Yes, it's rigged (Bitch + Leviathan Alt Upper) and you should be OK for this weekend - but we are discussing removing soon.

Originally rigged to allow easy access for work on Boulder Piles and the dams. The critical work is now complete - further work will be required, but we're waiting for some decisions by the keyholders and that may take some time. The rigging was never meant to be permanent, so it will probably be removed soon.

Had an awesome trip down JH yesterday and a good gander in Pilkington's. The flooded shafts at the bottom of the entrance have dropped by about 5ft and the speedwell streamway was very low.

I could swear that the long stemples at the bottom of Leviathan have been moving by themselves! I don't remember climbing up the muddy/boulder slope (just before the climb down to the lid/boulder piles) having to duck under a stemple at the top of the slope? Im pretty short so i'm sure it'd be a chore for giants!

I've always had to duck slightly, and i'm as short as they come...

following on...

Has JH been de-rigged yet? Thinking of a trip on Saturday afternoon.

Thanks.

Not by CCPC it hasn't--but as work on The Boulder Piles has reached a standstill ropes will be removed shortly. The work on the Boulder Piles is not yet complete.
