Hey everyone, I typically cave in the Peaks or Dales but I am venturing down to the Mendips for the first time next weekend, very excited! Up north we have a bunch of great rigging guides and surveys but I'm struggling to find much on the Mendips. I have came across the Mendips Underground...

Cheers for all that Alastair, I'll give it a go if I can figure it out when I'm there at the weekend!

Thanks for the advice everyone. After hearing about the traverse it sounds like one of my group might be too anxious for it. So we'll just do the pull-through. I really like the idea Andrew has of climbing up at the start and leaving the rope and SRT kit but since I don't know what I'm looking...

Cheers Larry. What is COD? So we should be good for the trip with just a 20m for Garlands and a 30m for the traverse pull-through?

Hey guys, 3 of us are going to do the Giant's round trip at the weekend. I'm the only one of us who has done that trip, and it was my first caving experience, so we were lowered down from above the crabwalk and our instructor took the rope and traversed along the top to meet us. We're all...

No troubles, the CNCC topos are already very nice and clear, I just wasn't sure on the segment lengths. I typically venture to the peaks as it's closer for me in East Anglia, and their rigging guides have the segment length in a circle and the total length in a square which I think is handy...

Hey everyone, Just a quick one. Wanted to clarify rope lengths on the CNCC guides for the dales. On split pitches like the one linked, is the length 15m + 25m = 40m total, or is it section lengths so 15m + 10m = 25m total? Cheers, Jamie
