After a disgustingly warm carry up the hill with Anthony, Ash & Elliott, Elliott & I decided
we still wanted to go caving. We headed over to Balcony with 100m of 11mm snake rope, bolting &
surveying kit. Derigging the far too thin, previous rope we set about swinging into windows on
the 34m pitch, my only lead from 2014 that hadn't been snaffled. (for good reason after a loose
climb & another scary climb (that Elliott went up) it crapped out, giving the grand total of
surveyed new passage of ~10m. (swingers) After re-rigging the entrance on speedy 11mm we went
for a little bimble & found the natural highs had been derigged. See below for rigging guide.
100m + 20m
