Hematoma-DeuceTough walk / props to finishers!
We bailed after south thunder. I think you need to be quite fit to do this route with the hours of light available in september.
In case it's useful to anyone in the future:
Good monsoon year, but dry approx 2 weeks and there was plenty of water in coal pit up to 8k. I do not know how this would look in a dry summer.
main fixed rope at the crux of coalpit is quite sun faded and could prob be replaced at some point if anyone is feeling like doing a good deed-maybe 25 ft of 5 mil.
