Notes

I rigged the gully, skipped the first climb due to rope length. That got us down to the second last drop and Rob rigged the very atmospheric near waterfall pitch with 4 or 5 re-belays around the corner making a fun descent. We then took the bypass to pitch 3 awkward climbs and a sketchy traverse over 15m deep pitch. We left the cave and were treated to an excellent show of the northern lights.
