Its a worrying trend with people heading onto things like this as there first multi. Like was said before if your rope work isn't nailed you can loose 2 hours of daylight on something like this.

Somehow i think it wont be the last trip out there to rescue someone. A cold uncomfortable night on a ledge seems to be becoming less and less common with people.
