a)there are 2 anchors on the pinnacle, I assumed you rapped on the downwind side
b) pull the knot over the edge before the last person raps (move knot over edge, pull up double strand, clip abseil device in below knot, put a stopper knot below this. hand over down till you are over edge and below knot, undo stopper and continue)
c)Use the better rap descent describe earlier (15m right of this, nowhere to catch ropes)

d) if you were doing HC, you had prussic loops, prussic back rope (20 minutes) and free it. If no prussics, don't go out on airy multipitch routes.
