Actually, you don't need dual 60 meter ropes to rap off. Two 50 meter ropes reach the ground just fine.

Or, you can rap to the bolt at the top of pitch #1 with one 60 meter rope and rap a second time to the ground.

I've even rapped with one 50 meter rope and had to disconnect from rappel to scramble over to the belay bolt unroped.

	Hasn't voted	Yeah, trying to incorporate the belay bolt in 2 rappels is tricky. But you don't need 2 60's to reach the trail safely in one rap. Two 50 meter ropes will also reach the trail safely in one rappel from the chains on top.

Don't take the first trail north from the highway you come to that goes up the small ridge to the East Face. Instead, walk along the highway past the "Portland 22 miles" sign and go the the small "Adopt A Highway Program" sign. At that point, find the trail that heads right (north) down into a small brambly and swampy area. This trail will take you to the South Face climb.
