That was such a fun day, and a long day too. Really cool to make the connection, especially as it makes for a relatively 'simple' alternative exit. I'd love to get back in there and clear that little squeeze out more to get a better air flow for the main mine workings. It was a LONG awkward climb out though. The angle of the incline was too steep to just climb out but angled enough that you couldn't really SRT properly. Next time, I'll send Joanne out first and get her to simply reverse the truck away from the incline and haul me out! 🤠😝 Oh, that little scraper was actually a small purposely made hand scraper,... and complete. We moved it somewhere safe so it didn't get damaged by rock falls.
Long and exhausting days are the best because it means you did some serious exploring! That one ticked a lot of boxes for a great explore... rope work, tight crawls, new ground, and connecting to another mine. We've both been down disappointing mines that went nowhere. Great fun and can't wait for our next adventure!
5:48 Was it that deep or did you use shorter ropes? Ahhh, Tony found a draft, sweet! Oh! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! ^__^ Wow that really just keeps going. "It's a she-wee" 🤣🤣 Oh Tony...
The rope is 165 and we needed another 30 or so to get to the bottom of the incline. By the time we got to the base of the main mine's ladder, we were about 250 across the three rope drops. You remember Tony's humor. It hasn't change. :-)
Awesome adventure
How are you doing Jamie? Glad you enjoyed it. :-)
Happy Thanksgiving everybody 🤘⛏️🇺🇲

Hey buddy, you would have liked that explore although you wouldn't have fitted unfortunately 🤣 Hope you are doing OK. 🤓
@@tonyp6626 that's what you think, I lost 50lb since I last saw you and only gained 15 of it back. I could slither through there easy peasy. :P
