Rob Lewis on rappel

Description 

Belay from the notch in between Hairy Pin and Safety Pin. Climb the ridge from here until you can work into the saftey pin slot. Climb this until its end, then head right and to the top. Sling the top for an anchor. The rap is somewhat scary because the summit is pretty flat.

Protection 

Small gear. Nuts work well. No anchors on top, so bring webbing to sling the summit. A very interesting simul rappel is required.
