Getting off Peek-a-Boo at Table Rock

I've climbed Peek-a-Boo a couple of times, but never tried to rap off with one rope. The third pitch is a grunge fest and I'd rather not do it. I was wondering if anyone knew if you could reach any other rap stations on one rope from the top of P2?

Also, any beta on White Lightning would be much appreciated.

Never done Peekaboo but the description on this site says to rap off under the roof. If you top out you can always walk off.

White Lightning is pretty easy to get to, and its just before North Ridge. It can easily be seen from the base of North Ridge also. The first pitch is pretty sustained near the top and there is fixed gear to belay from for P2. P2 is short and when the corner end you can traverse all the way right and descend on the piton's fixed on P1 of North Ridge. Hope that helps.

If you are in that area, Second Stanza is really cool as well. We liked that better than White Lightning. Even though it is a little sandbagged, it is still no harder than 5.9. P2 and the start of P3 are amazing!

Carry two ropes and you can rap down. or you can climb up and traverse way left to the ledge at the base of p3 of hidden crack. from there it's two easy pitches to the top.

Thanks. I've only got one rope so I might try to traverse over to Hidden Crack.

Also, thanks for the info on White Lightning. I've always wanted to get on that route. I also plan to jump on North Ridge. Ive done all of the "classic" bolted routes out there, but haven't messed with the trad on Table Rock. If I wanted trad, I'd go into the gorge.

Anyways, thanks a lot!
