<b>Duncan Collis</b>, expedition 1995, 1996, 1997, and 1998, 1999, 2000, 2001, 2002 and 2007.
|
|
Came along at just the time when the furthest reaches of
|
|
<a href="../../smkridge/161/top.htm">Kaninchenhöhle</a>
|
|
were getting too far for most people to contemplate, and then
|
|
<a href="../../smkridge/161/sftotp.htm#id161d">161d</a> changed all that.
|
|
One of those responsible for revisiting
|
|
<a href="../../smkridge/161/sibria.htm#siberia">Siberia</a>
|
|
in 1997 and descending the 70m
|
|
<a href="../../smkridge/161/sibria.htm#seproblem">Somebody Else's
|
|
Problem</a>. In 1998, he and Steve Bellhouse pushed this down another large
|
|
pitch, <a href="../../smkridge/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="../../smkridge/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="../../smkridge/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>
