<p>Got [suthinord?] gear up the hill to go caving [tsh?] (failed to remember [survey?] my safety
cord and a few other things).</p>
<p>Went to 2007-71 to look at pitch leads. Started with 07-02C, as it looked easier to get into than 07-01B. Pitch drops down on right, passage continues a few metres on with a couple of other holes to the pitch then ends as a tight inlet.</p>
<p>Olly rigged down, natural backup in main poassage, natural, bolt, bolt, deviation to get to the floor. Pitch got wider on the way down to end in a moderate sized chamber with on Icy/rocky floor and a very pretty snowcone. Sadly no way on. I pushed into a tight passage, but it only went a couple of meters. Exited, confirming that 07-01B connects.</p>
<p>Left rigged to survey once we've calibrated the distox.</p>
<p>Checked 15-01B - it is too small to get in to sadly. It might be possible (but not trivial) to moce the rock.</p>

<p>After a disgustingly warm carry up the hill with Anthony, Ash & Elliott, Elliott & I decided
we still wanted to go caving. We headed over to Balcony with 100m of 11mm snake rope, bolting &
surveying kit. Derigging the far too thin, previous rope we set about swinging into windows on
the 34m pitch, my only lead from 2014 that hadn't been snaffled. (for good reason after a loose
climb & another scary climb (that Elliot went up) it crapped out, giving the grand total of
surveyed new passage of ~10m. (swingers) After re-rigging the entrance on speedy 11mm we went
for a little bimble & found the natural highs had been derigged. See below for rigging guide.</p>

<p>Got a lift up the hill in the morning and learnt to use the distoX and topodroid in the bivi
cave. Learnt enough to go and do something useful, so headed to 101. E sounds simple. Sadly we
didn't completely remember where 101 was (having last visited in 2012) and we had no data in the GPS to help. Spent over an hour wansering around the plateau in caving gear. Hreaded back to camp to enlist the GPS + an old prospecting map print out. Found the cave easily!</p>
<p>Surveyed in splaying[?] and topodroiding (in colour!) as we went. Got past the skylight entrance and down the climb before it got too tight[?] for Olly, and we were cold. Headed out surveying out the skylight entrance as we went.</p>

<p>Down to the Ngarahoe snowcone and surveyed out. On the way we lost the nail polish back down
the pitch (I looked for a while, but gave up in the end). I swung across into the parallel shaft
from 07-01B and confirmed there were no further bolts. Thingjob[?] and phoned[?] to move onto
15-02B, but had failed to bring a drill battery - that a wander on the surface [?] looking for
new entrances.</p>
<p>Later on went for an unsuccessful walk looking for 2004-04, though it did at least warm us up.</p>

<p>Set off to continue rigging down Tunnocks (aiming to carry 2 bags to camp). On the way the
one bolt wonder handline before usual suspects was converted (more or less) into a bonafide
traverse line. Picked up Krabs, hangers & maillons from bottom of string theory & carried on
down procrastination; Wookey rigged number of the beast & we carried on down to magic glue,
putting deviations in along the way. Once at magic glue faff ensued with rope misbehaving &
getting tangled. Once I was at the bottom, wookey instaled a deviation; having previously
dropped Krab/sling down the pitch: "It's a good job wer're not climbers or we'd have to retiure
that", on a spike, bags were left just below magic glue, with a long plod out.</p>

<p>Went for an explore with a few 30m lengths of rope. Was mine & Andrew's first trip down &
Becka hadn't been down since 2014. Andrew was initially considering dropping down one of the
pitches at Natural High but George suggested a better option further on that turned out to be
called consolidation Pitch. Rigging of a bolt on the traverse across a series of pitches down to
a ledge with a clear 4 second drop straight down with lots of water dripping. Due to lack of
reop we traverses over to the opposite ledge to descend the pitch beyond that was dry. [unfilled
blank] m down with a couple of rebelays ended on a boulder slope with a smaler passage coming in
from the right & a squeeze over a 4m drop at the bottom but we had no rope left. </p>

<p>Olly rigged down 15-02B. Sadly it ended about where the final disto leg of 2015
landed. Derigged out and removed all of our gear from the cave. I was very sad it had
ended. Went to look at 97 (The day before I had climbed down the entrance chimney to see if the
vocal connection to 2007-71c was worth rigging - it isn't as it will just be too tight after[?]
the dig. The chimney is a fairly easy climb but tricky in current ice levels to exit off Ka[?]
bp[?] - it is tight and you are wedged in at the top of a 10m climb!). Anyway today we surveyed
from the leg[?] the doll[?] end[?] the climb.</p>
<p>Had a look at the surface near 2007-71, There is a strong linear feature with a small chamber
off it, but not really an actual cave.</p>

<p>Took the first rope in to 76 to make a start on the rigging. I've barely rigged in years, and
not been to 76 since 2007, and was using the stop that Julian kindly lent me, having only used a
rack for years. Aug/Any[?] it all went fine, and 76 was comfortably familiar, the hiltis has survived the ;last decade fine (though the one at the top of Draft Bitter had a bit of rusty grease in it). Got to the rock bridge rebelay and decided a drill would be useful to add a higher deviation so I came out, ready to walk down the hill and experience going to the dentist in German the next day!</p>

<div class="callout">22:00</div>
<p>We went back to investigate the lead with some more short pieces of rope & 100m of
9mm. Having received a 13m piece of rope that had been dropped at Natural High. We rerigged the
initial drop & continued back to the bottom of the boulder slope. Squeezing round a piller we
descended into a wet chamber with some pretty & sharp rock formations. The passage continued
round the corner & ended with a hole in the floor & a sloping aven coming in from the right,
where we found a survey station. This turned out to the where elliott ended up at the end of
last year having come in throught the passage coming in from the right at the top of the boulder
slope and free climbed the squeezy bit? He had just run out of batteries for survey equipment &
not been able to return (hence the name - Batteries). We decided not to survey the incoming
passage & instead Becka went down the main 75m pitch to investigate and survey. There was
nothing at the bottom & surveying turned out to be impossible as the disto we had that day was
only up to 50m (the one we used the day before was 100m) so we de-rigged and came out.</p>
