Hi all, quick note on the two VF.
Snake canyon has damage to the 4th zip line(thimble on the far end) plus it looks like someone has removed nuts on the following spans of wire all the way to the horizontal section. Around 5 nuts. Please be aware of this, someone had put the hangers on and as you can imagine my surprise when the wire came off the next 4 bolts and the slack came in! I want to get there asap and fix it but for now that final section is not good.
More concerning is western isle, as im sure your awae the cave section is still broken but we have since been using the first section. The other day one of the bolts snapped on us, it seems the re bar has corroded, I am still yet to do a full inspection but i am expecting more bolts to be of similar condition. I will post any further up dates.
Be safe
