Went for an explore with a few 30m lengths of rope. Was mine & Andrew's first trip down &
Becka hadn't been down since 2014. Andrew was initially considering dropping down one of the
pitches at Natural High but George suggested a better option further on that turned out to be
called consolidation Pitch. Rigging of a bolt on the traverse across a series of pitches down to
a ledge with a clear 4 second drop straight down with lots of water dripping. Due to lack of
reop we traverses over to the opposite ledge to descend the pitch beyond that was dry. [unfilled
blank] m down with a couple of rebelays ended on a boulder slope with a smaler passage coming in
from the right & a squeeze over a 4m drop at the bottom but we had no rope left.
