From the top of P5, you can traverse across easy but exposed terrain, cut up through a crumbly notch, and finish on the last pitch of 1200' of fun. This enables a walkoff, which must be much better than rapping the low-angle slabs. I've done this 3 times now, and I'll add a pic of this 6th pitch.
if you're doing the linkup to 1200' (highly recommended), you'll notice that the P5 belay is not the most comfortable. If you move over to the big ledge nearby, you can build a gear anchor using some pockets. 2 of my 3 pieces were good, soft rock questions aside, and because there's so little chance of falling before clipping the bolt on 1200' P6, we were okay with it.
