There is still plenty of stuff we didn't carry out. We left the mats and seat.

We left the water at the top of pitch one, like you said, it probably will be helpful for someone on a hot summer's day.

We fixed up to where the route splits on the saturday. We were using a 55m-ish dynamic, and we here hauling with a 50m static. I think you need a 60 to reach from big grassy to under the roof.
The tethered line back to the belayed from the haul bag, was the lower-out line, it was about 20m of static, which we found on the abseil in. We also had a 12m 8.5m rope to lower-out the pig with, but after we found the the static it stayed in the bag.
We only used the lower-out on the roof, and the next pitch.

We took 9.5 litres between us I think. We had half a litre left when we topped out.
We both had synthetic bags (mine is a +5 degree summer bag), and bivi bags, and therma-rests.
We both took a set of thermals, fleece, and rain jackets, aswell as the usual headtorches, suncream, small first-aid kit, etc. Book, Fridays Crossword.
We also had a stove and lots of food.

Yep, the haul bag is easy to sit on when you've got so much stuff. We also had a belay seat,( hammock style), but I didn't use it much.

I'd probably take the same stuff again, but in the middle of summer I'd have more water, and maybe not bother with the stove. But I do love my coffee..
