3rd attempt on the penguin fellatio resurvey.Took another 50mof rope & 6mm hangers
after not having enough gear last time. And a MOnday callout so we had enough time.

due to taking others out last time! Doh! <u>Another</u> failure was just too much
so Wook decided to go all the wy back down March of the Penguins, [sqiggle], High & [squiggle]
to steal hangers out of the Usual Suspects traverse rigging.
Solo speed carry was [squiggle] fun and he took 25 mins there, 20 mins derigging and
30 minutes back.

Max & Ryan got v.cold as Max rigged the pitch.. [[VERY BAD HANDWRITING]]
<p><h2>**** MORE TO TYPE IN HERE ****</h2>
Max & Ryan got v.cold waiting. Max rigged the pitch whilst Wook and Ryan re-did Pengun Fellatio.
Pitch survey [?] was a pain and it wasn't possible to see [squiggle] [squiggle] each other
so we [squiggle] a [sqiggle] at top & bottom.
<p>
Max did great job of rigging where Wook couldn't reach. Down in Icecockwe joined up survey and
went for a look round. Ryan found a scrotty bit not on the survey & got explorationfever
so took off SRT [squiggle] to shove himself through & make a loop.
So then we had to survey it.
Ryan learned a bit about surveying.
Decided we couldn't get to the dodgy leg in Frozen North without wire [?]
so headed out. Max derigged. Then rerigged MOTP from [squiggle] 32 back to chmaber
above spiral around. Rebelay [?] existing points is very time consuming.
After a while we couldn't find the [squiggle] & made up out on [squiggle]
linking to [squiggle] we could find.
Finally staggered out, including the [squiggle][squiggle][squiggle] by 2am.
<p>* Looked up snow slope in Frozen North. Max got up to where there were no more foot[squiggle]
~10m up. Quite [squiggle]. There must be an entrance somewhere.

[Wook:] Went over to Fishface to see if we could connect it to Happy Butterfly.
Looked in right direction but didn't find anything very interesting - a bit of
[squiggle] [squiggle] [squiggle] [squiggle] to known stuff.
<p>[Ryan takes over writeup:]
There was a hunting [?] [squiggle] potential lead, after some rambling to
decide to [squiggle] a 'fishermans hole' on route to a rift choke ahead
(there we had [squiggle] [squiggle] dear bits).
The hole that we were interested in appeared to have been previously dropped -
a hanger and bolt we insitu, even if slightly rusted.
We dropped the pitch (20m?) into a large rift with a distinctive largesquare boulder wedged in the passage.
Ryan [squiggle] the lead to the left; a rigt
heading down which choked out, however when surveyed by Wook [squiggle]
[squiggle] survey stations were found.
Nevertheless they re-surveyed the passage.
<p>
The second pitch was drilled and better to drop a new pitch, again about
20m down to a false floor in the rift. After descending Wookey
declared Ryan's gardening (the removal of loose and potentially
dangerous rock) as [squiggle] and proceeded, assisted by Adam,
to kick down the loose rock-garden.
<p>
At the bottom of the pitch we found leads in both directions, however
decided to push down the rift (following the airflow).
A traverse line was rigged across a ropey section of false floor
which dropped down onto a larger pitch.
Another test conducted by Adam measured the rockfall from topto [squiggle] impact as 2.1st~20m
a distance we could not reach with the rope we had.
We used the left-over rope to assist in rigging a Y-hang and setting bolts, however,
did not push the mystery pitch.
We left the pitches rigged.
Afte Wookey [squiggle] the survey [squiggle] conducted throughout the trip
to [squiggle] if the new passage connected (potentially) to the existing system or
could be pointing in a new direction.
<p>
All in allthe trip was a [squiggle] learning experience for both
Adam and Ryan to both survey technique, rigging, bolting and most importantly gardening!
