Titan, Far Sump Extension, Peak/Speedwell - 12/01/2008
Report by Jules Barrett
Cavers: Jules Barrett
(EPC), Richard Tooley (TSG), Ann Soulsby (TSG), Clive Westlake
Titan had been rigged
earlier in the day by the TSG so we enjoyed a straightforward and
speedy descent to the bottom. Once at the bottom RT found that he was
unable to undo his central maillon so didn't go any futher. AS was keen
to scoot back up the rope so did that. JB dropped down into AE passage
in search of Clive Westlake, finding CDW propping up the wall waiting
for someone to turn up. Clive was actually expecting us to turn up from
Peak Cavern so was understandably surprised when I fell out of the
bottom of the Titan choke and into AE passage. An efficient exit was
followed by a pleasant walk down Cave Dale to the TSG hut. We didn't
de-rig Titan as there was the possibility that the TSG lot may need to
exit back this way if the Speedwell Streamway was giving it both
barrels. In the end they didn't so we had to return the following day
for the ropes.
