Oral / Exploration, Main EuroSpeleo Conference

Mr Andy Chapman

Summary

PESH was launched following the historic 2013 British-led expedition to Sistema Huautla organized by Chris Jewell. PESH co-leaders Bill Steele and Tommy Shifflett joined that expedition and decided to organize PESH to conduct annual expeditions for a decade. Their 2016 expedition was the third of those. The presentation will cover what's been done so far and give a summary on 50 years of caving in the Huautla area.
