Notes

Still recovering from surgery so this trip was more of a hike following turbary road past various cave entrances and a few possible digs. The first time we got underground was Rowton, where we freeclimbed the slippery in 1 spot first “pitch” to get into the shakehole. We then ventured into Rowton cave as far as the waterfall (normal clothes did not want to get wet). We exited and continued the walk passing several active digs near Yordas, looking down the upper pitch before going into the lower cave and noodling around as well as taking pictures of the waterfall.
