However, before too long Hamish had discovered another promising entrance, this time definitively lacking any associated GPS blob. We whacked some bolts in and Hamish started off down the 45 degree snow slope which formed the passage floor. By the time he had confirmed its termination a short 10 metres later he was approaching hypothermia, so once he was out I fired some splays down for a rough survey and then we made our escape. (Frosty Bear was consequently born). After a remarkably short bunde bash we popped out onto the Fishface path just above Nadia’s Demise, reconfirming that this is the superior route for exploring the southern flank of the Valley of Death. Following some swift noodlage at top camp we scampered back to the car park, as the weather pulled an uno reverse and switched to 20 degrees blinding heat. A frustrating day which offered far fewer returns than we would have liked, but more achieved than had we not set out at all (just).+As for the leaking water system, the connector for the new large green water butt (gifted to expo by a few old lags) appeared to have been loosened by someone or something unknown. The absent top camp team appeared to have valved this off, but not before all the water was gone. This was retightened before the next shower, and the water butts were half full before a return to base was called for. +NB: Please don't unscrew/undo any of the water barrel fittings. +NB2: When all 4 barrels are reasonably full, valve off all but the furthest barrel (which is filled by the colleaction tarp) at the 4-way manifold. That way, if some rodent has worked out how to loosen one of the butt fittings only one barrel of water will be lost at a time. +NB3: Please get into the habit of checking the water system for leaks/ unexpected drops in water level before heading down the hill +
