Browsing Facebook today I came across this post in the Descent group (nothing to do with the magazine).
Looks like Garth Iron Mine to me and the photos there seem to show quite a drop to the floor. Would anyone else rig a hawser-laid handline here? To me, handlines are fine for a short ramp but aren't suitable for a long pitch where a slip could result in a long slide to a hard landing.
