plateau - Prospecting beyond FGH and GSH
Mon 07 Aug 2017
Philip Sargent
#1 ‘Delicate Bridge Hole’ [2017-AMS-01]: near skipole, rigged from natural and steelpole section to snowslope, 40m. Tagged.
[Adam and Corin returned to this the next day and crapped it out).
#2 and 3: three big holes and pit, see survey notes. [LOST !]
[Editors note: Adam managed to mislay all the notes of this trip, including the numbers of the tags made and left in the caves; and the notes were not found on the 2018 or 2019 expos despite looking for them. They never went near a wallet apparently.]
One of our caves at 078 was re-found and pushed by Becka as 2023-BL-11 in 2023]
Geolocating photos, and tying up with a scrap of paper found in the hut, we have an entrance at GPS point 081. Now 2017-AMS-02 and wallet 2017#60.
