There is now a rap route down from the top of Pitch 4 at a big ledge. Three raps back from here with 165 foot ropes puts you in a gully a hundred feet up from the start of the climb and avoids a hike back down the sand in rock shoes.
The last rap into the gully goes from an anchor that marks the top of a big flake called Lori's Little Layback 5.10b
