204/161 Connection traverse re-rigging + push +in 161
+
T/U: 17hrs
+ +

Went down to the connection to turn the 'exploratory' rigging into +something suitable for mere mortals. Took drill + 3batteries + hand +bolting kit & leftover nasty red ropes. Spent some hours re-doing the +1st traverse to go higher along line of shelf. Rob did all the +bolting & seemed to enjoy himself. Added 3 or 4 there, another on +up-bit to remove rub & Y-hang the end. Only possible by replacing +27m white rope with red as we went. Then put rope on climb and 2 more +bolts in 2nd traverse. Went to the bad step which was already bolted +& put in climb line & traverse line over bridge + step. All +this took quite some time so it was getting late & our enthusiasm +somewhat dimmed, but we should at least take a look-see having got +here. Headed on down March of the ents, noting that most of the wind +came in from the 50m pitch QM - Interesting spot. Carried on to +rivendell & the stables and rigged little climb round the corner +on a couple of dodgy naturals. Didn't have enough rope to do it +properly (or the enthusiasm).

+ +

Wandered along a bit and took a look down QM [fill in] which had a +fine breeze at the top. Very silly sloping 'pitch'. Our 27m rope got +us down past one traverse level to overlook more rift, but still at +least 6m tothe flor & not shinnable. So surveyed out, teaching Rob +distoX usage. Seemed to be no draught at the bottom, so the wind +presumably comes from across the top somewhere. We called it soilathon.

+ +

Took a look further down l[blank-for-name] shinning round various +things and poking one hole (goes to a pitch). Eventually got to a +dead-end at Mad Dogs and marvelled at the very hard-looking C5 into +the roof which the survey claimed was the way on. As it was after +midnight & we were knackered (especially Rob) we were glad of +excuse to go home & slowly came out, regretting hoiking 3 batts +down here, and taking about 5hrs to exit @5am. (It is quite a +long way). Curry felt well-deserved.
