appreciate all the advice guys. I'm no stranger to exposure and am comfortable climbing long routes. I was also planning on rapping for the decent so I wouldn't have to worry about finding the downclimb. and I may have found somebody versed in flatirons solo to do it with me. I think I'm all set! appreciate all the help and honesty!
If you find the rap, you found the down climb. Straight down the rap line for 15 or 20 feet to the huge ledge. Head right to the south side taking easiest line angling to the east. Pretty straight forward. Rapping works too of course.
Another option if you're worried about routefinding on the downclimb of the 1st is to the 2nd, then before you head back to Chautauqua climb up the 1st downclimb for future reference. It's exposed, but juggy and the ramp system is obvious.
