So i'm pretty new to caving. I've done a few trips to some caves where SRT isn't required, and i'm looking into getting some training through clubs, but none seem to reply to emails.
But one question i have regarding SRT is how people retrieve their ropes/ krabs on a through trip?
Take for example county pot to lancaster hole, with a 7m pitch near the start, set up that, abseil down and continue through, would you then circle back around to retrieve it from the other enterance again? Or would you rig a retrievable abseil? Or would you just have to leave your kit there?
(County pot seems to have in situ ropes, but if it didn't, what would be the answer?)
