Yeah I wish it was. But it didn't/doesn't scrape a forum which is in the php-format that we used back then. Mind you all our trip reports are intact (as per the link above), but all the forum talk is lost - which is a shame because there was a lot of good reporting there and more people chipping...

> Odd that Willerup just stopped. Hi guys, One of the Willerups here. So excited to read about your activities. We had our own forum running back then on our website. It was indeed pretty active and provided a good platform for our explorations. I have tried a few years to resurrect the...

My brother and I used to host adventurehut.com - which had online logging of climbing, kayaking and caving combined (the sports we were practicing). It went through a number of iterations over many years and we have now returned to the first version which was running without an underlying...

Thanks. Good point - the 8.5mm is a twin rope.

Hi all, back into caving after a 10 year break. Loving it. So, my SRT kit is all fitted with 10mm static rope on all bits. I am obviously replacing all this, but what's the recommended cord diameters? I have a retired 8.5 meter ice climbing rope (that is in good condition) that I am keen to make...
