Notes

Soon left the others as I took my 55m? Rope to rig a pitch not far from the main pitch, William accompanied me for this one. This drop used a 10m for a tie in and almost all of the 55m rope for the Y-hang and drop, meaning it must be atleast 50m drop. We tried to find our way back to the others but could not, and ended up doing all the small bits of SRT towards the lakes instead, excellent passages all huge canyons/decorated walking passages, both me and William loved it. JP and the rest did the tourist side of the cave doing all the excellent formations I had seen last year.
