Long sections of strenuous, narrow passage will push some cavers close
to their physical and psychological limits.

From Ian Cummins (WRPC) - 9/6/08
Simon and I completed a 9 hour return trip to Gormenghast recently. We couldn't find any useful spits on the Second Pitch (lower pitch head), but the chockstone is good and there is a stud in the left wall with a washer and nut. It needs a wire or 5 mm rope or a large-hole hanger as I don't think a standard one will fit. There are abandoned ropes on all pitches after The Crux, but we fixed our own because the in situ ropes look lethal and this is the last place you want to have an accident. Quaking Pot needs some 'keenies' to do a cave clear up.
From Mike Cooper (RRCPC/CPC) - 17/8/09
A group of cavers from RRCPC, CPC, ULSA and WRPC have recently completed a long overdue clean-up of Quaking Pot. All the abandoned digging equipment (near Gormenghast) has been removed together with a large number of abandoned pitch ropes and handlines. There are no in situ pitch ropes or handlines left in the cave and future visitors should install (and remove) their own ropes en-route.
