Croesor Rhosydd

[JoshW]

Do we really think somebody is deliberately cutting ropes? That's a very serious matter if we do.

Are we 100% sure it's not incompetence / poor rigging? From my memory of the pitches at the Croesor end, there are multiple sharp edges on the rock, and it is very hard to avoid catching the rope on them. Somebody with little experience (i.e. the typical visitor) will just shoot down without a care in the world...

Surely if someone cut it whilst abbing of it it we'd have heard of an injury? I don't know the pitch in question, so got no idea

I think they found out on Facebook unfortunately.
I?d like to think my rigging is good! It seems after further discussion with the person who found it today, that the new rope I put in has just been pulled up. I?m heading back up that way tomorrow (again ) I will secure the rope at the bottom of the pitch to prevent it being pulled up again.
Also I?ll put some bolts in so the wall can be climbed and protected so if the rope goes again, at least one member of a party can climb up and rig a rope.

The ropes on the croesor side mostly have rope protectors on the rock now, but a couple could do with replacing. A job for someone else! I?ve spent far too much time sorting this out already!!
