All 3 of the ropes today ended up as non useable cables.
Andy T: "shall I take the rope into the shower?"
Di: "yes" [thinking that he meant he would take the rope into the shower room to drape over the shower and dry]
Sometime later this evening: Andy T actually took the rope into the shower - literally.
Even later this evening: Andy T spent some time running prussik over soaked rope in a last minute attempt to dry soaked rope.
George is absolutely horrified that Di never bought any crisps for this evening, but Di kindly reminded George that the crisps were not on the list.
Oh, the photos? Having made non technical ice thread, Graeme then tested to destruction to find that even chipping the thread down to the thickness of the rope, it still wouldn't break.
