Escape trail from Pierce's Pass? 19-Jan-2015 At 9:50:28 AM Drake
Message
Is there an established escape trail from the Pierce’s Pass area?

My partner and I attempted Contented Cows – Hotel Cali yesterday and had to bail from the top of pitch 2 (partner aggravated an old foot injury with new climbing shoes and was in too much pain to climb, but could walk). We talked about many options for climbing out, including me leading and her prussicking the West Face of Mirrorball, but even that was beyond her. We rapped, bushwhacked downhill to the trail along the grose river, and hiked up the Pierce’s Pass track. In short- this sucked. The downhill bushwhack was a horrible thrash through thorny bushes and vines from the bushfire regeneration, and we were both bleeding from many minor lacerations by the end of it. I spent the rest of the evening pulling out thorns with tweezers.

So, I would like to avoid a repeat of that nonsense. Was there an easier way to hike out?
