@@ -312,7 +312,7 @@ Dinner day so a slack trip in order. <br /><br />Sorted out 188, 99OB03 &amp; 99
<div class="tripdate" id="2000-08-05a">2000-08-05</div>
<div class="trippeople"><u>Wookey</u>, Andrew Atkinson, Becka Lawson, Michael Allen</div>
<div class="triptitle">40 - Eish&ouml;hle - mission impossible</div>
Walked up from base camp as it was not raining for a change. Mike &amp; Becka (who set off first) were nowhere to be seen - they'd got sidetracked onto the <span lang="de">Schwabenschacht</span> track &amp; turned up about an hour after us, very pissed off :-) Both even more dismayed to find soggy undersuits! <br /><br />Went off down Mission Impossible to survey it. Left Mike rerigging up-pitch to remove rubs. Moved deviation of p25 (Good afternoon Mr. Phelps) &amp; start of next sloping pitch (off floor). Wet pool not quite as bad as we had been led to believe, but still not great. Put in a couple of rocks to allow a reasonably dry passage. Laughed at the extraordinary spider-web of rigging on big pitch ( [blank where name ought to have been inserted, Ed.] ) and re-rigged (as we had drill) with a traverse &amp; new rebelay. Rope didn't reach so we used old rope for bottom part. Wook &amp; Becka did tape/plumb parts of survey down pitch. <br /><br />Very impressive pitch. Traverse across top may lead to somewhere different - needs checking. 20m down it narrows &amp; then chokes - continues through narrow connecty bit to enter side of another big shaft - possible ways on on other side. <br /><br />At bottom wind comes out of low passage &amp; into low one, blocked by rocks after a few feet (could be dug). Surveyed this horiz. passage after running around quite extensive horizontal development, and pulling 100m rope out of streamway, where it was rigging a 6m pitch. Mike went out as he was very cold. Becka stuck it out &amp; was pleased to prussik out with 100m rope to warm up. Wook &amp; Andy finished off survey up pitches, derigging old rope en-route. Left with 100m rigged on a traverse ready to go down pitch. Good trip. Nice bit of cave - but where the hell is the connection hidden ? <center>
