Walk off the back and down the right side of the cliff. Its an easy 15 minute descent. There are rap
chains - but they are very hard to find and require two ropes. Walk down is much safer.

Note that at the time of that post there was only a set at the top, and the second rap required using the tree on Spiegal's. I personally think the walk off is a better option.

They are quite hidden and right on the edge - quite dangerous to scramble down to find them.

If you dont like the prickle bushes pack a set of gardening gloves. They bring sanity to even the bissets walk in
