finishes on grassy ledge.

We were heading up to Texas pass as we watched the climbers get to the top July 30th 2020. Thought whoever was climbing might like to see some of the shots I got of you standing on top. If interested, I have a few others. There was a snow slide below.

A shot of several parties on Pingora. I believe we were the upper most party.

Second of four raps from S. Buttress. Easy with single 70 m rope. Consider angling climber's right at start of rappel to avoid pulling rope into dihedral on left.
