I presume you mean "Speedwell" Cavern Halfway House, rather than Peak Cavern Halfway House? Assuming the former, it goes off the show cave section, so it's not as simple as just going for a trip. I don't know what the state of the ropes is at the moment but last time I was there I really didn't like the stacked deads.
There is at least one person who regularly uses this forum who has been up Pilkington's not too long ago, so hopefully he'll be able to give you information. From memory (Scud can probably confirm either way) neither of these areas is included in the list of fixed aids which the Peak Cavern Keyholders do their best to maintain, so, whatever people tell you on here, proceed with great caution.
