<p>Dave Loeffler in Sirens Passage, the first horizontal passage one encounters
|
||
|
|
when one enters the Underworld after the six pitches of the Gaffered to the
|
||
|
|
Walls series. Notice the mud floor, which consists of a very thin dark layer
|
||
|
|
covering a thicker band of light brown clay; it is a conservationist's
|
||
|
|
nightmare, impossible to walk across without destroying. The inevitable
|
||
|
|
accumulation of mud on one's gear also renders the prusik out very interesting
|
||
|
|
as the rope gradually turns into a cylindrical stick of mud!</p>
