Rescue dump

There is a small risk that movement of the boulder chokes between the Red Room and easySqueeze could result in a party finding themselves trapped until help could arrive. Additionally, an injured caver could expect a long delay before a rescue party could be raised to assist. Therefore a Rescue Dump has been created in the Departure Lounge. This consists of 3 Darren drums, with the following contents.
