<p>Adam Cooper starting an SRT descent of a newly discovered shaft on the
|
|
plateau in 1993. The shaft had already been investigated on ladder -
|
|
necessary because, as the name "Lost Rucksack Hole" suggests, he had dropped
|
|
his rucksack containing the rope into the shaft in a careless moment.
|
|
|
|
<p>This sort of entrance is typical of prospecting on the plateau. Also
|
|
typical is the fact that no-one could find the shaft again in 1993. It was
|
|
given number <a href="../../200.htm">CUCC93-01</a>, and re-found in 1995, but
|
|
no gear was to hand. Thus it remained unexplored beyond this surface shaft
|
|
until 1998, when it was finally bottomed in three trips, numbered 1623/200,
|
|
and very definitely fixed by GPS and surface survey and marked with a metal
|
|
tag. We won't be losing that one again, at least !
