if one goes above the tree ledge by maybe 20-25' (not quite to the end of a 60-m rope from the base), the climb would go at 2 pitches. I heard this from a girl @ the Hogsback & went about 15' past the tree ledge thinking this would suffice (I still had 20 or so ft of rope left, I think). I was really pissed when I got to the absolute end of the rope & only had another 10' or so of climbing left!!
