All my years of caving I have always found idiots leap rigged and so would never think to put a rope in for it unless I was working with a group . Same goes for Giants round trip and a number of other systems.
I think you could add to the argument that you never know the history of something that's not yours. Maybe the argument goes future to removing fixed ropes completely?!!!!
Hmm, isn't there a sign by the stile that advises visiting cavers that certain pitches may or may not be rigged? I can't remember the exact wording but it's clear that cavers shouldn't assume the leap has a rope in situ.Gollum said:We all know the powers that be :thumbsdown:inform us that ropes are not fixed and we need to rig.
