When we got to Urinal Rock, we started unpacking the bolting gear. It was at this point I realised another mistake: I'd left the drill bit at the top! We'd not be able to bolt a new deviation, though it did mean it was good we bailed on the rope. As such, I found a new natural to rig a deviation on. This time, it was a bridge of rock where I could pass a cord through. I stood at the bottom of the pitch with Fiona adjusting the knot to make the deviation more pronounced. When we were satisfied with how much it pulled the rope we tested it. First with my weight and me ascending, then with both of our weight. It held true! I was very pleased with this, but seeing as we needed to come back for a proper survey anyway, I was also keen to properly bolt it.

Fiona then drew a grade 1 survey of the Brandywine, including where we'd put the bolts. She also drew up a simple rigging topo of what we'd done. After this, Fiona started to prussik out of the cave and I stayed behind to adjust the bolts of my Y-Hang. After I was satisfied, I followed.

The most frustrating part of the ascent was bashing my shoulder on the exact same spot on the exact same rock as the day before! That, I think, drove my frustration even more than the actual pain did.
