Notes

Went down Dihedral with John Worden, replaced the rope protector on the first rebelay. The others got the winch down. Took our srt kits off and made our way to Glover’s Chamber (secret hidden chamber which is walled off to the public). Took some photos for two hours, got very very muddy. The formations are pristine. A bit of an awkward muddy climb back up but not too bad. Lay around chatting for a bit while we waited for the winch people to come back. Very painful crawling after three days of caving. Got winched back out.
