I'm working on some bouldering topos and listening to Giles Peterson.

No nasty wet caves for me :)

Stu, had you rigged the handline across the wall of Garlands opposite the 'normal' rigging?
You're right about it being a bit busy down there!

Giants was indeed busy - I was one of the two people running a tape measure around the round trip. Razor edge cascade and comic act cascade were particularly amusing :D

Would have been better if I had remembered my helmet and lamp though :oops:

Comic Act cascade was great! We saw you just above the eating house...

so whats the total distance of the round trip - (I assume thats what the tape measure was for).

We were doing it to put a description on the HNH online guidebook. Can't remember the total length, but the duck in the Windpipe is 'only' 7.5m (could have sworn it was longer), and there is a section of the Crabwalk over 210m long where nothing of note happens.

We also went to the top of Geology so there will also be a description of the section between there and the Eating House.
