A single 70m rope can be used for the first rap off the summit, make sure you land at the base of Pitch 3, even then we only had about 1-2' of tail on the end. A single 60m rope will NOT reach. If you have a 70m, this will help save some weight, you still need a double for the final rap, but you can stash a rope at the top of pitch 1's anchors if you have a 70 and not have to carry/trail it through the crux sections.

Additional potential pro'Tri cams fit into those old drilled pipe holes perfectly, & weight next to nothing, if you want an extra safety factor :)
