Russell and I packed rope, a drill and 25 hangers, bolts and maillons (no plans to run out again!) After a cold but relatively efficient morning we all got underground about 11:30, starting off with Ash and Buck to show them the way through the cave to our furthest point. The journey through the cave was uneventful, and it was fun to show Ash beyond Staircase 36 after he’d done so much of the research beforehand. My rebolting of Strange Upfall was enjoyed by no one, but also lacked in any suggestions for how to actually improve the awkward pitch head (which is best done by using the Y hang like a ladder to get onto the traverse). We eventually returned to our previous point at the start of the Three Wise Men traverse and said goodbye to Ash and Buck as they headed off to look at leads in No Country for Old Men.
