Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

Cave skiing, cool. Fifty metre fixed rope ascension, hardcore. Hiking in birkenstocks, priceless! snowHead

Edited to correct the ascent height!

Zero-G, Well spotted...

1 hour into the drive there:

Will (suddenly has a thought): " aaah; I take it you have got trainers or walking boots with you?"
Me: " err, ... yes?"
Will: " aaaahh..."


Still, when you see what porters in various parts of the world will carry with $2 flip flops on their feet then Birkenstocks are positively luxury 4wds in comparison!

Very true. And I'm a fine one to talk, having walked down (and up!) the Gorge of Samaria in Crete wearing flip-flops.

offpisteskiing, too true about porters' footwear.

Do forgive my non-technical description of that ascent. What would you call it, a "free air ascent"? I once did a paltry 3m ascent like that, which left every muscle in my body shaking with exertion. So, I am truly impressed you did 50m Cool

It's not that difficult with the right gear. Cavers are MUCH better at ascending free hanging ropes than climbers. When I was into the sport in the 1980s the record for ascending 100 feet on a free hanging rope was around 28 or 29 seconds.

Definitely not that easy with a prusik. And it was my first attempt at tying a prusik, so I think it was largely the fault of my ropework abilities at the time.

I'm still impressed with the 50m ascent, whatever the equipment.

Ffft. It's not true ski-lunking without man-eating sharks and a curtain of fire.

Zero-G, I used to use a prusik and a shunt for getting back up to a bridge that we used to use for a top rope anchor on a gorge. It certainly took it out of me and that was only 40 odd feet rolling eyes
