Today some of the members of the caving club I am a member of were doing some Single Rope Technique (SRT) training with ISCA Outdoor in preperation for our trip up to Yorkshire in a few weeks time.  SRT is where you go up and down vertical ropes to enable access to cave systems which involve large changes in height such as Gaping Gill and Allum pot as shown in my portfolio.

As I had to drive them there I decided to stick around and take some pictures.  Though unfortunatly due to a lack of club SRT kit one of my friends had to borrow my harness and metalwork which meant that I had to stay with my two feet firmly on the ground which made positioning myself fairly difficult as they were going up a rockface.  I am hoping to rectify this next week and take some pictures while I am hanging on a rope!
