Bailing on a 100 odd metre climb? Seriously bro, what time do you intend getting off the deck?
If you’re going to camp in the Eagles Eyrie then taking the necessary for that is well up the aid climbing track with associated slowness, and even then by the time you get to that height you’ve already done the crux and it’s not much more than a walk-in to it!
Here’s my time saving tip - run pitches 2 and 3 together as one 45 m run skipping the intermediate belay. Bro’s Simey and Glenn won’t mind.
