Oxlow handline

[george]

Hi, I just wanted to check with the locals if there is a handline in place above the forth pitch in Oxlow? I think the passage is called West Swirl Passage.
We're planning a trip there on Sunday.
Thanks in advance.

Should be. I think it was re-rigged with rethreaded knots again and some cable ties.
I think the Cable ties were to try and dissuade enthusiastic through-trippers from derigging the rethreaded knots (assuming their team had rigged it).

No ones reported missing ropes.

Great, thanks.

I love a cable tie in any rigging!

West Swirl passage is rigged with a blue handline, or it was a month ago

It was still there today - and seems in reasonable condition.
