I recall stepping into the chimney(first real lead), remembering not to look down and slotting in the #7 hex. Once the hex was seated it was in the bag.
It is possible to rappel from the top of the 3rd pitch of Skyline, down the east face. You can sling the large pine at the top of the face. Two sixty meter ropes are necessary to make it all the way to the ground. A 60 and a 50 will make it, but you will have to work the knot down to the ledge about 10' below the tree.
