"text": "no reflectors left on spits.\n<br>\n4th pitch left rigged\n<p>\nWith major Faff we set off from top camp towards Fishface to collect rope that had been left there \nlast year. Our bags were very heavy with lots of ropes, hangers and all our caving kit to get to the \nstore of ropes at the bottom of the 4th pitch. James and Jacob found the cave with minimal snow and \ncleared and flattened it whilst Charlotte kitted up to go in and rig.Jacob hadn't brought a chest \nharness to expo so some macguyvering of a sling was in order. Rigging went smoothly past the chossy \ndeath pitch and tasteful noods until we got to the icy tube pitch. Charlotte rigged the wrong way \nhere as the topo from Jonty had confused hiltis for expansions. Cue an hour of going down the wrong \npitch and then back up and fruitful searching for hiltis (unreflectored). Charlotte found the nright \nbolts and eventually the rest of us got into a group shelter and started singing, hugging, shivering \nand eating flapjack to stay warm. We even wrote a new verse of Hard Caver.\n<p>\nThe plateau is perfect for caving they say\n<br>\nas long as you find them and don't lose your way\n<br>\nwe went down to fishface to collect all the rope\n<br>\nbut missed half the bolts and we lost all our hope\n.....\n<p>\nEventually we heard rope free and quickly made our way down to the rope store at the bottom. As I \npassed the deviation at the bottom my light decided it didn't want to work anymore meaning i had to \nuse my spare which fortunatly was around my neck! Large tacklebags were filled up with large \nquantities of rope which then were prussiced out by this years expos first and keenest cavers. we \nemerged after much fighting with bags (charlotte really likes having three bags whilst derigging) to \na lovely evening with the sun just having set, and enjoyed a relaxing walk back to top with the milky \nway looking over us. (The walk was much less relaxing for me as the spade handle kept getting caught \non things and tried to kill me multiple times).",
