Mike R forgot light part way across the plateau so had to return. Underground about 1-30, down very efficiently putting in some extra rebelays on the way. (NB: the first 120' pitch could use a rebelay at the protector to stop the rope bouncing so much). Passed phreatic level at about -150m, then to about 5m below last year. Short on ropes, we calculated that we could get back for a couple of beers. Passed John and Bill on the way out, back at 10 O'clock, well before the thunderstorm.
In 13:30, out 20:00, 6½ hours
