| Loose belay stakes, Nov 1998 | |
| Report in from Nigel Ball | The iron belay stake at the top of the North Gully was found to be in very poor condition having almost rusted through and with a very light push it stapped off. At the moment there is no belay there that is safe. Nigel also reports that the way through to the Main Chamber from the base of the Entrance Shaft has deteriorated due to movement of the choke, it was tight and only just passable. |
