description
For the descent take care, it might not be easy to locate it especially in the dark.
After topping out you follow a trail and a bunch of cairns down. Then you continue walking down on some slabs The rap station is as you walk down facing the valley to the right hand side (Skier's-right) A chain on a ledge with usually some fixed ropes, We did 6 raps (the last 2 were short)
Do NOT go left! Do NOT rap from the tat and old rings that are on a very dead looking tree.
After the raps follow a long but obvious trail through the trees and back on the road
