Fishface - Rigging and Gerbil Hole ATtempt
Botch
After a freezing night in the cloud at top camp, the prospect of an underground camp wasn't seeming too bad. We got going slowly due to the chill, then walked over to fishface. The camping team was myself, Nadia, Rob and Kai plus a non-camping team of Luke and Becka. We were last so spent some time re-rigging the 4th pitch - removing the footless traverse in favour of two rebelays. I was a bit concerned it'd be too tight but we didn't want to put any bolts in so left it at that. We got to underground camp and had some noodles - no utensils so we ate with a pencil. We then went to bolt down the rift that Luke freeclimbed to the lead in the rift at the end of Gerbil hole. Rigging took a while due to the confusiong nature of the rift and shit rock. We'd used our two ropes to get to the lead so just surveyed out to complete a loop. By the time we got back to camp it was 2100 so we just madesoopy smash curry and ate it with spanners.
