    Llanberis Copper Mine hangers

    Does anyone know whether there are hangers in place here? If not, are the bolts 10mm or 12mm?

    No escape from Titan!

    Is this something more than high water levels?

    Rowter Hole Update

    We were in Rowter last Saturday and knotted out the, well through to the core, rub point on the up rope (to a large chamber) past Hypothermia Crawl, marked 'F'. This rope really needs replacing.

    This wasn't the site of the Peak CC dig which reopened this trip in 2022, that was further downstream. I'd imagine the squeeze area will be passable with a bit of the usual scraping once the weather settles down. The club has a plan to do some safety work in there so we may take a look when we...

    Water levels in the Gentlewoman /Youds squeeze.

    Peak CC have been through a couple of times this year. The first of the two squeezes tends to get clogged up with rocks falling downhill and the second by gravel so both are worth having a good dig at before attempting them. There is no evidence that I have see of them backing up and sumping...
