Hi all,
On a trip to the bottom of Grange Rigg on Saturday, I was keen to get through the drain pipe and into the final sump chamber.
The description in the black book describes clambering through the boulders at the bottom of the last pitch and through a downwards sloping squeeze. There is no indication of the squeeze being desperately tight however, when I got to the squeeze as described, it looked unfeasibly tight. I?m hardly big and a couple of feet first attempts had me wussing out.
The whole area appears quite unstable and I was not overly happy in the choke,
I have read a couple of reports stating this area may have collapsed, closing the squeeze to its current dimensions and rendering it impassable.
Does anyone have any further info on this area of GR..or is the passage(Drainpipe and final sump chamber) beyond just for the mega(and I mean mega) skinny?
Cheers.
