No problem at all Simon, yes give me a shout anytime you fancy a trip to the bottom :thumbsup:

And we'll soon be starting to re gear the western workings ...

Cheers
Matt

Ive been meaning to do this for a while, was up there before and by chance bumped into Pete and his mate (sorry forgot your name :lol:) who where busy bolting the first pitch.

The problem for me is that I only have 2 ropes a 25m and a 40m so wouldn't get very far.

Very keen to go down though, spent far too much time above ground recently :thumbsup:

Lovely place...

It features 'hanging death' (championship edition):

And a man trying to escape:

We descended one floor - but not the second pitch even though we had enough rope immediately to hand - apparently there's a level 8m below this:

Okies, ive just uploaded a description to go alongside the rigging topo and survey. Enjoy tonight if you do get down - the level off the bottom of the second pitch is well worth a visit as a short trip, some lovely copper staining and nice wall of deads to photograph...

Thank you for uploading these - probably should have read them properly before we went! 😉

Ah yes you swing in to the level below, 8m down from where you where, to split the big pitch and allow exploration of the level..

Nice photos, yep its certainly a study in anti-gravity in there :o:
