Simpson's Pot (West Kingsdale)
Issued: 19 January 2017
Valley Entrance must be pre-rigged to enable exit for pull-through trips. Always take several ropes for pull-through trips in the event that some get stuck which could risk stranding between pitches.
Frequent rescues due to pull-through trips abseiling into The Pit (sometimes known as Bob's Pit). Ensure appropriate advanced research and check onward route before pulling rope through if in any doubt.
