Although it is sufficiently far from the the bivouac that it is not normally used for exploration, it was rigged in 2002 and 2003 for use as a rescue entrance, since it would be impossible to manhandle a stretcher through the contortions of 204e or the loose boulders of 204c. It also makes for a fine tourist through-trip from the 204a entrance.</p> <p>This photograph was taken during a surface prospecting trip in 2003; depicted are Earl (left) and David Loeffler (centre).</p> <p class="caption">Photo © Olly Madge, 2003</p> <!-- Original photo: Not in archive --> <hr /> <ul id="links"> <li><a href="../gallery.html">204 photo gallery</a></li> <li><a href="../204.html">Back to 204 description</a></li> <li><a href="../../../infodx.htm">Back to Expedition Intro page</a></li> <li><a href="../../../../index.htm">Back to CUCC Home page</a></li> </ul> </body> </html>
