Last Saturday, a French Caver died while rigging a 300mts deep pit.
Gerard A. (with two cavers) was rigging a 300mts deep pit with 200mts and 8mm
diameter rope. He began to rapell and in some moment lost the control and fell
150mts. His friends look for help. Later the rescueteam found Gerard died.
Until now, nobody knows why Gerard lost the control. More news later.
Gerard was exploring in Chiapas Mex. in 2003 y 2005 in Chorro Grande (Meseta de
Bel�n), San Fernando y Ca��n de Santo Domingo.
Cavers,
This is very unfortunate news for all. Please take a moment to read these
two articles in the BATS Grotto Newsletter on a rappel safty with the coined
name "French Wrap Self Belay". The articles are on pages 8 thru 11.
See ya on rope!
