I apologise if my wording was imprecise. I was trying to say that I wouldn't fancy climbing down from the top of Easegill Aven using a handline. On the other hand, I also avoid the handlines in Spiral Staircase Passage, but other people seem to leap up and down them with gay abandon.stu said:susie said:I wandered over the top of Easegill Aven earlier today with my grand-daughter and a friend of hers, and I can confirm that the thick hairy rope is still there.

Haha, the rope or the climb down!!!?
She must be a strange sort if she spends so much time in Spiral Staircase passage..I didn't know my sister's old school chum, Gay, had taken up caving; she always was keen on outdoor pursuits. Obviously now married, given her change of surname.
They have handlines now?On the other hand, I also avoid the handlines in Spiral Staircase Passage, but other people seem to leap up and down them with gay abandon.
