Rapping from Sickle Ledge

Our plan for the day was to climb four pitches to Sickle Ledge without hauling, then rappel down (leaving ropes in place as we went), get the pigs, and jumar back up, hauling as we went. We were hoping to then climb and haul another pitch or two after that, if we had time. The Brendons had basically the same plan.

This photo shows Aaron and one of the Brendons on Sickle Ledge, while the other Brendon starts the first rappel. I am somewhere off to the left, jumaring up pitch 4.
