"text": "After waking up and going for a piss, I bumped into Mr Kettle who asked what my plans were. My reply of \u201cno idea\u201d was met with \u201cwell, if you\u2019re ready in ten minutes, you can come to KH with the Hannahs and I\u201d so I quickly rushed over and got ready. Ten minutes later I left with Hannah Hannah and Charlotte who had left Harry on the grike planning to meet me as they didn\u2019t expect me to be ready so quickly. \n<p>\nWe departed and met with Russell and Lara on their return from an epic exploration in KH and left Charlotte with them as we continued on our own. Surprisingly quickly we were kitted up and descending the KH entrance pitches to find much less ice and the base than Harry and Hannah C remembered. We progressed towards Harry and Hannah\u2019s \u201cgrotty lead with not much prospect\u201d rather uneventfully (besides me wishing I had more tread on my wellies). We ascended Staircase 36 and re-descended in to The Runnel Stone, got dressed and pushed on to the pushing front. We climbed down and began surveying the pitch under Harry\u2019s instruction while Hannah C bolted the pitch. \n<p>\nAt the base of the pitch we got the shelter out while Hannah bolted a traverse towards the pitch we found. After Harry requested a stone to be thrown we listened out for the crash. A first thought of \u201cthat\u2019s pretty cool\u201d after a three second drop was followed three seconds or so later with an \u201coh fuck\u201d as the rock finally exploded at the bottom. \n<p>\nHarry and Hannah C went to bolt the pitch leaving Muscy Hannah and I to try and stay warm in the shelter. We lost track of time but after half an hour or so Hannah and I finished surveying to the pitch head, looked down the shaft in awe, turned around and prussiked to our fluff in The Runnel Stone. Not too long later Harry and Hannah arrived to tell us how they used 80 metres of rope and couldn\u2019t see the bottom. Recovering from the shock, we headed out to warm up. \n<p>\nThe return trip was punctuated with me annoying Muscy Hannah by removing more and more layers, eventually ending up with nothing on my top half besides the thin MTDE oversuit. Waiting to ascend the Nossus pitch, my stomach rumbling and Harry checking his watch reminded me that it had been 24hours since I\u2019d had a meal so I quickly inhaled a flapjack and we continued uneventfully out eventually reaching surface to catch the sun setting over the Alps \u2013 a pleasant sight after many days of rain.",
