Anyone know where I can find the rigging information for Corky's Pot?

Descent 310 is out now.
....so prepare to see some of the best writing and photography from the caving world
Including: Into the Echo Chamber, Tim Allen reports on another magnificent Yorkshire Dales find by the Space Miners....and: The Great Geoff Yeadon, undoubtedly one of the greats of the caving world. Following his death at the age of 75, Geoff Crossley, Martin Grass and Mick Nunwick pay tribute to him.

Thanks for this MarkS. I reckon someone must have created a tackle list somewhere. I'll ask around....

I think you need at least 40metres for the first run of pitches.
I have a note that Prelim pitch needs ? 3 maillons to extend the y hhang on one limb (the right) to avoid rub.
Vindication...my note has 50m ...depends where you start i suppose. Going down there is a sling on a block wel out to the left on the 'lip' which makes a good deviation to keep you out of the firing line.

I ran out of rope using 40m for the entrance pitches but was able to down climb the last bit.
There are two deviations on the last pitch . The first is a chock stone behind a flake , the second towards the end off a big block on a ledge L . This eliminates some slight rope run a few meters off the ground and ensures you land well out of the firing line.
A short dynema sling larks footed to the hanger is a lighter option than three krabs or maillons where required..
