Tunnel Cave - 16 Mar 2008

Didn't like it :( Big exposed traverse with a fixed line you can't rely on. Free climbs over smooth calcite flows with water running over them and a big (mahoosive) drop below and nasty awkward overhanging exposed climbs around protruding obstacles.

We didn't have enough rope either, so it was free climb time all over.

We made it all the way to the uPVC patio door which goes through to Cathederal Show Cave, through which we could hear classical music - quite fun. Would make a good through trip.

Rather too exposed for my liking but everyone else loved it enough to go back later in the week! Not one for me but if you like exposed traversing you'll love it :)
