Notes

We got as far as the ramp through Hydrothermia my first sample of it. Rick turned back part way along and me and Dunc tackled the ramp, the first and only time I have ever got up it, every other time it had been too slippery. This time we managed it, I seemed to recall using a sharpened rock as an impromptu ice-axe. Great formations at the top, but no camera!
