A couple things:

1. The descent does not take an hour. 15 minutes from the top to the base is plenty of time, it could be done in a reasonable 5 minutes if you really wanted to hurry.
2. The last pitch is widely considered to be 5.9, and that is what is reported in the 3 guidebooks I have seen, as opposed to the 5.8 reported here.

The route is called Zion. See Alan Watts comment in the new guidebook which pointedly corrects this misnomer.

*What is "Route Beta"?
It's climber slang for information or tips on a route as in, "what's the beta on that route?" As a service to fellow climbers we ask SuperTopo guidebook users to post tips and updates to this website if they have relevant information to share after a climb.
