We came up with a plan of starting with our one remaining thick rope (29m) and shift
everything else down accordingly. Olly needed a day to rest his knees, so I spent the day
untying and re-tying knots in Plugged Shaft. On the second go I got the 29m to reach the second
of the twin rebelays (31m would be better). Then the 65m reached Yesterday's Terminus (again a
few m more would have been better). Then the 48m comfortably reached the bottom of Saved
Shaft. I tweaked some of the lengths on my way out. Today the weather Gods smiled on me, and I
got my gear dry before the heavy rain started.
