Comments: Time reflects combo with Jehova Bridge and a few issues along the way.
Could not find any previous note of an anchor, ghosted, no materials were left behind, use your judgment and be able to evaluate an anchor strenght/location if you are choosing this to bail instead of exiting via the approach.
Fun rappel but not worth much time or energy, not sure a 220' would get you to the ground from the small bush/tree bundle I used, felt more like 240' before touchdown to the steep bowl, but I could be wrong. I woulnd't used anything less than a 250' rope, so I'd say if you're looking to use as a bail-out for weather from mormon spires, either just keep hiking out or go farther LDC to find a brushy gully where shorter rap distances would get you down. Bailout in dry conditions same or farther RDC, though this is a fun spot to bail and enter the drainage, really a good location.

Comment: we took the rainbow ridge approach and stopped in at the jehova arch. set a bomber anchor for the 220' drop. rope barely touches in a steep side of the bowl. we rapped off the 250 and used the 220' for the pull. a 220' will barely touch but will get you down.
