Notes

This is a huge open hole with a bridge across, you can abseil down all 110m but instead, we stepped off on a ledge at about -60m and did the alternative shafts, which were much smaller but also quite tight in places. Events of note: Ran out of rope on one pitch so I had to tie in my green rope. Whilst rigging another pitch I accidentally knocked my hand jammer into my face cutting my nose. Once we got to the bottom of the shaft we had a little look at the continuing passage before turning around and heading out.
