Joel, on his inspection of the bottom of the cave, found a skeleton that he claimed to be rodent-like and then professed to be a Gemse. Its true origins remain a mystery though, perhaps even being some kind of proto-human. Nevertheless, Jonty and Joel began an ascent from the killed-off pit, reaching the surface to again be greeted by the glaring sun, with Buck following close behind and Becka shortly after, having helpfully derigged the cave. She did however express her surprise about how easily the Petzl Pulse anchors could be removed.

While Becka tidied her things away, Buck led Jonty and Joel to a nearby hole that he and Becka had found while meddling with the survey devices. The hole - 2006-05 - had been tagged but never dropped, as far as the group could discern. Given the groups existing presence with cave-dropping gear, a crack team of Joel was sent to check the cave, with Becka's instructions to perform a 'quick and dirty' operation. He performed some impressive bolting maneouveres and after only an hour reached the floor, 15 meters below, having dropped Jonty's safety glasses down the cave twice. Unfortunately this cave proved, again, to not be the one that would cement these CRESH members' spots as big-cave-discoverers. Serendipitously, there was another snow plug at the bottom of this cave, which the group sent water bottles down for Joel to fill with, despite their earlier chiding remarks of Jonty's superfluous snow plug excursion, and his soon-after vindication when they tasted the icy goodness of his drink on this 30 degree day. +

While Becka tidied her things away, Buck led Jonty and Joel to a nearby hole that he and Becka had found while meddling with the survey devices. The hole - 2005-06 - had been tagged but never dropped, as far as the group could discern. Given the groups existing presence with cave-dropping gear, a crack team of Joel was sent to check the cave, with Becka's instructions to perform a 'quick and dirty' operation. He performed some impressive bolting maneouveres and after only an hour reached the floor, 15 meters below, having dropped Jonty's safety glasses down the cave twice. Unfortunately this cave proved, again, to not be the one that would cement these CRESH members' spots as big-cave-discoverers - "2005-06 description: 15m pitch to a too tight continuation". Serendipitously, there was another snow plug at the bottom of this cave, which the group sent water bottles down for Joel to fill with, despite their earlier chiding remarks of Jonty's superfluous snow plug excursion, and his soon-after vindication when they tasted the icy goodness of his drink on this 30 degree day.

Joel was soon prussiking up the pitch with the ice bottles, where he reached the super short deviation, made of 2 carabiners, that Jonty had helpfully suggested he use when the sling he had had been going to use was too long. Unfortunately, Jonty's suggestion had made the deviation too deviating and very difficult to pass, causing an ensuing kerfuffle. There were various suggestions and gear sent down to Joel over the next 10 minutes, but he eventually unstuck himself with a cordelette 3:1, a microtraxion and a knife. Becka commented that she had never seen anyone quite as strung up as he had been. 2 hours after initiation, this quick and dirty operation had certainly succeeded in achieving one of those criteria, but Becka who had previously been getting very impatient had been cheered up by watching Joel try to escape his fate. This also meant the walk home would now be less hot and sunny than it would have been before the extra project.
