Tempest - The Tempest Diaries

Having arrived at top camp we decided to go and poke the hole we had found at the end of the day on the 12th. Given the workinjg title of tomb of christ by Tom due to its situation under a large metal cross. It was agreed that if the cave went it would be renamed Tempest in honour of Lizzie's favourite primary school performance: The Tempest: The musical. Emily had begun bolting a traverse in before we were scared off by weather. So I connected this to a Y hang which dropped - 20m onto a snowy slope with passage leading both left and right. Tom dropped in and started bolting a rebelay while I dig through the snow to look at the more promising RH lead - this turned out to be a [?] slope - 45 degrees which confirmed for 15m. Sadly the drill fucked up before Tom could finish the bolt and with more weather approaching we turnedaround, vowing to return.
