I've now done both once, found big bags down the walk in sucked (ended up lowering at 2 points), and rope pull down on DOTF raps was pretty average (ended up using jumars to pull down, probably just the rough granite). If going very light I'd walk, otherwise I'd rap in future. Bring a knife/fresh tat/bail biners or mallions to extend some of the DOTF rap points, and ride the pigs (wombats) for every rap.

Doing the walk in would have an ancillary benefit in making bailing both safer (knowing the route) and less attractive if you think that may be an issue.

Fixed lines on the walk in were in OK shape, and I left a static to extend the DOTF raps in Dec that may still be in situ.

We're down a no 2 C4 (last seen low down on p10), if you find it and are feeling generous let us know.
