Haytime Hole: rope in Helm's Deep

Anyone want to lay claim to the rope in Haytime Hole leading to what appears to be a non-active dig in the roof tunnel?

I don't know about that, but as you've been recently, can I ask if the handline/tat is still in place for the last climb down?
Thanks

Do you mean the second pitch/climb, or the boulder choke climb?
There was a handline on the latter some time ago. Don't know about now.

Answering my own question: No. There used to be a handline on what I think of as the 3rd climb, that starts as a snaug rift but opens out into a big chamber. The tat was helpful, but the climb is still perfectly possible with care (though this was a minority opinion in last night's group).
