<h2>**** TO BE TYPED IN ****</h2>
<p>A swift hour's caving with minimal gear got us to
yesterday's pushing front. The first 3 hours were spentdropping two pitches (the Snail Trail pitches)
+ surveying in drafty, awkward rift.
They [the pitches?] started the far side of the Snail Trail Traverse.
We ran out of rope so left a decent lead continuing across + down
with a decent lead continuing across + down with a good draft but it would be hard going,
climbing up + rigging up + downin tall, narrow rift.
<p>We then deriggedall of SNail Trail+ wentto the tube above the mud slope on the main
Hangman's Traverse. George strolled up the steep mud slope to the tube + put in a bolt
for mefor a handline up then abandoned me with 2 bags
and a loose rope to worm my way along a little tube until
it opened out.
<P>We surveyed then dropped a ? p15m + dropped thenext, deeper hole.
At the top level + down the pitch were amazing large beds of ginger
crystals (see George's photos) at all crazy angles. The pitch turned into a biggy
so it was lucky that I'd brought all 3 ropes along.Finding a clean hang
among the sharp spikes,slopy walls + shit rock proved toomuch
of a challenge for George :-).
<p>We surveyed downwhilst George was rigging until we hit a big ledge
where we'd run out of rope. There were huge boulders
so we had fun crashing them down (though one monster he
videoed headed the wrong way when I pushed it + I thought
I was going to crush him) + I gotnearly 50m distoXshot further down
so we're still well off the bottom.
<p>Tired ont eh survey on the way out. Took 90 min from bottom of Hangman's to get
out.

<h2>**** TO BE TYPED IN ****</h2>
<p>The plan was to get all the gear to camp so that we could spend the night there.
I rerigged the top half of Number of the Beast
with the rope left at Usual Suspects whilst Luke battered his way in with
two big bags. Luke then proceeded to rig Infernowhile I bagged up the
camping gear.We didn't have enough dry bags for all 3 pits so one was left in a bin bag
at the topof Inferno. After a bit of shuffling the rest of the gear
made it to Upper Kraken. Luke rigged the Kraken pitch and I followed.
<p>
The tent was very damp but not mouldy. There was a bit of slime in the
water collection Daren drums. Luke set about drying out the tent using much of our bog roll.
I started rigging Tentacle Traverse including putting a couple of extra
bolts in the slimy part.
Rigging Infernoand Kraken had required more hangers than stated in the rigging guide,
mostly due to some of the rebelay bolts having been climbed up.
As a result we were a little light on hangers, and I got as far as the
little drop before running out.
<p>
By 19:30 wehad completed all our jobs. Since it was nowhere near
bedtime, we decided to cook up a curry and head out.
Apart from horrible jammer slip on the Kraken pitch,
Iexited without incident. Luke's footloops snapped on the Kraken
pitch, so he had to come back down to replace them with a sling.
