The whole thing is steep and if you fall outside the cables, lots of luck. But, the steepest part is probably 30 feet or so and close to the bottom. The rest is very manageable.

Come down facing into the the rock, holding the cables and taking long strides down, looking between your legs. Going down that way is way easy and not stressful.

An athletic 14 year old could probably do it outside the cables without much trouble.

Have fun.
Do you come down the whole way facing the rock? Or just the steep part?

Yeah, have read about a few deaths/injuries for those falling outside the cables.

Thanks
