Shirley setting up the rappel at the top of Old Man. Note that double ropes are mandatory here! Your single 50 or even 60 meter will NOT reach the notch (May 1, 2004).

raps

A double rope rap will reach the ground, a single 50 m rope will reach the notch (first belay), where a second rap from slings at horn (at the notch) will reach the ground.
