<p>
We set off after a bit of faff, which wasn’t helped by the large number of people staying at top camp (everyone from basecamp bar a couple!). We suited up at the entrance, raced to the bottom of the two entrance pitches and headed to the horizontal passage leading on from Vertigo View. The plan of action was to split into 2 groups, Me, Tom B and Ella would survey the horizontal section whilst Ned bolted a traverse line to investigate a window in the far wall of the pitch which lead off the same horizontal section. We sprang into action, and like clockwork steady progress was made, shouting commands at each other like some sort of military drill,
<br>
<i>“Ready to move?”</i>
<b>“Ready to move?”</b>
<br>
<b>“LRUDS and splays please!”</b>
<br>
<b>“Next station please”</b>
<br>
and so on. The passage continued, sloping up, sloping down and even featuring some fine popcorn wall formations and stals. Eventually we clambered into a small bouldery chamber with a passage leading left and a climb down into a wider chamber on the right. We followed right, and to our horror the wider chamber was in fact the same chamber we had dumped our bags before setting off surveying. Ah well, at least we could see how inaccurate our surveying had been by doing a loop closure, which unexpectedly was only about 0.4m, not bad for such a large loop!
<p>
We ate some chokolade, flapjacks, and we were soon off surveying again. This time we followed the left passage in the previous chamber. More horizontal crawling passage, which unfortunately choked out with little QMs, apart from a squeeze at some point on the way in located on the right hand side which ended in a grim and tight looking pitch.
