Link Pot Rigging

[Cave Mapper]

Two questions:

1. Are the Serendipity pitches in Link Pot now eco-bolted? And if so, is the bolted route any less weather dependent than previously? Is there a rigging guide on the web anywhere (with or without eco-bolts)?

2. According to the CNCC web site, Link Pot is eco-bolted and is included in the volume 2 rigging guide. It's not in my copy, so is there a new version (I have version 1)? If there is, then can we have a downloadable supplement for Link Pot, like those that are available for Rowten, Sunset and Jingling. I don't want to buy a whole new book every time a new cave gets bolted.

or a freely downloadable handbook with all the rigging guides and access notes like the DCA?

It has not, but there are fixed hangers (Petzl P38s maybe?) where necessary. Definitely not one for wet weather.

The entrance pitch is. There are two anchors on the same wall, visible from the surface. No doubt the rope length is in NFTFH, but 25m at a guess.

The first pitch (can potentially be avoided via a climb) can be rigged with a sling and in-situ bolt. The main pitch is rigged with Petzls (no idea what kind), the last small drop requires hangers (unless it as changed since I last went, couple of years back).
Can't really see how it could be improved - even traversing out on the main pitch and deviating/rebelay, as Damian says; it's still not a good choice in the wet!

Not online that I'm aware of but one of the RRCPC newsletters had a rigging guide, can't recall which one though, few years back, perhaps?
