Notes

We finally got here, but boy did this day turn out to be disaster! The first pitch head was easy, just put a short sling on for the way out. The passage after that is gnarly and sharp but not too bad. Then after the 2nd pitch, hand-line for bags only really. It got hard. The Fatometer proved too tight for me, I could not move forward, so rather than try and push even further and get stuck I tried to reverse. This took 10 minutes! Eventually I extracted myself and we exited the cave, only for me to realise that not only had I accidentally took my car key underground, it had also fallen out of my pocket. This time it was not to be found so Chris had to drive me back home while I waited for John, this caused much perlarva on Monday with a cycle ride to meet the guy who magically makes car keys.
