This is a relatively soft 5.7, perfect for beginners on a multi-pitch. At the top, there are a separate set of rappel chains, about 15 feet to the northeast down the back slope. Two 50 meter ropes or one 70 would be sufficient for a rap to the gulley, although there are another set of rap chains on platform just after the hanging part of the rap, if you only have a 50 or a 60, although the potential of getting your rope caught up this way increases dramatically. Great climb!
