Just seen this on UK caving

C9C Completed the CRTT extreme and normal routes this weekend.
Both ropes on the original 2 pitches have been replaced as both had wear with isolation knots.
The second traverse on the extreme route (across the air shaft) had significant damage to the outer sheath. Unfortunately we didn’t have any spare rope to replace this. It is still passable with care.
The boat is currently operational on a to me to you system, take care when using it, and if you are the last party to cross, do not use the pulley to bring the boat back to you, as when you journey across there is a couple knots that will get stuck in the pulley. Instead pull the rope straight up.
Additional to this, some lowlife has removed the hanger from the sole expansion bolt on the bolt climb out of the boat.
At the time the bolter ran out of resin bolts hence the expansion. I shall endeavour to return again soon with some shiny new bolts to replace this.
In the meantime it should still be doable, just a tad more tricky
Boat is stuck on Rhosydd side. Posted on uk caving 9/5/23
No rope at first pitch on the traditional route. Take your own
