Down to Pitstop + started with the RH lead (pitstop 2) lead at the start.
|
||||
Over the big boulder quickly led to a big pitch which we assumed was Mongol Rally though
|
||||
George disagreed so it would be worth trying to find out where it went.
|
||||
Next went left at the water inlet then left at the T-junction + surveyed some easy, long legs
|
||||
(pitstop 3) which ended in a drafting pitch which is a good lead.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Third we went to the N end of Pitstop (pitstop_4) & it turned out you didn't need
|

to rig it as a pitch, you could crawl down on the right.
|
||||
This led to a drippy chamber with avens. The only lead was the pitch on the left, drafting

but smalland the sound of water. Finally I put in 3 bolts for the traverse over the

far side of Pitstop whilst Nadia set off out.

continued to the bottom of Mongol Rally + George put a couple more bolts in the Floodland pitch

derigged and we went down Grand Prix past Littleboy to the "à cheval" ridge

and dropped Suction Cup pitch (rigging topo on <a href="#mr-rig3">previous page</a>).
|

This ledto a rather confusing slopy area which we clambered up steeply until it ended in an aven.
|

|

We lost George for some stressful minutes - he'd dropped down a steep, muddy phreatic tube +

struggled to return. We then packed up + left the 53m rope + some hangers as own own bags

Dickon and I went down Homecoming to the start of the Second Coming (after the airy Gromit pitch) and did a 2 bolt climb into a small lead that turned out to be a bit of phreatic passage heading generally east. ~200m of survey (including a short 15m pitch and a bit of clambering about) has resulted in a new area of the cave (dubbed 'Propane Nightmares') breaking away from the main passages. Most of this section was straightforward and linear, though an area centered around a surprise sump has a maze of cutarounds. Onward we have left one notable lead in one passage climbing upward, and another pair of leads at the end of another leg, with a good lead continuing on top at phreatic passage, and another lead dropping down a rift.

Crossley did some further rigging on the entrance series as well. I showed the others the leads Dickon and I had found to spread the knowledge for future pushing trips. Cold temperatures and misplaced nail varnish limited surveying to one of the cutarounds.

Back down the hill to basecamp. Jon has arrived suddenly to Expo, and discussing his efforts last year at Homecoming with Dickon and myself has only increased our confusion about the large drafty leads deep in the Second Coming. Another trip shall resolve this.

I went into Homecoming with Jon, who on a whim returned to the expedition, to sort out some confusion at the far pushing front where Andrew and I had gone. As it turns out, he and Haydon had in fact pushed, surveyed, and rigged the 'long slippery rift in need of rigging' I had mentioned, but at ceiling level rather than where Andrew and I had gone. Misunderstandings had led us to believe that this traverse was left in place when it was in fact de-rigged last expo, and so Jon and I set out rigging the traverse on the existing bolts. We had just enough rope and I was able to stretch the hangars/maillons just enough to reach the end of the traverse, where another pitch down will access this pushing front. This whole area was named the Lizard King, and we eagerly await the data from last year to better illuminate this front.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
At the same time, Dickon went down Homecoming with Reuben and Aileen to push Propane Nightmares. They went on the upper level phreatic lead, which continued horizontally and then dropped into downward pitches of phreatic passage, in need of more rope to continue pushing.

|
||||
<p><b>Sat Jul 20 </b>
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
As I had not done any prospecting this expo and Jon wanted to feel warmth again, we decided to head west to prospect on the plateau beyond Homecoming. Much bunder bashing and karst scrambling was done, and many chocked holes and snow plugs were clambered down into. Amongst all of this though, we found two quite promising prospects in need of dropping. Jon has photos and a more clear understanding of location (as he logged them on the GPS), but as he is still up the plateau I will describe them in brief.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Banana Hole is a deep pit in a large expanse of sloping limestone pavement up a hill. The bottom is beyond what can be seen with a caving light in day time, but dropping rocks gives roughly 4 seconds of free fall, before ricocheting further down and unknown amount.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The Boop-Boo-Da-Boop-Da-Boop [exact spelling pending confirmation] complex is an area of multiple very large holes surrounding a small flat expanse of karst, half surrounded by cliffs. Two of the entrances are extremely appealing, with one a few meters wide and unknown depth (again, the rocks take long to go down, a disto would've been helpful), and another similarly wide and quite deep and clearly going diagonally into the hillside, reducing likelihood of being choked.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
Both of these leads really require photos to better explain (and someone with more awareness to convey their geography) but represent very exciting prospects in a fairly untouched region of the plateau.
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
A brief foray into Happy Butterfly found a Y-hang with a dangling hangar, and we could not locate the hilti to screw it back into, and so we turned back around to avoid descenting a one-bolt-wonder.
