The local BMC began looking into alternative descent routes after a(nother) fatality earlier this year. Someone in the know sent me the following:
"The top of the abseil is above the gully which ends at the right hand end of the red line in the rock fall picture. There is a large pinnacle of rock at the top of this gully which is the anchor point. At the moment this is a rope anchor but should be replaced at some point with a steel cable."
