Sensational work mate. One of your best yet. When your rapelling get a rope bag and carabiner it onto the accessories loop on the back of your harness. Leaving rope on the ground will almost definately damage it.

Tks for taking us on that explore! A question please - with Raises and Winzes - did they blast the rock upwards or downwards (better use of gravity). Do you understand what I mean! If they blasted the holes downwards, then how did they know that they would successfully intercept with, for example, the main haulage drift or another level?

[@Off_Course_Explorations]

The raises were generally driven from below, winzes driven from above. Winzes were generally more of an internal shaft, exploring the vein from a level. They did extensive surveying both above and below ground, so raises connecting levels were calculated. Sometimes the drifts and raises were all in the same vein, so being sure of a connection was much easier unless they hit a fault.
