258 derig

Quick trip down to the top of String Theory for me and Martin to pick up the bags of rope we'd left there after de-rigging string theory and below. Left all traverse lines in cave as they were all on old rope - only Caramel Catharsis & traverse to [unreadable] pitch was derigged. Andy, Holly & Noel derigged caramel catharsis & the entrance pitch after us - thankfully as some of the entrance derig must have been interesting. Last trip of expo for us [sad emoji].

Klettersteig - Bad Goisern

Went to Bad Goisern for a couple of klettersteigs, one B one C. Car struggled up hill till too steep then back down till we found somewhere to park. Slogged up hill taking a bit of a shortcut but eventually finding path out into cliff.

Short walk gets us to start of 'easy' VF. It leads straight out up a cliff! Very exposed start on pegs. Poor Therese got rather more than the easy start promised. But it was very short and eased a bit at the top. Once she'd got over the shock she thought it was great.

We decided to walk over to the 2nd one as that was a very short day's entertainment. Beware 1:50000 maps in mountains as it turned out to be a long hot walk and we got a bit lost, but eventually found the way down alongside, then back up an interesting VF. With funcky traverse wires part way up, which Cat manfully attempted despite them being a really long way apart!

Got to the top, climbed cross, and walked back to car for an excellent, if hot day out. Oh yes and we enjoyed lunch in a very fine little hut on top of the cliff edge.
