After what became a short trip to Eldon Hole this weekend, we have realised that some things that seem very self explanatory are not....
basically when it came to rigging the pull through we hit a small snag, we couldn't get the rope through the bolt at the top, after countless attempts, different knots and threading attempts we had no choice but to give up.
Ive got this far having never had to rig a pull through, but I don't want to spend the rest of my days avoiding any cave that has one so can anyone explain what we were doing wrong or is there some sort of technique to getting the rope through, what does the bolt at the top even look like, clearly its not going to be a p hanger, but is it big enough to get a knot through it?
EDIT: I have of course consulted Google and he seems to have no idea
