Walked up the hill in clag and up to Balkon. The water pool was perfect for rope washing using the small astroturf tube. Alex and I were about half way through when Jono (sadly without his wetsuit) and Chris turned up. We chained the rope and left it on a washing line then took the metalwork out and I derigged the entrance pitch getting still damper in the process. Foolishly I'd sent Alex and Chris off with just the metalware so Jono and I ended up with monster to stagger back with and we had to teeter around picking up the reflectors. Once we could see top camp on the way home I shouted "can you help us carry?". Unfortunately, this was heard as "help, help, help!". Alex and Kristian dashed up and helped us back in the rain.
