76 - Keg Series
Jenny Black
Much wetter in Plugged Shaft today, but totally passable. Got to Boulder Chamber and Olly
started to rig Keg Series. We were last here in 2004, despite me remembering which rope we
rigged it on then, I had no idea on the actual rigging details. Olly started from the Follow
Thru' Shaft end. I had a go and concluded that was wrong. I also concluded that the original
rig needed bolts adding, was loose and looked pretty drippy. So we decided to change plan and
rig down Follow Through Shaft, then go down the Adventures in Time and Space route to the
bottom of Keg Series (last visited by us and Dave Loeffler in 2005). Again we were hazy on the
rig.
I was happy that the traverse had been left rigged at the top and was only a bit
drippy. Olly rigged down for a bit then I took over, eventually finding a suitable deviation
for the final bit. Last 10m or so was drippy (but less bad with the deviation in). I had a
quick look in Razor Advance while Olly came down. Keg Series was very wet and drippy, but Razor
Advance was dry, so we left the drill and survey kit there and headed out. When tired and unfit
it took just over 2 hrs out.
