I was going to object this dismissal of chockstone and Victorians. However looking back over the previous post I can see why it was said.

I would expect that most people climbing out of this canyon would be doing it on a static rope. You use what you have available.

However, the most important thing here isn't the choice of rope or equipment. It is having a competent and CONFIDENT person in the group to lead the climb. If you are all good scramblers then you'll find the climb easy. The issue is the exposure and keeping a cool head to climb it safely.
