Eislufthöhle camped at col

Having camped the previous evening at the col we were underground by 7.00 am. Got about 15m below the last rebelay in Plugged Shaft and placed an airy bolt on the left hand wall - no ledges in sight.



15-20m below this we found one of last year's bolts and so rigged the final section of Plugged Shaft. Thrashed on down, rigging as we went until we reached the top of the 55m pitch. As we wanted to put a bolt in at the bottom, Julian decided that this was a job for someone with a wetsuit, so Nick descended to do the necessary. He rigged the final section of the pitch from the bolt but then couldn't find the natural belay for the Balcony Pitch so he left it. Prusiked out in just under

2 hours
arriving at the surface around about 2.00 pm.
