Just a quick query...Is the entrance shaft P-bolted all the way down? The rigging topo seems to imply some of the rebelays need spits?
Thanks
Thanks

Enjoy

On the way down - one suggestion (that ive used in narrow slots before) is to put your stop on your short cows tail - so it sits at about head level - you can still reach the handle and control your descent with your braking hand - its just that there is more room to manouver

Will take all that advice on board...Stop on short cows tail on the way down, a "clean" central maillon, use Foot Jammer and make sure I head for the widest part on the way up...
If i'm still posting Thursday we'll know it didn't go too badly
