Fishface - Bavarian Gentian

Tue 01 Aug 2023
Lea

Descended big pitch pitch rigged by Both and started surveying the chamber. It was a wet day and we heard the water at the back of the pitch start flowing with more energy. We surveyed a rift at water level. Didn't finish surveying it and lleft it as a QM. We surveyed the rift at the back of the chamber which led bback to coconut chamber? I remembered a hole the size of a toilet bowl on the false floor of the rift. We decided to givie it a shot and found a less tight place to bolt a pitch a meter away. Botch taught me to bolt and I was able to bolt my first y-hang while singing "like a virgin". We were limited in time and once in the chamber, it was quite wet so we sent a few legs/splays and derigged the whole thing. Very nice caving day. Went back to top camp after 2 nights in underground camp.
