Just for completeness…
Wanting somewhere to practice rigging and not sure of where to go I picked an old favourite of mine Tatham wife. The pitches complicated enough but not so deep to need lots of rope, if I was on my own. In the end I was joined by Shaman and Mike.
I rigged the first 4 pitches, down to the ramp. I had put a devi on the third pitch, but the others thought i got a bit too wet at the bottom, so re-rigged it as re-belay.
Once at the duck, me and Chris were both not feeling that great decided to try and traverse over the duck, but the with no rope protection it looked like a very hazardous and very exposed traverse. In the end I pushed through the duck and Shaman decided to wait. I joined Mike at the bottom of the pitch.
Chris and Mike de-rigged.
