<p>Nice trip showing Fer and Aiora the way down to String Theory. Got a bit lost at Ykikikiki beach, almost ended up at starfish junction. Made our was to the top of string theory to find Noel and Andy in a distraught state of mind and body. Noel had a close shave with a boulder on top of the short traverses. Rigged the top section of String Theory until we ran out of hangers. Made our way out but got caught in the slow hour traffic on the entrance pitch. Waited for an hour at the bottom of the snow slope, very cold.

While team elite waited for our German guests to arrive, team Wook went on ahead, and team novice followed on slowly and were caught up at the tyrolean, which turned out to be just as crap in the other direction when you get your descender caught up in the loop as the pulley tries to take you 45deg horizontally out into the sag of the rope. The stepping off part is at least a meter from the end, which saves the last fine minutes of arm hauling that you have to do on the way out (a disto measure showed its within 1deg of being level). Jess got strung up for a long while and opted for the down and up pitches, Alex went there too. The double rebelay on a boulder on the up pitch was quite slow too, so when we arrived at the junction it was nearly time for the novices to head out. After one of the Germans found the way on in the South route I set Jess and Alex finally to survey it, then went off to see what was going on elsewhere. Team Wook's lead was crapping out. They'd found some blind soily lower chamber that was a good place to take an afternoon dump that simply wasn't going to hold out for much longer. For a brief few minutes the South passage looked like the best going lead. Unfortunately I said so and this was held against me even though it had crapped out but the time I got back to it. The Germans had god down the pitch and found the way. Team elite, who were allowed to stay at the pushing front after 6pm, dropped what they were doing and followed on until very late, even though they were going to come back the next day, while team novice trapsed all the way out and across the plateau in the dark, but who cares about them if they can't keep up.

<p>As J + A were knackered through assorted injury's and noone else wanted to be responsible for following through on the route we decided the trip would fix the rigging but then derig. Amy kindly came along to show the way, Stefan wanted something much easier than KH. They got a rather bum deal with nothing much to do for 3hrs apart from shift a couple of tackle sacks up the second pitch.

<p> Wook spent 3hrs on the pitch, putting in 3 bolts (one cratered and had to be redone) making about as dry a hang as possible. Got down as far as where snow leopard comes in before running out of time (and it wasn't clear rope would reach the floor either)
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p> Managed to swing into passage about 4m above Snow Leopard. It goes about 6m S to probable dead end and 6m N to look down approx 12m pitch QMB (no draft). Checked passages above (at ledge/ spike level) - they don't go. There is a really good thread a few meters below the Snow Leopard passage which should get rig to floor. Turned round at 4pm and derigged, adding one more bolt on the spur side of the waterfall once J & A's last bolt was derigged. That should remove the major drippy bit, but is unloaded, so might rub. Got to pitch top at 5.20ish as promised but no sign of the others, and in fact it took 40mins to derig the pitch head and sort out all the gear. There were 14 crabs of stuff hanging on traverse line after I removed everything hanging from the line so no wonder its hard work moving. Left very fat sack with 94m rope in and struggled out with drill sack and sack of rope plus bolts. There's a lot of caving in 204!
