Do the Direct in Alum and it's just a rebelay just over the lip and then freehang to the bottom. It's far more scary than a big underground pitch because you can see how far down it is.


Seconded - Alum is VERY atmospheric. Especially when the stream is in full spate. IP: 82.33.244.186

If you want to do GG wait till there is little water, rig it from Jib Tunnel , straight drop all the way to the bottom 109m, or you can pick up the deviations and do Dihedral. Alternatively try Long Kin West 100m shaft then a 65m shaft with little or no messing about in tunnels!
