Jingling Pot

[damian]

Maybe I'm the only person in the world who doesn't know this, but while waiting to go down Aquamole Pot, I discovered on Sunday that there is a p-bolted route down the surface rift into Jingling. I popped down it after Aquamole and it provides a nice route down the main shaft without having to mess about with the trees. It occured to me it would make a nice exchange with the Lateral Cleft Route.

Well worth a look if you happen to be there - 2 bolts to a 3 bolt traverse to a single-bolt rebelay about a third of the way down.

The only downside is the (inevitable) dead sheep at the bottom which was seriously smelling!

That'll be three people who didn't know then :-[

However, there is something quite entertaining about rigging off the trees, in a trouser filling kind of way

Even more so now that one of them has snapped in half!

That's four if you include me! Thanks Damian.

It's even more entertaining when windy and the trees move around as you dangle below...

I actually DID know about it since I had a chat across the abyss with some blokes who were going that way when I used the trouser-filling tree route which I found rather fun. I even offered to play "human conkers" with them across the void as I pendulumed out on the return as two of us prusiked alongside each other.

Ah the old times come flooding back, I remember my best friend and caving buddy teaching his girlfriend the finer arts of SRT.
This just happened to be on "Jingling Pot direct", he was at the top, me at the botttom amongst the sheeps bones and she was trying to pass the re-belay.  Anyhow, after about 5 minutes of expletives from her, and very nice words of encouragement from him, she duly arrived at the bottom. 
Trouble was, my mates girlfriend had a very quick temper, and wanted to punch the daylights out of him for all the aerial dancing she had just endured.  He was still at the top though, so I got 10 bells knocked out of me for being the nearest!
Happy times!
