Jarv's Rigging notes - Oct 09

Vrtnarija

• Laurel fully Derigged, metal + slings taken out
• Urinal series ropes pulled up
• Zimmer rope pulled up
• Bellow zimmer 'fully derigged' - JKP, gmail 8th Oct 09
• Rest of main pitch series left fully rigged?
• Any deviation krabs rescued if remembered
• Happy Monday derigged, ropes coiled at top (hopefully out of stream!). Believe I took metal work out.
• Pitch named Sue - rope pulled up + I believe I derigged the rebelay so you could kick loose boulders down on first trip
• Walk the line - far side pulled up + coiled, near side (climb) left fully rigged
• 2 minutes to midnight - rope pulled up to rebelay (+30m)
• Wet Hammer - metalwork derigged + taken out, as rock was oozing water + already rusting things, yet no drips?!
• Mirage canyon - metalwork taken out, believe I took rope back to bottom of dark tranquil. Dried to take sling deviation out, but was too cunning in original placement.
• Rest of Kangaroo --> Surface left fully rigged

Took all carabiners off deviations [if we remembered to]

• Unless otherwise noted, left fully rigged

M2

• Based on hearsay at Bivi,
  • Left fully rigged for the October Boys to sort out!
  • Believe was left (08-->09) with higher pitches rope pulled up, Silos and below fully rigged.
