Linking pitches on the green dragon

[Sol]

I rope-soloed the Green Dragon on friday the 3rd. Though normally climbed in 5 pitches i was able to link it together in 3 with a 70m rope:

 

Pitch 1: rather than climb the original start to the dragon, i started with the first pitch of DH/LA, Town Crier. I traversed into the first pitch from the ledge system that starts just above the flat staging area to the left of the first pitch. from this initial anchor I was able to link this first pitch with the second pitch of the green dragon with about 15 ft of my 70m rope to spare.

 

Pitch 2: linked 3 and 4 easily with 70m rope, could proably be done using a 60m.

 

Pitch 3: climbed standard fifth pitch to anchors and topout.

 

worth noting that because of rope drag it would be difficult to link the first two and the second two if not using a solo-system. also, the fixed pins on the traversing section of pitch 5 are gone, goes clean with small cams and gardening. all in all, an efficient way to experience what i think is the best moderate aid route on the upper town wall.

So how long a rope would I need to do it in two pitches?

by my calculations you would need a 81.9385783374823748374838738383847438 meter rope to climb the GD in two pitches
