Marble Steps?

The picture is too small to see anything clearly.

Sorry Langcliffe, tried to put a bigger version but it put it on its side.

It is indeed the window on Dome pitch in Lost Johns, all yours Fjell.

That seems a bit of a Verstappen Moment given the last time I was in that spot I was using Langcliffes topo.

I am getting very light on photos of the Dales, but here is a very old one of a students arse. I can only hope the available rig has improved. It is not an obscure cave.

Rift pot?
Pitch down the block after the ent pitch?

 

[Fjell]

Yes!

 

[skippy]

OK, try this.
The helmet is off for a reason, given the dimensions of the passage I'm exiting from.

The high level connection crawl in Old Ing Cave.
I have forgot the name and have never tried it 

 

[skippy]

That's it.. 'Micks end'

How big is your helmet? I've never taken mine off for Mick's End!

 

[Ian P]

An easy one

Funny you should say that. I have a Ecrin Roc and I think I'm one of the few cavers who doesn't like it(despite using one for years). I find its over wide and gets jammed very easily. I thinking of trying to get hold of another Elios of which I prefer or trying the Boreo.

As someone who quite simply struggles in anything approaching snug, I find Mick's End not too bad. Having said that I've only ever been from Dismal Hill to Old Ing and that starts as hands and knees so I am making progress before realising I am in snug. I don't take my helmet off though.  I miss that trip, looking forward to better relations with the farmers.

Is the dummy and attachment strap a Petzl accessory these days? Not so back in the day.

Our youngest once spent three weeks in a harness with some climbing rope tied from the back to something solid. Keeps them where you want them for sure. Also handy to have a lifting strap.

 

[Ian P]

Clue time.
Its a REALLY easy cave next to another really easy cave

 

[kay]

It's the crawling on gravel bit that doesn't feel familiar (I'm presuming that'd be a hands and knees crawl for me). So I don't think it's Runscar/Thistle. Roger Kirk possibly? But that's not particularly near to either Rinscar/Thistle or Gunnerfleet.

Answering not because I'm hoping to get it right but because I want to know where it is, and I don't want the thread to die without someone getting it right or you telling us.

Hi Kay

Close enough, you mentioned the cave 

Yes it?s Thistle Cave 

The tiny caver prefers Thistle as she can independently manage more of it than Runscar.

Over to you.

Damn! I?ve got to find a pic, and then remember the tortuous process for uploading pics. I?ll have a go tonight
