Sunny day with every weather forecast predicting biblical rain in the evening.
Walked over to the area below popper hohle, (likely to be called beginners luck).
Basically to the North East or Kanichenhohle
<p>
Headed up the hill the evening after the dinner with the remains of a hangover rattling around in my head. Early nights sleep and a quick get-up in the morning, the intention was to head down Balcony visit the camp then go for an afternoon push into the witching hours.
2025-ft-01
Thomas Beech found a likely hole first and started rigging it with Petzl pulses. Frank Tully surveyed it and photoed it. Basically it went down two pitches and crapped out in a chamber floored in frost shatter and ice, no draught.
<p>
Balcony has a lot of string and some bold climbs/traverses on the way down, hats of to whoever put these in.
2025-ft-02
James Waite and Ned Hope ventured off further down the benches to find their own shaft(s). Following completion of 2025-ft-01 we joined them and it was a big one, big enough for four, which was good because James forgot his helmet and borrowed mine.
After some festering I noticed a phreatic tube in the side of a bench 20025-ft-02. dropped into a small chamber and through a squeeze to another small chamber. Janis had a helmet so explored it to a conclusion, frank surveyed it. This cave ends with no draught.
<p>
Arrived at the camp just after lunch and had lunch, life is exciting. Met Becca and James W as we were leaving for caverns measureless.
Went for a walk and there are lots more shafts in this area which need dropping.
<p>
The trip to our pushing front was uneventful if you exclude climbing up the rope into Northern Powerhouse with a heavy tackle bag on my back as uneventful, it wasn't.
<p>
The lead was indicated by a station 12 in red nail varnish on the LHS Wall. The lead is the pitch down, and identified later an inclined aven up... Chris rigged the pitch and Frank started surveying it. The pitch edge is a nice wall of pebbly fill, which makes the edge less than stable. Two re-belays and a deviation off an upside down spike. Arrived at the bottom to find the rope 3m too short and a long length of deviation tat double fisherman'd on. Swung off to a ledge and started surveying the chamber, after a few legs out of the chamber we found a bolt with a red survey dot, bugger, An A lead killed.
<p>
On exit the critical deviation pinged off and had to be replaced.
Interestingly the draught at station 12 was not present either on the pitch or at the bottom of the pitch. The general thought was that the draught is going up the pitch.
Had a look at climbing up the incoming aven but it was getting late. The aven is relatively clean washed and water from it has incises through the brown and ancient looking pebbles in the pheratic rift.
Realistically it is a qmb
<p>
Returned to camp really late and ate dinner quietly because Becca and James had gone to bed early. Crawled into my pit and got the end space which was particularly lumpy for a side sleeper and had lots of unconscious slide and cuddle potential.
Got up late and headed out, this took ages because I'm particularly slow for some reasons, potentially related to age and unfitness.

Stayed up at top camp to watch the lightening storms forcast for 20:00, we had some drizzle after midnight
