+<p>After continuing to the correct pitch Haydon continued to rig the pitch only to find that the hammer and setter was left 
+at the last pitch. Ash and Sioned retrieved this from the previous pitch while Haydon gardened some sizeable boulders from 
+a ledge 10m down, that Ashley could hear from the other end of Balkonhöhle.</p>
+<p>After rope and setter had returned Haydon dropped the pitch to approx 50m and the first main ledge, to continue the next 
+drop having cold grumblings from the top of the pitch (who knows why?).</p>
+<p>Ash's perspective continued below:</p>
+<p>After Sion and I retrieved the hammer and setter that some numpty had left at the previous traverse (aka Haydon!), Haydon 
+began his dodgy bolting down the pitch. In between, Mark, Sion and I froze at the top of the pitch and quickly got bored. So 
+we decided to do some survey practicing down a side passage of loose rock. After giving up, as using a PDA is a right pain in 
+the arse, we continued to freeze our tits off at the top of the pitch. Eventually the c**nt (Haydon) returned from bolting and 
+we were able to leave this stupid pitch that will be the end of me.</p>

+far to late when we cave with the other), I arrived at balcony Gear Dump (Having shown the 
+Hilti-a-Plenty leads found the other day to Pete, Elliott, Aiden &amp; Martin beforehand) at 
+around 3pm. We then headed to the bottom of Long Drop, where kit was sorted &amp; we all got 
+to business - Anthony bolting what was to be the final push along a traverse in a dripping rift, 
+with Ash &amp; I catching up on the survey back log behind. The pitch is very impressive, and the 
+ending to its story is something of an anticlimax - Anthony bolted around the corner &amp; could 
+see around 20m to the floor where the thing closed down into an immature? meander with water in 
+it - seen that before! With all looking rather shit, we decided to turn around. I sprinted up 
+the pitch, having absolutely frozen my tits off despite wearing all my clothes (belay jacket!) 
+while surveying. I sat in the group shelter alone waiting for the others, then we got the 
+derig under way - a warm up paella for the big derig on Wednesday in Tunnocks.</p>
+<p>Everything went pretty well, with only 1 intermediate pile before the top (at ICU with a view) 
+and despite an extremely antisocial double fishermans right below a rebelay we got all the knots 
+out and it ran pretty smoothly. At the top it was 10:15 &amp; we were pushing callout, so I headed 
+out while the others sorted things out. Back at Top Camp for 11:25, our midnight callout was made. 
+Great success!</p>

+<p>Continuing to push the same route as 18th, we (re)rigged on the way in, then dropped the down-climb we'd called 
+it a day at, then down a short pitch with a rebelay to reach some large boulders with a view out into a void beyond. 
+A thrown rock suggested a 20m drop but we only had a couple of metres of rope left, so surveyed back to the end of 
+the previous survey, briefly hampered by Jenny taking out a survey station which turned out to be less well connected 
+to the boulder it was on than it appeared to be.</p>

+
+<p>This had to be our final trip, so we could carry gear down the next day. Managed to get underground at 9:05am 
+to maximise our chances.</p>
+<p>Whizzed down to the pushing front and Olly started off with the rigging, from the final bolt 
+of yesterday, a couple of naturals then a bolt got us down to a big boulder slope - a scary boulder slope at about 
+the critical angle of slope failure, with boulders arange of sizes. Olly crossed the slope to the other side and put 
+another bolt in before I crossed. After I crossed and Olly was placing the next bolt, some of the slope started moving 
+towards me. We survived.</p>
+<p>Another few bolts got us down a short pitch (formed by some very big boulders) to get more boulder slope. this was 
+marginally less steep and therefore considerably more stable. This was fortunate because we had run out of rope.</p>
+<p>Continued down the slope - passage got narrower, and was noticably draughty (out). Finally the roof came down, the 
+passage appeared to end. The draught came out of some gaps between big boulders. This looked stable, and plenty big 
+enough, and appeared to drop about 10m. It did not look freeclimbable. We contemplated going back up, cutting the end off 
+the rope and going down, but there really wasn't going to be time. So we looked down one last time, imagined the caverns 
+measureless to man that lay beyond, and surveyed out.</p>
+<p>Looked at a few inlets/alcoves at floor level on the way up, but nothing went. Higher up there are many inlets 1/2 + 
+way up the walls. Derigged as we surveyed and survived the boulders again.</p>
+<p>Surveying finished, I shuttled bags as Olly derigged. Placed a hilti at the entrance, to which we added a tag two days 
+later while pcking the bivi. Noticed that the entrance is incredibly close to the old path to 204/topcamp (i.e. the one 
+in all-with-tracks).</p>

+
+<p>Went to explore Hilti-a-Plenty and push a pitch discovered by Rob and co. This pitch was eventually 
+named Deep Space 9 - suggested by Rob on a later trip. Martin bolted and rigged, before we descended to 
+a large rocky passage. At the end of this was a promising pitch which Martin began to rig. Meanwhile I 
+started surveying a scrotty side passage.</p>
+<p>The side passage was shite for a fair bit before emerging into 
+a sandy chamber. From here an archway led to a massive chamber - Galactica. Petzl Duo could not make out 
+opposite wall, left wall, right wall, ceiling, or floor. Recalling Martin, with spot light could detect walls 
+now. 90m from side to side and 50m to near floor - could not actually make it out. Will need to go back next 
+year.</p>
+<p>Concluded the trip by surveying a smaller lead off the first chamber to conclusion. Good 150m of cave 
+surveyed not including mahoosive Galactica. Of course it was the last day of pushing.</p>

+
+<p>Went to show Rob Galactica before then the big derigging began. Derigged Deep Space 9 then the traverse 
+of Om? then Can't Stop Now this is Bat Country. Also finished an odd bit of surveying left behing by Rob 
+from before on the pitch. Then I derigged Hilti-a-Plenty with a tackle bag a tad too small. One rebelay near 
+the top proved particularly difficult to de-rig, resulting in a slip and swing and crash, to my discomfort.</p>
+<p>We met Elliot and Michael near the entrance pitch and left them to de-rig this as we headed out. Rob left 
+before Martin and I, dissappearing down the hill rather quickly. We were a bit slower, weighted down with 
+lots of gear. And after today all of Balcony was finally derigged and the derig was completed for this year.</p>
