Me, Pete, Mike and Alex “fingers” Ritchie headed to this fine pot, the original plan of looking at Lost Marbles was shelved (saving that delight for another day) in favour of a quick and easy descent of The Gully. At the bottom we went round the bypass, climbed the short pitch and headed along the 240ft Rift to Stink Pot. At the bottom we split up, me and Pete rigging the Ninety (complete with rancid stagnant pool at the top!) and Mike and Alex being dispatched down the Intestines. We swung off the Ninety to rejoin the other two so we all descended the final Intestines pitch together. Once down we headed out t’other way for a mini-exchange. Good trip as ever in this pot!

The fingers reference was for when I broke my little finger on Snowdon
