Hardest four pitch 5.9 ever! I wanted to point out that if you're rapping with double ropes it would be a better idea to go down the north face still.. Either rap to the saddle atop the third pitch and then go to the ground from there, or (according to Kole) you can just rap straight from the summit to the ground with 2x200' ropes.
