Notes

This cave eats rope, we packed 150m in total for this place, despite it only having 4/5 pitches. We entered the dig with Don rigging, took forever to find the drilled thread, can do with some yellow paint or something, we then got to the bottom of the hole and found no way on, the way on was 6m up the second pitch into the rift. After a short pitch/climb, I took over rigging and began down a steep boulderslope over a deep hole, it was very airy rigging. I then dropped down a 35m? Shaft. My 45m rope barely reached the floor (unless I rigged the drop with the 35m rope). The passage after a small pitch (3m) requiring 25m for some reason, comes out near the duck leading to collossos and as I was on my own only explored a little bit taking photos (I had been there before) before heading out the way I came.
