<p>Anytime I give directions, it is either from a plan view perspective with the entrance of the cave at the bottom, as shown in the diagram below, or just a view from the entrance (generally, from the entrance)</p>

<p>I personally believe that <b>the supporting lines should be rigged first, before the corners are fastened.</b> This is the way that top camp is rigged, and although I was not there for actually rigging this tarp, it makes sense to me.</p>

|
||||
<p>Another attachment point may be added to pull the top edge of this tarp farther towards the back of the cave, however this should really be done once tarp 3 is rigged as this tarp will determine where the top edge of tarp 1 needs to be - more on this at the end of the <a href=#tarp3>tarp 3 section</a></p>

<p>The tarp is set up on the left-hand side of the camp, with slack thin blue string (and rocks in the same fashion as above) attaching the bottom corners and top left corner to the ceiling, and thin blue string attaching the tarp to a rope, which is then in turn attached to a bolted anchor on the far right side of the camp.</p>

|

<p>The result of the slack lines on the bottom corners should hopefully be a nice v-shape, from which water can be collected via a funnel, but more about this in <a href=#water>water</a></p>

<p>The placement of this tarp is not too important for your own dryness, but for optimum water catchment I would suggest that the top left corner is practically touching the bolt, as this way it is directly beneath the incoming streams</p>

<p>Tarp 3 was set up by Adam Aldridge and myself upon arriving at a Garlic Camp with significantly less snow than when it had initally been set up - with the current set up of only two tarps, a significant drip falls between the two, rendering much of the now available kitchen space still unusable during and after periods of rainfall</p>

<p>A nice little gear rack rope was put up in the dry spot to the left of the entrance using a natural anchor for the bottom attachment point. Unfortunately the area you must cross to get to this rack can get quite muddy and slippy in the rain, so perhaps some cleverly placed stones could be implemented to help mitigate the risk of a muddy-arse</p>

<p>Under the main sleeping tarp (tarp 1) there is potentially place for up to 6 beds, if you're comfortable with your campmates. However, there is definitely room for expansion of the lower platform on which the kitchen currently resides, should the snow allow, to possibly create space for another one or two sleeping spaces - this is the perfect acitivty on a rainy day when hiking to a cave entrance doesn't seem quite so appealing as it did yesterday</p>

<p>Whilst on the topic of sleeping places, "milarepa's hideout" (the hole opposite and above Garlic, on the other side of the bowl) is ripe for expansion, in much the same fashion as the ditch to the left of topcamp. It is currently quite drippy, and probably quite draughty too, though perfectly good enough for Adam Aldridge in a survival bag, so with a proper setup it could probably work for the average caver.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Unfortunately the path leading to the hole and out of the bowl from Garlic is slightly treacherous in places, and Nadia and I both believe that it would definitely be a good idea to attempt to improve this somewhat before an unwary wanderer succumbs to an early demise during a nightly grike visit</p>

<h2 id=grike>The grike</h2>
|
||||
<p>Speaking of the grike, should you feel the urge, the path to it is left of the lone tree (if you're looking at the northerly ridge towards the Garlic Cave bowl). The path is cairned so just follow those, and hopefully you find it in good time. Unlike topcamp, we don't have such luxuries as a fully functioning toilet seat so you will have to carry it out as nature intended - with a deep squat. Just make sure not to fall in.</p>
