<p>Wassil was excited to finally make some progress on 2nd coming, so
we walked over to Homecoming from top camp with a nice new rope to
have a serious rigging attempt.</p>
<p>
<p>Met Charlotte's group at the entrance and had an awkward
conversation about rope as they were short, but we wanted to use what
we'd carried over to rig down so couldn't really spare any.</p>
<p>
<p>In fact on packing we realised that we could spare about 40m, but
the others had gone. Sent quick-change Sieds down to try and catch
them up but he was too late, so that didn't help in the end.</p>
<p>
<p>When I got to 2nd Coming I was _very_ impressed with the draft,
which is massive despite a very tall rift. Wassil and Sieds went off
to start rerigging down the pitches and I was left to tart up the

<p>I started where the previous trip had left off after a couple of

with would have been nice, as it was very hard to decide which bits
should have a rope and which didn't need one, but as it was just me I
did my best to make it not-shit. Did some gardening too.</p>
<p>
<p>Hours with no floor is a pain. I had to unchain a ~60m rope without
anywhere to put the loops except one wedged rock. Turns out it can be
done, by draping the rope carefully over your legs braced across the
rift and taking a lot of care not to get things tangled, but that was
another 40 mins gone.</p>
<p>
<p>Eventually the others returned, having run out of nuts, even the
ones scavenged from my rigging. I had put 11.5 bolts in (with a 4ah
battery) and it still wsn't quite dead, so that was good. Wassil told
me to put rope on the couple of sections I'd decided were easy enough
to remain unroped, so apparently I should have just done the whole lot
anyway.</p>

meant we didn't get lost this time.</p>

route in the end, as I was now decamping to Balcony to help get that
