Reflectorist - Finding Reflectorist

After spending the morning walking up to top camp and tarp-fettling, we set off after lunch with the task of reflecting the route to Balcony within an inch of its life. We aimed to search for pastures new after completing this task. Due to our extreme diligence, however, the search manifested less chronologically favourably than planned. Unperturbed, the B-team of Bonty, Bulia and Boel set off from Balcony with expectations of great cave. +

Much like Columbus, the B-team took to naming parts of the plateau that had already been discovered, such as Japanese Garden and New Stoney Bridge. They soon found themselves looking across a vast expanse of bunde, which according to the entrances map had not been explored. From the viewpoint we had, there were some promising looking holes in sight across the valley. Unfortunately, due the unrelenting march of time and the distance in question, we had not time to investigate further. Instead we agreed to loop back around towards Balcony in order to make our way back. During a routine pincer manoeuver through some bunde, Boel stumbled across a hole in the ground - much to the excitement of the group. Given the proximity of the hole, it was decided that the B-team would drop it immediately as it was probably the next big thing. +

+

Having cunningly packed bolting gear, including the new-to-expo Petzl Pulses, the top of the entrance pitch was soon bolted (following some scrutiny of the bolts' documentation booklet). The entrance proceeded down a shallow rift encircled by bunde before plummeting into a 10m shaft which could be traversed to a flatter patch of plateau beyond. Rigging was initiated from the far side of the hole i.e. the bunde direction, before a y-hang allowed descent of the pitch. Both Boel and Bonty bravely bottomed the beast, discovering a further pitch scores of meters deep which resonated with every rock despatched into its depths. With excitement building but time running short, it was decided to draw things to a close and return another day with sufficient equipment and people power to properly survey the passage and install further rigging. The B-team wrapped up and headed back via Balcony to convey the good news to the others at top camp. +
