Notes

A return trip to survey 5411 and bolt the short pitch. My first time bolting and the rock was a bit dodgy, with a lot of it just peeling off the wall. All went well, there were two ways on at the bottom. The left way went up 3m through a tight squeeze with lots of loose stuff and choked after 10m. The right way went up a rift for 4m, with a possible way on spotted through a squeeze and lots of gardening required to make it less dodgy. Possibly a way straight on under all the rocks and boulders at the far end of the floor where it slopes down, but would likely require capping.
