We did OK with two 60' pieces of 8mm static -- two pieces may be better for a multi-person party (than one longer rope). I would bring maybe 20' 15mm webbing to add slings if need be.
The pull might be tricky on the crux pitch -- direct the rope over the south "face" and make sure the are no snags on the chickenheads on the way down.

Re: ropeI'm going to copy and paste this into the page to supplement my own notes. My 50m 8mm rope was really light, though, only about 2.5 lbs.

Re: ropewow-- I've never seen an 8mm rope that weighed less than 38g/m

Re: ropeOops...it's a little over 4 pounds. Don't know where I pulled the 2.5 from.
