I have done the rap off three times now (four people, two ropes) and don't consider it worth the effort. It might be worthwhile if you only had two people (and two ropes - which is not so usual). Aside from the time that it takes for 4 X 2 descents - as it is a double rap - tossing the ropes onto the slab below inevitably means that they don't uncoil neatly and that the first to rap has to sort the mess out.

It is actually much quicker to walk West from off the top of the Nth Jawbone, pick up the walking track that heads South to The Farmyard. Before this track gets to the Farmyard descend East down the Jawbone Creek Track (this is the same one that you ascend to the crag from the car park) Follow the pad back up to the base of the crag. This is best done with shoes rather than bare feet.
