<h4>High Hopes III</h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Beyond the traverse the passage goes up a steep incline. There is a slot in the floor, which presumably connects to
|
||||
the pitch but is too tight to enter. After around 10m the passage reaches a T-junction. To the left continues straight,
|
||||
passing a tube in the roof [<a href="qm.html#C2005-204-10" id="qC2005-204-10">C2005-204-10 C</a>], to emerge at a short climb down into a large aven chamber with a flat ice floor,
|
||||
at the bottom of the <a href="#gent">G entrance</a> pitches. To the right, there are two options: a narrow rift between
|
||||
boulders at floor level, or a climb up at 45° into a bedding plane, both emerging in a chamber with a high aven
|
||||
above, where the <a href="#hient">H and I entrances</a> drop in.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4><a id="gent">G entrance</a></h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The G entrance starts as a sloping phreatic tube of diameter around 3m; this is steep and the floor is loose, and a
|
||||
rope is required, which can be secured from a thread at the entrance and a bolt in the roof. The tube steepens
|
||||
gradually, and after a rebelay on the left-hand wall the floor turns to sloping ice at an angle of around 45°.
|
||||
Shortly below this a window leads into a parallel tube on the right, which could be descended via a natural rebelay from
|
||||
a column; this could bypass some of the loose ice which renders the 2005 route somewhat dangerous. Continuing down the
|
||||
pitch leads to a rebelay on the right and a short vertical section into a snow-floored chamber. Here there is a passage
|
||||
leading down to the left [<a href="qm.html#C2005-204-13" id="qC2005-204-13">C2005-204-13 B</a>], while the main route continues to the right. Here a large boulder wedged in the
|
||||
ceiling gives a traverse anchor (2 slings needed) to protect a traverse out to a rebelay bolt in the right-hand wall.
|
||||
Here the parallel tube enters from above, while below the pitch slopes down over snow to land in a large chamber with an
|
||||
ice floor. A pitch continues down [<a href="qm.html#C2005-204-15" id="qC2005-204-15">C2005-204-15 B</a>], and beyond this a passage (apparently the continuation of the entrance tube)
|
||||
continues down at 45° [<a href="qm.html#C2005-204-14" id="qC2005-204-14">C2005-204-14 A</a>]. On the other side of the chamber is a small pile of rocks concealing a too-tight tube
|
||||
in the wall on the right, a corresponding narrow tube on the left [<a href="qm.html#C2005-204-12" id="qC2005-204-12">C2005-204-12 C</a>], and a step up over a boulder into <a
|
||||
href="#highhopes">High Hopes</a>.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<h4><a id="hient">H & I entrances</a></h4>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The H entrance pitch is a wide circular shaft surrounded by bunde. A Y-hang from a sling around a flake and a spit
|
||||
allows descent to the first ledge at around 5m down, where the shaft pinches in to a narrow tube. A deviation at this
|
||||
point gives a free hang to the floor 15m further down. Here the parallel shaft of the I entrance pitch enters above,
|
||||
while a short climb down to one side (best to stay clipped in, as the climb is exposed and the holds are mainly soft
|
||||
snow) lands on a ledge of snow and the start of the next pitch.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Various descent routes are possible here, and none are very pleasant: the sloping gap between the snow plug and the
|
||||
wall is narrow, and when prusiking it is hard to avoid ploughing your body into the snow. <i>Descending straight down
|
||||
from the bolt leads to a narrow tube, which gradually levels out and ends at a snow blockage.</i> Descending to the left
|
||||
leads to a branch passage, where a slope of smooth clear ice leads down to a flat ice-pan, and a narrow window in the
|
||||
right-hand wall leads to a second similar ice-pan. To the right of these a passage leads upwards steeply to a blockage
|
||||
of loose cobbles. The way on is to take the left-hand route to the ledge at the beginning of the passage, then swing to
|
||||
the right at this point, past a prominent ice column. This leads to an arch in the wall and an 8m sloping pitch. This
|
||||
ends at a rock floor, and ducking under a window leads to a platform overlooking a chamber, with an aven above.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The 7m descent to the floor is rigged from a backup before the window, a pitch-head bolt on the right, and an
|
||||
immediate rebelay in the wall below the lip. The chamber is floored with ice interspersed with a few large boulders; on
