This last item, the only complete write up of 1977-79, appeared in Polish translation, and is published in the English original for the first time here.

The lower parts of the 1970s surveys are based on measurement of rope lengths and thus probably best categorised as Grade 2. The 2004 resurveyed depth for the taproom agrees closely with the 1970s surveys:

After first year of exploration (1977)
After 1978 exploration
After 1979, the end of the original 1970's exploration: Upper half and Lower half
2004 new exploration and resurvey down to the taproom
2005 exploration and resurvey down to spent ledge [More detailed 3,182kB image]
