If you follow the normal route down the steep boulder slope below Bridge Hall you get to a window which you either crawl through, or traverse over, to reach the broad ledge at the head of the more usual (these days) 33 m descent.
I think now that there might be a resin anchor there? It's not an oft travelled place for me, I mostly go through Leakey's Way into Whitehall if I go through Bar Pot as Whitehall is quite nice.Measuring pitches is an interesting problem. Is it from the bolts or from where your feet are if you're at the top of the rope ;-)Why is the traditional route so out of use nowadays? Is the smaller distance more apt for a ladder climb, 3x30' ladders? but the more common route now a better hang easily reached with a rope traverse line?
The measurement was from the bolts.
Possibly the traditional 90' route in Bar Pot. I've only done it a couple of times in the last 10 years, so I wouldn't like to be more definitive.
