Came along at just the time when the furthest reaches of <a href="../../1623/161/top.htm">Kaninchenhöhle</a> were getting too far for most people to contemplate, and then <a href="../../1623/161/sftotp.htm#id161d">161d</a> changed all that. One of those responsible for revisiting <a href="../../1623/161/sibria.htm#siberia">Siberia</a> in 1997 and descending the 70m <a href="../../1623/161/sibria.htm#seproblem">Somebody Else's Problem</a>. In 1998, he and Steve Bellhouse pushed this down another large pitch, <a href="../../1623/161/sibria.htm#moscow">Midnight in Moscow</a>, and a series of shorter drops to a pretty definite conclusion at a new deep point of 533m (527m below the original entrance).</p> <p>In 1999, he and Anthony Day along with Mick Thompson found the entrance to <a href="../../1623/204/entrance.html">Steinbrückenhöhle</a>, which was to become the focus of the next several years' expeditions. In 2001 and 2002 he was involved in pushing <a href="../../1623/204/ariston.html#razor">Razordance</a>, finally reaching the bottom at a depth of 596m from the 204a entrance during the big push of 2007.</p> <p>Now lives in China as a member of the <a href="http://www.hongmeigui.net/"> Hongmeigui Cave Exploration Society</a>.</p> <hr style="clear: both" /><p class="caption">Photo © Duncan Collis, 1996</p> <!-- Photo from Dunk's gif 1998.08.22 --> <hr /> <!-- LINKS --> <ul id="links"> <li>Back to table of <a href="../index.htm">expo members</a></li> <li>Back to <a href="../../index.htm">Expedition Intro page</a> <ul> <li><a href="../../infodx.htm"><b>Index</b> to Expo</a> information pages</li> </ul></li> <li>Back to <a href="../../../index.htm">CUCC Home page</a></li> </ul> </body> </html>
