It has recently been reported that, at the first natural anchor, before going through the very tight window into Damocles Rift, the fixed SRT rope appears to have been attached to the anchor in a less than safe way, such that there may be a danger of it failing. It is suggested that the rope needs re-rigging or replacing. Note that DCA does not install or maintain fixed ropes and is not responsible for the fixed rope leading up to Damocles Rift from Millers Chamber.
DCA has installed and maintains the anchors and cords for the pull-thro? system which allows access to Millers Chamber from the Main Chamber of Eldon Hole, requiring cavers to provide their own 55m rope with which to make the climb up.
