234 Monster Munch
Dave Loeffler
Woke up feeling desperately unenthusiastic after a very cold, damp night. Aaron managed to persuade me underground and we got going. En route Aaron checked 04-20B which doesn't go anywhere.
Surveying Monster Munch was a pain in the arse as it is slightly too sloping to plumb. Got to the bottom using a 94m rope, in place of the 71 which we derigged as we went and carried down to use on the next pitch.
Surprise, surprise, at the bottom is yet another pitch. Aaron placed a traverse bolt and a hang bolt and deviation off a convenient rock spike and we got down to a big ledge where we could admire the next shaft, maybe 15 or 20m but a fine round clean phreatic pitch. In the floor there looks to be a trench which presumably leads to the next pitch after that. Only 300m to go to Razor Dance!
