106

After retreating after the 6th, Ben and Andy W got up to the col as night fell, staggering slightly on the way. It all looked set for a brilliant star studded night. At 1 am, both were awoken by gales and lashing rain. The tent leaked, tried to take off etc. etc. producing a particularly uncomfortable night. Were due to get up at 5 but jacked due to the wind. Eventually got underground at 9 am intending to hit the 600m level. Unfortunately it was a bit wet underground and after reaching the free 15m pitch it was decided the new pitches would be too wet so we jacked. Washed the 15m rope, took out a piece of Marlow and a piece of hawserlaid.
