Tatham Wife Rockfall

[adep]

I have heard that there has been a rockfall above the second pitch in Tatham wife with viseble rock scars down the pitch and a substantial amount of rock hanging above, does anyone know anything about this??, i havent seen it myself

Nope, I only know of the collapse at the end of North branch inlet, when it fell on my mate.

Around 10 years ago, looking up at the roof of the passage above the second pitch and the passage beyond, it looked then like a boulder roof of uninspiring stability, possibly particularly to people who had previously been in the meaningful-sized chamber above it.

There were certainly quite a few scars on the second pitch around then, resulting from debris from a gardened climb below the first pitch being chucked down the second for safety.
Given how active it is, I wouldn't have expected those scars to stay visible until now, but I could be quite wrong on that score, and I suppose some away from running water might have lasted a while.
