Tom and Pete showed me the way down their new stuff from the previous day, in a big trunk passage we've called "Rib with Knoedel". Pete started bolting the next traverse while Tom and I surveyed.

I was rather impressed with the scale of the place. We were reeling off 10m+ legs one after the other, and one of the legs up the passsage was 28.84m.

After some while Pete came and found us, reporting that the traverse was pretty much done. I went across just to check it was possible and saw that the passage continued in fine style beyond, with a nice pothole in the floor.

At this point Tom and I went back to surveying while Pete cooked soup on my Trangia. After drinking the soup we debated what to do next. I was keen on sending Pete back to camp to extend our callout and surveying on across the traverse but then realised I was out of survey note paper, so we surveyed up slope to the other end and went out.
