# 1623/87: second pitch

The second pitch of 1623/87 starts as a small hole following a steeply dipping roof tube where the floor of the entrance chamber is almost choked by boulders. Nick Thorne is seen here emerging from the tube into the chamber having passed the main takeoff bolt which is a short way below his feet.
