Back around the late Ordovician I was part of an ex-Aberystwyth CC sub-group that installed 'temporary' 'fixed' ropes going up the Incline to facilitate fresher trips to the 'Roman' Level, Graig Fawr Stopes, etc. Over time 'temporary' transmuted to 'written-off' and the ropes were left in place indefinitely.
Fast forward to slightly more recent geological epochs and I observed that the ropes had received a degree of maintenance and replacement.
It's been <cough> a few years < cough> since I was last in Lefel Fawr but have promised to show a friend the key parts. Are there still 'fixed' ropes going up the incline and what condition are they?
Many thanks for any / all information!
