: A small shaft in a large clint (oops,
grike). Very sharp rocks at the top, after which the shaft bells out toward
a lightly boulder covered floor about 27m (85 feet to sensible people) from
surface, but as yet the ladder doesn't reach the floor.

Got up at 7.30 (not Simon). We reached the café at about 12 and
then discovered how heavy the gear was and how hot the weather was. The snow
was out in force, but Simon, Andy and Doug found that 106 was possible. So
the rest of us split into two groups and started .
Nicky went down a shaft that appeared to go off to one side, however this
only proved to be a tight and sharp (blood everywhere) way under the snow
plug. About 50' deep.
