My 2nd trip up Jah Man, 5 years apart I think. You do not even need to bring a C4#2. If you have them, 4 .75's and 1st are nice. Three pitches is the way to do this route, combine the first two and last two as the FA's had it configured. 60m rope no worries for the rap straight down. Could do it in 4 with a 60m, safer to take 5. The 4th pitch is the most sustained by far. Perhaps the traverse on the 3rd pitch is a bit more exposed/technical.

Jah Man
With Jackie from Oz and Huck from Roswell. Great times with "good mates". A bit tougher than I thought it would be, or I am just getting old. Loved the squeeze chimney, my cup of tea. I combined the first two pitches. The 3rd pitch crux goes best low, cross under the bolt. Combined the last two pitches (4-5). The 4th pitch is sustained, crux came at the end I thought. The 5th pitch pro was pretty solid, despite how old those pins are, felt bomber to me. Watch that first rap, advise pulling the knot out over the lip below.
