MAYA BLUE LINE MARKING TRIAL
Aug 28, 2020
Over the months of June and July, the CREER Line Committee, in combination with local volunteers, completes a line replacement in Cenote Maya Blue through all the areas accessible with a set of doubles. Major changes include:
• The gold line in A Tunnel is completely removed, and replaced with #24 braided white line. The gold line was in sufficiently bad condition that it disintegrated upon removal.
• The white “laundry line” in B Tunnel was replaced with #24 braided white lines. It was in reasonable condition but had zero stretch to accommodate marker replacement.
• The rest of the poor condition lines were replaced with #24 braided white line.
• An experimental line marking system was implemented as explained in the graphic below. We are awaiting community feedback. If approved, this will be the go-to method for line replacements in popular caves.
