This time I led the first pitch, and Aaron led the second. He went all the way
to the chains without running out of rope, so it is quite possible to do this
in two pitches with no trickery (with a 60 meter rope, of course.) We decided
to rap from the chains, to get a good look at The Green Arch, in case we
wanted to try it. It looked hard, but Aaron really wanted to do it. Maybe
we'll try it next time. On the way down, I also scoped out the alternate
finish to the Mechanic's Route. Right after you get out of the run-out
solution pockets, keep looking down and right, and you'll notice a dike/ledge
leading to the right. It may look a bit hard, but there's pro before you start
traversing, and after just a few feet, it's totally trivial (the problem is,
you can't tell this when you start doing it, because it's around a corner.)
