Walked from Top Camp to Homecoming + headed down quite efficiently, split to 2 groups at the previous survey limit, below CHarlotte's 2nd pitch, Harry, Charlotte + James started surveying downstream. Jono + I surveyed upstream for a mighty 3 legs ("Alpine Waterfall") to where the stream spouted down from on high. We went up the pitch with the rope + drill aiming to bolt a vertical lead but Harry caught us up to say they needed it so he took the drill + rope + they bolted downstream until they ran out of rope to leave a splashy A-lead continuing downstream.

Jono + I ticked off the QMA between the 1st + 2nd pitches {squiggle} was higher in the same rift that Harry et al were in - confirmed with a vocal connection - then we surveyed a minor loop + lead near the start of the 2023 finds ("Hoverbone Canyon 2") [squiggle squiggle, not at all Hoverbone Canyon, Ed.] + Jono did photogrammetry.

We'd run out of horizontal leads so headed out, luckily beating the jam caused by 2 trips arriving simultaneously at the bottom of Homecoming entrance which meant that some people had a very late night.

T/U Becka and Jono 13 hours, the others 15 hours
