Bisaro but Beautiful - September 20-22nd 2013

A return to push the first dry passage found beyond the sump before the winter snows occurred due to me not being able to afford the helicopter trip to explore a new exiting cave in the Fernie area that club members have been working on. So with a few other members we returned to the area to push the dry passage, resurvey the main cave to give us tie in points for our continued exploration and to recce the upper Karst area above the cave, with hopes of finding a dry upper entrance to the system.

I traveled from Nanaimo to Calgary, got the sat phone, organized gear, and began my obsessive cutting of weight, knowing I had been "volun-told" to be a bottle carrier. In the end a 45-liter bag held all of my gear. Well, on big trips I go light and fast and understand the commitment. If I get cold, I must move faster. If I carry in a jacket, I sleep in it so I can use a lighter sleeping bag etc.
