P5 features in 'Not For The Faint Hearted'. There is a full description of the route and rigging info. Ropes needed are 10m, 10m, 12m and 10m for a handline at Life Boulevard. Looks like it can be rigged with 2 bolts and 2 slings plus naturals.
I've not done this cave myself, but other cave descriptions in NFTFH are incredibly accurate and easy to use.
Happy caving

As no one with more information than me has replied, I'll offer my two pennies worth having gone down in later 2006. I seem to remember a couple of short pitches (5 metres each?), and a final 22 metre pitch in Pinnacle Chamber. It's a short cave, but interesting, and the last pitch is very impressive. It was rigged at the time, and I was by myself, so my memory is a bit hazy.

Just as a word of warning to anyone planning in doing this trip, the traverse line at the top of the Pinnacle Hall pitch starts very close to the pitch, so when you see the first bolt, one step futher and you a speeding downwards very fast.
It is a very interesting place to look round, not somewhere I thought I would ever get to before we dug it open. The grand piano is impressive in the roof once down the pitches, there doesn't seem to be anything holding it in place.
