00:00 - 00:03My Fuhrer this map
00:04 - 00:05is a centreline survey
00:05 - 00:07of the Loser plateau
00:08 - 00:12Showing the Schönberg to the NORTH WEST
00:12 - 00:15And Balkonhoele trending towards it
00:17 - 00:19So we should be pushing
00:19 - 00:21to the North West of SMK
00:24 - 00:26My Fuhrer
00:27 - 00:28People are concerned
00:31 - 00:33the leads are getting too deep
00:34 - 00:36the people prefer KH.
00:53 - 00:58If you'd rather go to KH, leave the hut.
01:13 - 01:15Its the wrong fucking direction
01:15 - 01:17Why are we pushing leads there?
01:18 - 01:23They pushed all those leads 20 years ago!
01:25 - 01:28Can nobody read a map?
01:29 - 01:31There's still Gruffalo :(
01:31 - 01:34There are so many A leads in Balkon
01:34 - 01:37Huge drafting passage!
01:37 - 01:40And they're going in the right fucking direction!
01:40 - 01:42My Fuhrer people don't want to camp
01:42 - 01:46Its an extremely civilised camp!
01:46 - 01:48My Fuhrer, they don't want to poo in bags
01:48 - 01:52That's the best thing about camping!
01:53 - 01:54You can compete for wrapping it smallest!
01:56 - 01:57I don't care how many bags it takes
01:57 - 02:00We have all those lovely underground meals
02:00 - 02:03we have hundreds and they expire in two years
02:04 - 02:08Everyone can sleep in shifts
02:08 - 02:13two to a sleeping bag if necessary
02:14 - 02:16until the connection is made!
02:17 - 02:21Fucking leads in the fucking south-east
02:27 - 02:29It is not a good use
02:30 - 02:34of our resources
02:34 - 02:36to be caving in Kaninchenhoele
02:41 - 02:42or Anfangergluckenhoele
02:43 - 02:47I've had some really lovely trips in Balkon
02:48 - 02:53I've found some incredible bits of cave
02:54 - 02:56The ropes are in excellent condition
02:56 - 02:59The rumours of mud are mostly unfounded
03:00 - 03:02The rebelays are all trivial!
03:04 - 03:07You had a very heavy bag :(
03:14 - 03:16People were so keen four years ago
03:19 - 03:23Everyone wanted to do Balkon
03:25 - 03:26the misery...
03:31 - 03:33the mud...
03:40 - 03:46it's all I ever wanted.
03:46 - 03:49I can't be alone in this.
03:53 - 03:56Balkon is wonderful.
