View Full Version : Devil's main line needs repair

The 1st 600 feet of gold line in Devil's needs help, i.e. replacement (there are several places where the line is very frayed). The usual line replacement dude for this cave is on strike. I am posting this to give the topic a kick in the butt so that the parties can work out their differences. Differences, in cave diving politics? Imagine that :roll:
If nothing gets done by a couple of weeks from now I'll just replace it with #18 line. At least that way people won't be as apt to use the line as a means to pull and glide.

Jordan,
I'm glad you aren't the only one that has noticed that. My understanding is that the cord that is in there is P-Cord, not the normal gold line. That's is why is is wearing out very fast.

What are you thiking?
Ask Larry, Debra, Mike, Ralph, see who has some gold line.

Not a good joke. :roll:
Try adding a :twisted: when making statements like that. Besides, sounds like you just volunteered bud. 8)
Yup. I'm very sure that you just volunteered. (Not a joke).

And why the heck wasn't it a good joke, Angie? At least I was willing to put in new line. Moreover, I didn't say that I was going to do it when there were divers in the system, or anything....now that would warrant a :twisted: Ya know, the line used to start right up by the keyhole. I could change it back to the way it was. You are an easy one to piss off, aren't you? I would like to volunteer but I promised that I wouldn't. Sorry

What are you talking about???! Pissed??? Not. I thought your volunteering was a good thing, even if not intentional. :lol:
Wow.......sorry to say that you took that WHOLE thing wrong. Chill bud. 8)
Peace.....peace......I come in peace.......

ok ok I'm chilled.
Phew, I needed someone to flat-out tell me to chill. Thanks! I should be in much better spirits after my first dive at Madison Blue this afternoon. See y'all later - if you want I'll let you know how my first dive there goes.
Ciao

Oh yeah.....I can appreciate that. Sometimes ya just gotta dive. :-D
I'll go replace it with some of my neon yellow line... Maybe then someone may notice there was a "change".... Aww hell, who am I kidding? No one looks at the line in that cave anymore... I bet you could rip out the first 400ft and no one but a few (myself included) would notice...
Don't be so sure Joe.
I can think of hundreds that would notice, especially since it is a training cave. Just because some people don't run a reel does not mean that they don't look at the line.

That is true: it had a few threads on last sunday in keyhole. I think that people indeed use it as a primary bouyancy and speed control, or maybe when classes are doing drills between Lips and Keyhole put too much load on line.
i also wanted to ask what does the unnamed/unmarked cookie mean between Junction room and Hill400 jump?
Somebody who was messing up with my reel while i was behind the jump better not to do it again (if it wasn't the JL's joke than you made me really dissappointed).
The bigfoot imprint and somebody's name written recently in the middle of the Expressway on a clay bunk i think don't need any of my comments. i wish whoever did that will loose his balls soon. Please don't make NY subway from Ginnie's cave and don't come here again.
