-Obedient as we are, we agreed to the task and decided to make it a rigging learning expereince as -well. -
-As we were the first people going to Balkonhöhle we had to add refelctors to the path, which we found -by using the GPX track from essentials. -
-At the entrance of the cave, I rigged the handline onto the balcony. We then got changed and prepared -to go underground. As it was supposed to be learning experience, Sieds and Marie had priority on the -rigging, supervised by Lara and me. -
-As Sieds was geared up first, I took him to rig the first pitch. Midaway down the entrance series, -Marie took over. She got to rig the large drippy pitch, which I was a bit jealous of. -
-Around this time, Lara was getting a bit worried because of the storm that was forecast and the -perceived increase in drip. For the sake of expediency, I rigged the last bit. At the bottom, we -decided that it would be irresponsible to keep going and rig the traverse we were meant to. -
-So we slowly made our way out of the cave, which wasn't very far, since we rigged a total a of 139m -of rope. -
-The walk accross the plateau back to top camp was uneventful, except for the storm that was rapidly -approaching. Luckily we made it back to camp 5 minutes before it started pouring. -

We were tasked by Antony to rig the entrance series of Balkonhöhle so that he could go and rig Mongol Rally (presumably a more interesting rig).
