Cow Pot to Aardvark Country tackle

[WillFox]

Does anybody know if you actually need the two 8mm nuts specified in NFTFH for the traverse at the bottom of the second pitch when heading from Cow pot to Aardvark country or are there hangers in place? I will hopefully be able to find a few at the dump, but it would be nice to know the trip is still on the cards if I can't find any.

There were in-situ hangers years ago..

Seems it was rigged in 2015:

& definitely hangers in 2010:

I will be there this weekend and have some you can borrow. Although, if you want to go to maracaibo and woodhouse way the main drain might be a bit exciting this weekend...

It was rigged when I did it last year with exception to the entrance pitch and the 14m free climb.

Brilliant, thanks a lot. Seems likely it will be rigged (or at the very least have hangers) then. I'll have to see what the weather is actually doing at the weekend as the seems to be  changing several times a day at the moment.

It looks like snow at the moment... but who knows. I predict a plague of locusts followed by cats but no dogs down pour.
