Rappelling Off Inspiration Peak - 2 Ropes Needed?

[jpasteris]

Has anyone done the descent off Inspiration Peak recently? I'm wondering whether I need to haul a second rope along for rappelling the west ridge/south face. Most of the trip reports out there mention double rope rappels, but if it's not necessary, I'd rather not carry the extra weight of a second rope.

 

Thoughts?

I rapped off the W Ridge of Inspiration w a single 60m rope 10 years ago. Perhaps more recent visitors can comment.

In 2009 we used a single 60M

Used a single 60. 12 raps. Rap anchors on the W Ridge descent were abundant.
