After much deliberation it was decided that Yordas would be the destination for a Sunday trip.

After a swift walk up the hill Alex W swung into action to rig the first middle entrance pitch whilst PJ gave some rope safety lessons to Nathan.
Meanwhile Susan and I had a walk up to the top to look at the top entrance (where I took the opportunity to take photo's of spider webs ).
After coming back down I dropped into the cave to watch, in admiration, Paul G's spider-man technique as he rigged the High level traverse , When he was half way the rope free signal was called and Pete kindly let me go next, Putting all my skill , training and strength into practice I made my way across followed by Pete then Susan. Feeling Quite proud of myself as I got soaked descending to the bottom we stopped for 10 min rest then I was the first to do it all again , in reverse !. Pete de-rigging on way back.
meanwhile Alex was Giving Nathan SRT training as this was his first time Prussiking,

A great afternoon and I have the bruises and aching limbs to prove it .

As Alex and Susan went to pack for Egypt, the rest of us settled for refreshment at Inglesport cafe.



Attended ; Alex W. Susan B. Pete J, Paul G, Paul H, Nathan H

it was indeed a fine trip since ive never been above the water fall in yordas i had decided before going that i wanted to rig the traverse but couldn't find a rigging guide so armed with a 60mtr rope and ALL the mallions from the celler i did it blind at the end of the traverse i looked at the deviation then looked down and thought id miss it as the drop looked ok , well it was apart from the last 8 feet it made for a nice wet landing and ive never seen people prussik so fast to get out of the water

dont know about spider-man more like banana man
