John Cooper, Pete Hann and Adrian Vanderplank. First we moved rocks from the stacking step to the top alcove. Then we moved rocks up from the bottom to the stacking step. Now we need to move it all on out. Adrian trying out his blood oxygen meter which showed we all had at least as much oxygen in our blood stream when we came out as when we went in. However both Adrian’s and Pete’s heart had virtually stopped on exit (?cold fingers meant readings could not be taken?). 2 hours. John.
