<p>Adam Cooper starting a ladder descent of a newly discovered shaft on the
|
||
|
|
plateau in 1993. The ladder was necessary because, as the name "Lost Rucksack
|
||
|
|
Hole" suggests, he had just dropped his rucksack containing the rope into the
|
||
|
|
shaft in a careless moment. Typical of prospecting on the plateau is the fact
|
||
|
|
that no-one could find the shaft again in 1993. It was given number <a
|
||
|
|
href="../../200.htm">CUCC93-01</a>, and re-found in 1995, but
|
||
|
|
no gear was to hand, so it remained unexplored beyond this surface shaft
|
||
|
|
until 1998, when it was finally bottomed in three trips, numbered 1623/200,
|
||
|
|
and very definitely fixed by GPS and surface survey and marked with a metal
|
||
|
|
tag. We won't be losing that one again, at least !
