Can the first 3 pitches of Regular Route Half Dome be fixed with a 60m rope ? Or do you need a 70m?

From the belay below the bolt ladder (end of P3), it is ~90m to the ground.

Thank you Guy. That appears to be correct according to the topo map.

Thank you Drew! Let me know when you are in the Bay next time.
