Seathwaite Wad mine rope warning

[Max bowen]

For anyone thinking of doing the through trip the rope on the final pitch down into Gilbert’s level is coreshot. We did it on Saturday and isolated it with an alpine butterfly but COMRU have since put a post up about it.

Any idea why it has failed? is it rubbing?

It’s where the waterfall is so I think the water has caused it to rub on the deviation over time.

The ropes were removed over the weekend. I am not aware of any plans to replace them.
