Rope lost in Swinsto

[jbown]

Hi Everyone,

On a rather wet pull-through down Swinsto yesterday (Saturday 30/11/24) we had to leave a rope which just wouldn't pull down the top part of Split pitch. Too much water to try to retrieve.

It's a 40m yellow Beal Spelenium Gold 9.5mm. Length marked at both ends (black on white tape) and steel krab in the middle. If anyone comes across it and is able to take it through and out with them, please let me know. Could you drop it off at Inglesport if possible - they'll put it aside until I'm next there.

Thanks,
John

Hi John,
We retrieved it on our way through today. Will dry it out for you and get it to Inglesport next weekend.

Hi,

That's absolutely fabulous - thank you! It should be clean by now at least...
I'll let Inglesport know and will arrange to pick it up the following week. Please let me know if you aren't able to drop it off for some reason.

Thanks again!

No problem!

When you retrieved the rope, were you able to see why it jammed?

 

[JHartford]

It was well twisted up! Not sure if that would have been caused by the force of the water or from using the wide y-hang on opposite walls. I think this can sometimes cause ropes to twist when pulling through.

Rope and krab now safely collected. Thanks.
