Team Crumpet (Rob, Jeff, Luke, Jon & Dylan)
With Dylan finally back from USA and sufficiently isolated we were finally back as a five. Quick catch-up in the Miners where Dylan & Victoria distributed our holiday presents(!) and we formulated the evening’s plan. Jon and Jeff took Dylan down to the bottom where they made a shite effort to dig mine level. Turns out it’s a much bigger job than Jon thought, and they sacked it off. Jeff and Dylan had another look around the Gloomy Passage, but with nothing to report.
Our holiday presents from our Florida-grown Dylan...!
Meanwhile me n Luke were being a bit more proactive. Luke belayed my bolt climb up the 20m high Timewarp Aven. Dodgy looking rock and far too few bolts meant I got within a few metres of the top but had to leave the last bit for another day. From where I got to it looks like at the top the rift continues both east and west but is looking quite tight.
Jeff and Dylan then went to see if the walls actually are nice in Walsernice, before we bumbled our way back out for carpark beers.
