Hey everyone who is either going that way or looking at rebolting.
While doing the standard through trip I moved the piping originally preventing wear and tear on the boulder belay on the second to the start of the traverses with multiple ropes if you've been there recently you know the one. This could do with some tlc and so if it was to be rerigged I thought the piping might be useful, hence why I haven't removed it. The entire traverse could do with rebolting to be honest but another problem. The second pitch's rope is extremely shagged to the point of nearly being desheathed about a meter off the floor so be careful, I haven't isolated it as a knot pass a meter of the floor is probably more dangerous than abseiling onto dodgy rope that high up. I did notice a spare rope stashed at the first pitch that may be useful to rerigg not sure if the rope had other intentions. While I'm ranting on the boat also leaks so will need bailing at the start but remains afloat during the crossing so nothing to scary just something to be wary off. When I'm back in North Wales would be happy to help make it safer but I cant drive so I may be of little help.
