It worked. I guess that I'm not as much of a chessehead as I thought.

I have a picture of my breath-up. I am on the surface holding onto the sides of the hole.

I also have pictures of my ascent back to the surface. If you look closely you can see me holding on to the caribiner in my right hand. Holding on to it made it easier to slip it up the rope. There were a couple of places that I had to slide it over knots and things to get back up. I will improve on this next year.

The last picture is of my fat, smiling mug. Or, it could just be brain freeze
