Headed underground at~10pm on 30/07, arrived at camp around half 11.
|
||||
Good nigts sleep, unike the following night.
|
||||
Packed rope, bolts etc before facilitating a quick start.
|
||||
Fixed up the rigging on [Apis medians>] on thee way down, arrived at thee first pitch which was left in the canyon by myself, Nathan & Max last year.
|
||||
Much wetter than last time so decided we needed and additional rebelay bolt way out to the left.
|
||||
Next [trap?] rigged then we were into new territory.
|
||||
Scuttled along the top of the traveres after trying to force a lower route and deciding it was too shit.
|
||||
revealed a big pitch, decided the scuttle needed to have a rope so began bolting along while Luke and Lea surveyed, luke returning to the [?] hang to get additional rope in the meantime.
|
||||
Popped down the pitch toward a ledge, wung out to avoid the spray of the pitch with a skyhook on a small lip.
|
||||
PING it was of and I swung across the shaft, stopped myself hitting the wall with my hand which then became unusable for the rest of the trip.
|
||||
<P>
|
||||
We then landed on a big ledge in a huge fault zone: massie piles of choss where everywhere [and?] tje wayer fucked off down into a small gap betwween some large boulders.
|
||||
We wandered around the space for a bit deliberating the best way to progress.
|
||||
There was a big aven dropping in again caryying water(over 5 active iinlets had been passed by now) and the possibility of a big traverse into space between the choss.
|
||||
In the end I decided we should follow the water and I shuffled along some boulders above the noisey streamway and below the hanging death.
|
||||
Placed some traverese bolts feeling quite tired after adrenaline from the hand had worn off.
|
||||
Used an ARSE hanger([big tick symbol]) then dropped down right into the flow ooof the water.
|
||||
Rigged a deviation while being pissed on then reached the floor of the drop where the inlet from the aven dropped in.
|
||||
Walked across the chamber feeling very cold, saw that there was another ~5m drop down to a flat floored streamway below.
|
||||
Much more noise from water behind us then in front which would imply that things got easier ahead, but I couldn't make the [?] get that wet ( even thoguh Lea was well equipped in her fluorescent jacket, looking like [crew?] at a festival).
|
||||
We [derigged?] back to camp (apart from the short pitches to get to the new traverse) and the next day did some surveying across the traverese(now named 'Delicate Steve'/I did Naat' [?] Nadia assumed I had stooped when I would not [intercept?] that I had).
|
||||
Later after inputting data saw that we were well on course to connect, <100m horizontal and <10m vertical from Razordance.
|
||||
Another year, hopefully [closer?].
|
||||
Called it 'Deutelle de Caca' after Lea said that the flaky calcite precipitates on the wall looked like the lace on a wedding dress
