to cut the confusion, can we add to the "protection" or "getting down" section that: "A single 70m rope will just touch the ground" so as to put the pertinent info in one place vs sifting through the comments? thanks!

Text change suggestion for Protection:
*P1: 2 bolts to a 2-bolt belay
*P2: 3 bolts to a 2-bolt belay
*P3: straight up for 1 bolt to a 2-bolt belay, though I also saw at least 1 other bolt to the right, so probably other options exist.

Rappel anchor is ~15 feet down from the top. Either walk down or use bolts at top to rap or belay someone down to the rap anchors. A single 70m rope will reach the ground.

P2: Three bolts to a 2-bolt belay
P3: Straight up for 1 bolt to a 2-bolt belay, there is at least 1 other bolt to the right, other options may exist.

Rappel anchor is ~15 feet down from the top. Either walk down or use bolts at top to rap or belay someone down to the rap anchors. A single 70m rope will hang a few feet off the ground and will reach once weighted.

AKA- East Rib: 3 pitch bolted route (sparse) up the SW ridge. Absolutely amazing 100% free-hanging rappel down through the amphitheater!Need two 50m ropes for the rap (or a 70m will reach the ground once weighted). Some groups use this rapel to establish a rope swing. Beware rattlesnakes at the base of the climb!

Climbers should beware that this climb follows an ancient indigenous stairway. The chopped steps that appear from the very bottom all the way up to the top were carved probably between 800 ad and 1200 ad by the indigenous people of this area.  Care should be taken not to further damage these archeological steps by climbing traffic and rope grooves!
