giants hole , ladder lengths

[Andyj23UK]

hi - can someone please assist with the logistics of a giants hole trip ? ladders required to do ladder / lifleine descents 

garlands pot - is reportedly 7m deep - so a single 10m ladder will suffice ?

geology pot - no depth given - but as the rigging guide says 25m rope - witrh a very simple pitch head , is 15 or 20m ladders required ?

also are the fixed aids still in place , ie :

1 the small [ 3m ? ] rigid metal ladder down the waterfall at the end of crabwalk

2 the handline up the scramble from eating house / maggins rift > north east swallet

thanks in advance

What about Razor Edge cascade?

Easy freeclimb, if moist!
Feet first, face down in the water and slide through, handholds in the water until you can roll over into the chamber below

Yeah...I usually end up in an ungainly heap at the bottom.  :-[

That's why i asked.
