- Found it
Really not the best day for this, heavy overnight rain and still raining lightly now. I would normally free climb this but the wet moss was making things sufficiently slippery that I felt i needed to be supported, so I threw a rope over.
But even that nearly went wrong, the wet moss in the Vee saturated the rope, and the saturated bit moved down the side I was climbing as the rope took up my weight. Then when I came to descend, the GriGri just did not want to move while it was in this saturated part. Had to rerig the ascended and take the weight off the GriGri in order to lower myself past it, onto a drier section.
The cache is a bison, so high chance the log would be wet. And it turned out to be a bison with no O ring, so a 100% chance it would be wet. And it was.
Thanks for the cache,
Rgds, Andy
