Large Pot

Permanent resin anchors have been placed (some time ago) throughout Large pot Colossus route although the Red Herring series remains traditionally bolted using spits. Additionally, the roipes which had been left in place have now all been removed so you will have to struggle through the entrance series will your own gear!
Suggested rigging guides as follows (assuming that you tie direct into the first anchor);
Pitch 1 - 18m rope 2 MR's 1 long sling
Pitch 2 - 22m rope 4 MR's plus 1 karabiner for deviation (cord currently in place)
Pitch 3 - 15m rope 3 MR's
(Pitch 2 and 3 can be combined using a 40m rope plus 1 extra MR)
Colossus - 60m rope 3MR's 1 long sling for deviation

Red Herring Series
Pitch 4 - 26m rope
Pitch 5 - 10m rope
(pitch 4 & 5 can be combined using a 40m rope)
Pitch 6 & 7 - 22m rope
Pitch 8 - 5m rope
Pitch 9 - 12m rope
Pitch 10, 11 & 12 - 30m rope

You will also approximately 12 hangers, 6 slings and 1 deviation sling. The above are what I have used, alternative methods of rigging may be found but the details are a good starting point.
