Rapping Touchstone Route

Going out to zion to solo touchstone. I was wondering if anyone in the online world knows if it is possible to rap with a 70m rope from gigantic tree at the base of the last pitch? I've done the standard gulley with a partner before and don't wish to repeat it. I was just wondering if it takes two lines or if i can make it with a 70. Planning on taking some cord to rappell with but want to leave it on the ground. Thanks in advance.

I'm not sure you'll make it even with a 70. If memory serves correct the 3rd or 4th pitch seemed to be about 40-50 meters anchor to anchor. Bring some 6mm tag and you'll be stylin!

You can easily rap the route with two 70m ropes. Bring some cord to back up some of the existing anchor tat.

Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
