Hi Jacqui,
The subject says "CM Cave" and "2012-06-09". I think it would be more
appropriate for this to be part of an overall trip report, rather than
me sending these bits and pieces for publication anywhere.
Cheers,
David

Back to the original post on the "trip report"--please send it
somewhere for publication or if you cannot, at least tell us which
cave and when did you do these things in this cave?

How about a trip report for a change? It was just meant for Ben and
Terry's records and is thus lacking some context that is known to
them,
but better than nothing, I suppose... ;-)

Hola,
So this is my first attempt at using my iPad to sketch something.
Let me
know if you think it's what you want for your records or not.
Matt and Saj Zapp. helped me drag gear in, and Matt belayed me. The
actual climb (6 bolts, plus a seventh to make it more convenient to
get
back down) took about 2 hours, I'd say? I climbed up to that about
40
degree sloped, maybe 2 meters deep shelf, too steep to scramble up,
which was covered in about 10-20 cm of crusted mud and would have
been a
pain to set bolts in. At that time, it was apparent that there
wasn't
any promising lead. That little vertical infeeder to the side had
some
small formations in it and looked very much like it would be too
small
to get into, although I have to admit that I decided that it wasn't
worth the pain and risk to actually make it over there and look up
it to
be sure. So, I'm maybe a 96 % sure that it's not passable. All in
all,
the rock was relatively shitty. The typical for that cave (I guess?)
limestone with pockets of soft sandstone-like filling.
Feel free to forward this to Cavetex if you like.
Cheers,
David
