βeta: Can the next party up please take a couple metres of tat. The abseil is in a bad state and I used the only tat I had to equalise the 2 old pegs so we could ab off the back into the gully. The extension to abseil back down Snakes Alive is a single strand of very old dyneema and will get someone killed. 4 or 5 metres will do because it wants to go around the big block.
