Comment: 1. There are several handlines going to the Upper Falls. Not overly difficult, but not for inexperienced people or those lacking in hand or upper body strength.
2. The large ledge 30' above the bottom of the Upper Falls accumulates significant debris in the form of rocks and small trees. Rope catch potential when pulling is HIGH. You can get off rappel and try to pull from a narrower ledge ABOVE this bigger ledge (may be a bad angle?) And then set up a 60' rap using bolts in the wall DCL. Or, maybe better, pull the rope from the bottom, cross your fingers that it pulls. If not, be prepared with a short rope to descend about 30' to the ledge from this bolt (after reascending the 1st handline), free or retrieve the rope and either reascend OR continue for a total of about 60' back to the bottom. 3. Can confirm that the bolts DCR of the Upper Falls put you in the main flow at times. Be prepared to manage your rappel. 4. The anchor for the Lower Falls is bolts set well back. If you want to pull from the bottom of the drop, come prepared with about 30' of webbing to make it to the edge. 5. Our time of 3hrs was partly spent retrieving our rope. If everything goes perfectly, could do this easily in under 2hrs.
