Route description for Strans Gill Pot
Strans Gill Pot is a pothole in Wharfedale that has been known about for several decades, but, as with many harder trips, was repopularised 20 years ago by Mike Cooper's Not for the Faint Hearted.
With this guide book now being hard to come by, we're pleased to add a route description to our website.
This new description was written for CNCC by a recent visitor and covers the route down to The Passage of Time. Despite not being the deepest point, this is considered the final destination for many visitors thanks to some excellent formations as the photos above show.
Strans Gill Pot certainly demands determination, a suitably slim frame, and very dry weather, but we are assured that The Passage of Time is worth the endurance.
The cave is currently partially CNCC-anchored, with work ongoing and a topo to be published in due course. For now, we've included rigging details in the description document.
Thank you to our volunteer who submitted the text. If there's a cave you're extremely familiar with which we don't have a description for, and you'd like to write one, we'd love to hear from you.
