[highlight]"This ain't gonna be a conga line. No more than two people on the rope at the same time, please. Soulfetter, you start us off. (You seem to be the most skilled at climbing, and I wouldn't want anybody else trying to catch me if I should slip.) Once we've all reached the bottom and re-grouped, you'll take the rear guard. Wally, you should follow Soulfetter and identify the correct passage please."[/highlight] Taking a couple of arrowheads from his quiver, Darius attempts to wedge the door tightly against its frame by banging the heads into the gap on the hinge-side of the door.Darius has thoughtfully provided multiple lengths of rope. The knotted, 100' length is secured to the column. The second and third lengths are to be used as safety harnesses, with anchor persons (I nominate Darius and Alarion), having taken an extra turn around the column, paying out length as the climbers go down the hole. That way, folks who slip won't just drop to the bottom, but are caught by the safety line. The last person will tie the second and third lengths together to form a 200' rope, allowing somebody at the bottom to serve as an anchor person. The safety rope can be recovered, but the knotted rope will be left in place unless somebody else has a better idea.</blockquote>
