Background[edit]
David Noble says: explored by Chris Cosgrove (SUBW) on a solo walk in Dec 72. He returned later (Jan 73) on another solo trip and completed three abseils(!) but had insufficient rope for a fourth abseil. He returned in March 74 with Tim Herborn (SUBW) and Nick Bendelli (UNSWBWC) with "three ropes, bolts, and miles of sling". They found two abseils. Nick Bendelli placed two bolts above the second drop. (Kameruka Vol 13 No 1)
