Swinsto - in situ tat

[IanWalker]

hi all

i heard this week that Swinsto pitch heads have again accumulated in situ tat, that this is blocking some of the drilled threads, and that some of it is already worn through to the core where it rubs on the corners of the drilled threads

if visiting, please consider taking a knife and cleaning it up (which you may have to if you want to use the drilled threads)

cheers

Badly cored bit of tat traverse line removed from the halfway ledge of Spout pitch (I think) where it was blocking a drilled thread.

Fgs why??? I’ve done the pull through twice and neither time was there any tat nor was it needed. Learn to use the pull down side to rig the traverse then the last person derigs it to the pitch and pulls down with it. And use the hangers to thread the rope through ( haven’t they been rigged so the rope doesn’t wear them now ? It’s a while since was last there?)
