You can combine the first two pitches with a 70m rope no problem, and I seem to recall the supertopo says you can do it with a 60m...

Also, we used a #4 Camalot to protect the crux move on the upper half of the route.

Fun route, I thought the first pitch was more fun.

Please respect falcon nesting closures.

I confirm that the first two pitches can be combined with a 60m rope.
