I expect the bolt ladder is much more fun with aiders rather than yarding on draws

Tossing the rope from the Rap. Two 60M will get you back down from here.<br>
Don't toss the ropes from this spot when it's windy.

The rap route from the summit to the base of the Pioneer Route. One short rap from the top chains, reset on the nose boulder chains, and then enjoy the ride. We used a 70m rope and a 70m tag line. Two 60m would work also.
