Down the ladder, through the grotty entrance crawl down the squeeze and into top of Deep Space. A lot of water! Thought twice about it, but went for it. Was in that grey area between fun, a bit silly and dangerous. Got soaked to the skin on the descent so only went as far as Bag of Worms before holding breath and jamming back up double-quick. Could do with a 3rd rope-protector just before the pitch opens up. Put a deviation in, but didn’t really work well. Still rubs a bit. Impressive place though. Will have to go back in the dry to see the rest – and take our time on the pitch next time.
Swallowed quite a bit of grotty water on the way up, so will probably get cow-flu next week. (Rob, Mike)
