tatoosh - castle, unicorn raps?

[rob]

I've read that some people just rap off the castle (and unicorn?) instead of down climbing. What's the rap like? Is a 30m line worth it (and long enough?) or is it not worth the weight?

I did the Plummer to Unicorn section of the Tatoosh traverse. I didn't feel comfortable enough to summit Castle (loose/chossy) but I had no trouble up and down on Unicorn. The 5th class is brief though exposed.

A 30m rope is sufficient for the rap off The Castle.
