After killing several ‘A’ leads the day before near entrance F (they were all C leads at best), we hoped the next day’s caving would show more promise. Wookey told us there was an A lead in Dehydration, above Staircase 36, but couldn’t remember what the lead was and he hadn’t drawn up the survey for it. Apparently it would be obvious, so we set off to try and find it. From the bottom of Staircase 36, there was an insitu up pitch which we replaced the rope and a couple of bolts on, then continued to a horrible and very wet traverse over a big hole. Hannah drew the short straw and replaced the rope on this one, getting very wet in the process. One more up pitch afterwards which we again rerigged and added a couple of bolts in for and we got to where the lead should be. Walking over a huge and quite scary looking boulder false floor with a large drop below, we saw a large phreatic tube in the roof - the A lead? It was an easy bolt climb up and we were pleased to find it was virgin passage. A bit of walking passage soon lowered into a drafting crawl then opened up again to walking height and the top of a ~20m pitch into a huge chamber. I rigged a Y hang but sadly ran out of bolts to get to the floor.
Back at the scary boulder floor we descended a previously explored pitch to have a look. Becka bodged a survey leg, firing the SAP at Hannah’s croll as the survey point was behind a rock, then we spent quite a long time working out if a short leg to correct the bodge should go up or down. There was a drafting traverse at the bottom we guessed went to the Runnel Stone but looked quite unpleasant. Time was getting on and we returned to camp.
<p>
We returned the next day with more rope and bolts and continued descending the pitch above the big chamber. Eventually reaching the floor it was obvious it had already been explored. We wandered around with the survey and soon worked out we’d dropped into the Runnel Stone. A shame to kill the lead so quickly but it was a nicer way in than the unpleasant traverse we’d seen at the end of the previous day. We had a wander around Runnel Stone, which is a lovely chamber with fantastic shaped rock. Eventually we found a lead that looked interesting, a drafting 6m climb. Narrow rift below the climb led to a ~20m pitch. The bottom continued to another pitch but without more bolts we called it a day and headed out.
