Fixed ropes in Ireby 2

[Speleotron]

I heard a couple of rumours of some fixed ropes in Ireby 2 being in bad condition, I was just wondering if anyone knew anything about it? Which ropes are meant to be bad? Is it the skylight passage ropes, escalator rift or that one hanging out of the roof of Jupiter Cavern (where does that one go, and whats it rigged off? It looks enticing but pretty comitting).

The traverse anchors looked a bit dogey when I did it recently some where rather  rusty, but I did not notice anything too bad, but that does not mean there isn't anything. It was certainly rather an airey traverse that is for sure, so you are heavily relying on the rope.

OK is this the rope out of Jupiter Cavern? Where does it lead to is it worth going?

Sorry I did not read it properly, I was on about the rope route above Rope & Well pitches.

Jupiter cavern traverse rope and anchors from what I remember were in a rather sorry state. As is the rope that leads up to Jupiter cavern (Knots mid rope where there has been damage) The skylight rope seemed okay. Never been up the rope going up from Jupiter, there is suppose to be some pretties around there.
