KH 161 - Rigging Tyrolean, traverse and hand lines in Puerile Humour
-6 of us walked to 161G. The 4 of us left Ash and Dan rerigging the entrance pitch whilst we set off to try to get to Knossos. This involved 4 bits of rigging. Charlotte added bolts to the first, the 3m Tyrolean traverse, bravely sailing across on the old rope (natural backup, then 2 bolts and 2 bolts on the far wall). Next, Russell rigged the bad step traverse (2 bolts and a natural). Third, Dylan rigged the climb down (maybe 2 bolts and a natural). Finally, Becka put in a single bolt for the handline down the muddy slope by Amyl Nitrate (which Russell wants noting ought to be Amyl Nitrite) - this is tied off on a natural. We then stomped west along Triassic to find the pitch head for Knossos though we didn't have time to rig it as we wanted to be out early. At the bottom of the 2 entrance pitches the tiny stream suddenly greatly increased - "it's flood pulsing" I shouted up to Russell. He and Charlotte got out dry, Dylan started getting wet and by the time I was prussiking up the upper section of the main entrance pitch I was getting drenched. We got out to thunder and driving rain and sat it out for 90 minutes hoping for the weather to improve. To our relief, after over an hour Ash and Dylan appeared - they'd found the pitches to be even wetter than I had so had opted to exit via 161H (the horizontal entrance reached from the base of the 161G entrance pitches). Charlotte's suggestion of patience paid off and eventually the rain eased and we managed to walk back to Top Camp in the dry. +

KH 161 - Rigging Knossos and reaching Staircase 36
+We got to Knossos in short order and Russell bolted the traverse line along the left wall to access the pitch head (3 bolts?) then Charlotte bolted the pitch itself (single bolt then Y-hang at the top then a Y-hang about half way down, around the corner?). There is an area of horribly loose rock at the start of the pitch. We then had a surprisingly straightforward stomp to Staircase 36, with Becka rigging the bad step down to the base of the Staircase 36 pitch (natural then 2 bolts) and Charlotte putting in a bolt for the awkward climb shortly before this step (one bolt; on July 9th Harry adding a second bolt immediately before to make a traverse line to protect the teeter around on crumbling stones). We again ran out of time as we wanted to get back to Base Camp that evening so we left rope to rerig Staircase 36 and headed out.
T/U: 6.0 hours
