Due to extremely hot day is was a very sweaty walk up. Abbed down to -120m and decided to have a quick look down a parallel unexplored shaft. This required a fairly desperate step across the rift (and even worse coming back) - but to no avail. It connected at the side and bottom with the rift which had already been explored.
So - derigged & John's light failed at the foot of the entrance (110 ft) pitch. So he had a bit of a hassle at the rebelay and kicked a few rocks down which make a very nasty sound when you're at the bottom.
Coming out we followed the wrong set of cairns to find the path to Wolfhohle !!
