204 - Survey Rhino Rift from Dutch Beauty
Becka Lawson
Off to survey Earl's link to the end of the 21 Bolt Travese of
Gaffered. Having squeezed through, discovered there was much
more cave than Earl had described - yahoo! Julian disappeared off
for some time + came back very excited. First surveyed up to
link to 21 Bolt Traverse with Julian doing the squeeze through the
dodgy boulders onto the loose boulder pile perched on top of
Gaffer's 70m pitch. He'd missed seeing the passage we'd emerged
from from the other direction when I asked him about it yesterday,
because Earl had popped out of a tube just below it which Julian
thought was what I'd seen. We then continued surveying Rhino Rift
until we ran out of time. This was supposed to be Julian's las
caving trip before he went home but he decided he'd have to come
back tomorrow...
