Someone has put some new ropes on the ghost rift in giants.
Brilliant - good effort - nice one -
However
why didnt they take the old rope out. :evil:
Now there are two ropes one thin - but newer, one thick but older. Which do I use.
The thin one obv. cause I know its newer - but most people who dont know will use the thick one. "cause its thicker innit."
This kind of thing really gets on my tits.
Further more, there is a re-belay. The bolt is one of those chunky stainless 'hook' type things with a wire gate (similar to these) - nice
but the new rope as been attached to this with an old ali screw gate which is already starting to deteriorate/corrode.
well what was the point of that :roll: - why not unclip the old rope and clip in the new one.
If the knots at the top were too tight (and you aint got a knife, which you should have)- then just coil the rope at the top to prevent people using it.
Anyhow - should be up there again soon - so Im going to sort it out, unless anyone could come up with a good reason to leave both in place, and the good rope rebelayed to a rotting krab.
