steady abseil down the entrance series. Ben + Adam EJ decided to head out from there so we had a quick tourist up Elizabeth line then they headed out. Adam A and I hauled the expo drill I'd rought in + rope to the north of the cave but failed to use any of it at the QMB immediately on the left in the chamber in coconut shy turned up [trampo?] - a brief [?] popped into another chamber with several ways on. There was a 4m vertical climb to head upstream, a phreatic [tube?] above the way we entered soon entered + a walking canyon ended in a false floor with a ~15m pitch down to a floor + possible ways on. From the loose false floor we teatered up a bank of poorly accreted pebbles with giant stabby boulders balanced delicatly on top. This led to a second, larger pitch head with water entering from the far side. On the return I got down the pebble bank but Adam got trapped, braced [securely?] at the top but his feet pawing [?] sending pebbles cascading + eroding the hideous loose boulders. Eventually he had to just go for it + slithered down, phew. We met Luke + Nadia back at the camp kitchen + I exited in the midst of the camp fouur + Lea. For some reason Adam dawdled at camp + ended up exiting last + was late back to top camp.
