Win 100m Spanset Platinum 9mm!!

Well...

I'm from Costa Rica and my club is Grupo Espeleol?gico Anthros (GEA) "Anthros Speleo Group" and we have to many Proyects to rig caves.
One of these is re-rig the Trampa Cave in Barra Honda National Park, I'll donate it... One opportunity like this shouldn't to be wasted!
 
Obviously the big pitch that must be just round the corner of the current dig that's bound to go in the next trip or two...
 
Assuming I'm permitted an entry that has already been mentioned before.... I'd take 100m of rope up to Eldon Hole. Eldon is a brilliant place, 4 different quality SRT descents within paces of each other. Great for SRT fitness, rigging practice and supervising others.
 
I'd rig every pitch I could find, and enjoy everyone! Or rather use it to teach someone else to rig and have them rig them all  ;)
 
I would persuade the americans that I would donate 100 metres of this superb rope for rigging and a trip in Lechuguilla Cave
 
I'd cut it into short lengths and recreate the Indiana Jones scene 'Why did it have to be snakes'...
 
I'd cut this beautiful rope into twenty x 5m hand lines so that I could un-necessarily hand line the rope climb in Prid for freshers trips for the rest of my life.

/s
 
I would rig the entrance pitch of Fernhill Cave and make a nice video of me descending safely on Spanset Platinum.
 
or if the American where not amiable to my suggestion of free rope for lechuguilla, maybe I would go on bended hands and knees to spanset and plead for another 510m so I could go and rig Vrtoglavica Cave, obviously being a telly tubby I would look over the edge and leave it to someone else to abseil
 
The "Heinous Shaft" in Sara, Eastern Massif, Picos de Europa.  The 100m should cover the last 88m section of the 180m pitch.

In fact, if a winner, will make the expedition prove it this coming summer......
 
I would rig the entrance to the Malham Cove mastercave which will be discovered this year, I expect it to be a descent of around 80 metres  of cascading waterfalls similar in style to Ireby fell cavern, followed by a 180 metre version of Derbyshires Titan (but pure white and more pretty) with ample room for a Dive base so the Malham Divers can Av'a'Go from both ends :-)
 
I don't know if anyone's seen the film 50 shades of grey but I feel I could do a much better job, it just requires ALOT more rope...
 
should be about right for the Gibets brow to Lamb Leer through trip once we make the connection!
 
With 100m of rope I would rig the free hang version of the Sima Cacao entrance shaft near Villaluenga del Rosario in Andalucia. A lovely blind shaft. The actual way on is 60m or so down it. From the free-hang it requires a pendulum. Much fun.
