John Cooper, Kate Lawrence, Adrian Vanderplank and Jude Vanderplank. Assisted by Kate, John drilled a row of 5 x 10mm holes 900mm deep vertically into the ledge on the West wall. Adrian then charged them, topped up the holes with water to act as stemming and, after removing the bottom ladder which is now heavier, destroyed them. Should be some rock for Pete to continue wall building at the South end of the entrance shaft on Saturday. 1½ hours. John.
