Our fourth trip in this delightful hole was in hope of connecting it with KH. On every hour we had agreed to scream at whatever point we’d made it to in attempts to hear each other through the ‘Bad
|
||||
Aussee sex shop’ connection- aptly named as neither turned out to exist.
|
||||
We dropped the first four pitches/ traverses without incident and while bolting the fifth I felt a whoosh of air and the sound of water and did an extremely quick changeover of my descender and my pants.
|
||||
Luckily it turned out to be pouring down the aven opposite so I sat in the emergency shelter for 45 minutes checking whether it would start pouring down mine. It didn’t. We arrived at the bottom of
|
||||
that section and found a lovely bat skeleton through a window to the side of the floor rift. The next pitch was down a tight rift and led into a 25 metre hang into a large aven. This unfortunately
|
||||
tightened down to a wiggling rift that we shouted down extensively but turned out to be too tight for people. Some chemical or percussive persuasion could perhaps make this bigger. Interest in this
|
||||
likely depending on its proximity to KH leads. Little Tom and I dropped the pitch next to the muddy traverse that appears after the enrichment Aven traverse and Fordo fault. This was a 30m impressive
|
||||
pitch, however it did not lead anywhere apart from to another bat skeleton. There are arguably three more leads in the cave. One at the bat skeleton window which goes through an extremely tight rift
|
||||
in the floor but looks like it opens up underneath by the head of the 5th pitch. The other is a drippy Aven which you go up into from the wind tunnel before bug world. There is a hole on the opposite
|
||||
side of the drips that goes down around 10m, undescended. The final lead is the Aven on the far right as you come into vertigo view chamber. Unsure if this goes anywhere as it is likely the upstream
|
||||
beginning of the rift that ends up being Fordo Fault. Probably worth dropping though.

This hadn’t turned out to be quite the ‘walking, draughting A lead’ promised and motivation wasn’t high as we packed kit on yet another cold, wet morning at top camp. Lara decided to come with us after the wet weather put her off her original plans to visit Gruffalo.
