Rick,

the door at WKPP was and is always open and anyone from Wak2
at anytime could have sought advice on the cave, conditions and lines
etc, so item 1 on you sugestion list is a given and item 2 is what
happens by default but I would suggest various members of the WKPP
did make some noise about what there doing wrong.

What would be interesting to know is did anyone from Wak2 ever call
anyone at WKPP for advice????

Bruce
