The climb up Big Dome was 8.5 meters. You can see a picture of John on the climb here: http://s799.photobucket.com/user/comalcaver/media/Caving/IMG_1134edited.jpg. html?sort=3 <http://s799.photobucket.com/user/comalcaver/media/Caving/IMG_1134edited.jpg .html?sort=3&o=0> &o=0

Too bad it didn't go. :-( Mark At 12:10 AM 1/27/2014, Marvin and Lisa wrote: John, Angela, and I tag-teamed on the climb. John started and then I made it to the top on the north end, finding no leads. John traversed from the north end of the dome to the south end and set a bolt just below the narrow channel on that side. Angela then climbed up and, using an etrier to boost herself up into the channel, managed to clamber up to a safe stance where she could look around. Unfortunately, the channel on that side also did not lead into any passage. We got some good pics of all the climbers and some good long-exposure shots of the dome with Angela up there lighting up the ceiling channels.
