"text": "KH to staircase 36\nMark and I (Ash) set off for a productive trip in KH with the intention of learning the route and progressing the rigging at the end of the cave. GPX\u2019ed the route to the entrance, having finally finessed the cairns and reflector-ed route to the entrance (161h). At the cave around 10am , perhaps the most efficient start yet. Progress through Iceland and onwards was efficient up to Amyl nitrate. At this point we somehow managed to confuse ourselves and think we\u2019d reached Triassic park (when we hadn\u2019t!). Ensue half an hour of wandering uo and down the southern branch of Triassic Pak being confused , before working out we wouldn\u2019t find Knossos junction here!. We eventually figured it out, passed through the northern section of Triassic and onto to Knossos. The pitch rig was not great -perhaps more work needed here. But den into the massive chamber. Well worth visiting, 1000 lumens ais not sufficient to see the opposite wall. From here was straight forward to YAPATE and on to the bottom of staircase 36. From here Mark settled into the bothy whilst I cautiously climbed the staircase rope. Rebolted and roped, still not a great rig, a rubby beached whale rebelay at the top. Mark removed old rope, leaving in a foot loop. I began rigging a traverse at top to bridge between runnel leads pitch, still more work required here. Turned around and managed to get lost in tower blocks (massive passage wandering in circles). Rest of exit was efficient. 7 hours underground and dry exit. Slow walk back across plateau.",
