<b>Location:</b> In the right hand side of a 15m diameter couloir near <a
|
|
|
|
|
href="162.htm">162</a>. E 36480.6, N 82115.5
|
|

|
|
<p>The <a href="../years/1988/log.htm">1988 log book</a> refers to this
|
|
|
|
|
cave as "Adam's Hole (1)".
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This is a fairly small cave remnant, but it does have a draught at the end
|
|
|
|
|
suggesting more passage beyond.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The entrance is low and wide (3.5m) and descends down a rocky slope for
|
|
|
|
|
20m to some impressive ice stals. There is a small tube in the roof on the
|
|
|
|
|
right through which daylight can be seen. The cave extends another 10m past
|
|
|
|
|
the ice stals in fossil passage until it chokes. A 3m climb up on the left
|
|
|
|
|
allows access to a tiny rift which can be climbed down for a few uninspiring
|
|
|
|
|
metres.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>5m back from the ice stals, towards the entrance, there is a stoop under a
|
|
|
|
|
massive boulder forming the left wall. Here is a 3m climb down into the
|
|
|
|
|
second part of the cave. Downslope from here is a chamber with a small
|
|
|
|
|
frozen stream running through it and a choked alcove containing another ice
|
|
|
|
|
stal beyond the stream. The chamber through which the stream 'flows' appears
|
|
|
|
|
to have been formed by the entire roof falling about 1.5m in one piece and
|
|
|
|
|
it is possible to climb beneath this huge rock near the way in. Over on the
|
|
|
|
|
right is a climb through an eyehole to a 3m climb down into a stream rift.
|
|
|
|
|
This has a howling draught coming out of it but it is too small to get down
|
|
|
|
|
- although the heavy application of a hammer might do the trick.
