from which one can continue right or straight on.< / p >
< p > < i >
To the right the passage comes to a chamber-like crossroads. To the left is an
initially walking-sized tube, < a href = "#sucker" > Sucker< / a > , and to the right a low draughting
crawl, < a href = "nopain.html#flopsy" > Flopsy the Bunny Rabbit's Lair< / a > , which connects back to
< a href = "nopain.html#insignificantchamber" > Insignificant Chamber< / a > . The
Colonnade continues straight on, and a stream joins from the left. Further
along on the left is a pile of stones which must originate from a passage [< a
href="qm.html#C2000-204-43" id="qC2000-204-43">C2000-204-43 Dig< / a > ]. The
passage then becomes small with a possible aven [< a
href="qm.html#C2000-204-44" id="qC2000-204-44">C2000-204-44 X< / a > ], a tight
rift [< a href = "qm.html#C2000-204-45" id = "qC2000-204-45" > C2000-204-45 B< / a > ],
and a crawl down and to the right. The crawl emerges into a chamber, with a
possible way on over rocks directly ahead [< a href = "qm.html#C2000-204-49"
id="qC2000-204-49">C2000-204-49 C< / a > ]. The chamber gets larger to the right,
where there are two tight rifts leading off [< a href = "qm.html#C2000-204-46"
id="qC2000-204-46">C2000-204-46 C< / a > ], [< a href = "qm.html#C2000-204-47"

href="qm.html#C2000-204-48" id="qC2000-204-48">C2000-204-48 X< / a > ]. Water was
flowing down one of these, possibly to the waterfall entering the chamber in

it had not rained on the surface for 8 days.< / i > < / p >

2005-11-07 14:56:13 +00:00
< p > The main passage then forks: to the left is blind whilst to
2005-05-20 01:01:37 +01:00
the right the passage continues past a high up crawl [< a

possibly [< a href = "qm.html#C2000-204-22" id = "qC2000-204-22" > C2000-204-22

at a narrow angle. Doubling back sharp left leads to a boulder slope. Ascending
this leads to a fork; the left branch is blind and the right branch ends
shortly afterwards in a choked chamber. In the other direction, Treeumphant
Passage continues over large boulders, sloping slightly upwards. There is a
walking passage off to the left which goes to < a href = "#crowningglory" > Crowning

[< a href = "qm.html#C2005-204-48" id = "qC2005-204-48" > C2005-204-48 D< / a > ]< / i > . The passage then increases in height
2004-04-28 19:20:22 +01:00
approaching a sharp turn to the right. Here a walking size passage continues
straight on, connecting with < a href = "#crowningglory" > Crowning Glory< / a > , and
there may be an aven in the ceiling [< a
href="qm.html#C2000-204-27" id="qC2000-204-27">C2000-204-27 X< / a > ]. The main
passage passes possibly diggable holes at floor level [< a
href="qm.html#C2000-204-29" id="qC2000-204-29">C2000-204-29 Dig< / a > ], and

id="qC2000-204-33">C2000-204-33 X< / a > ]. < i > A traverse across the left-hand wall
reaches a passage on the far side which is choked after 40m. There is also as a
passage to the right [< a href = "qm.html#C2000-204-30"
id="qC2000-204-30">C2000-204-30 C< / a > ].< / i > Just before the drop there is a
bouldery slope up to another, smaller, walking size passage. There is an oxbow
2005-05-28 23:44:32 +01:00
to the left, with a possible passage leading off at roof level (nontrivial to reach, would need 1 or 2 bolts and rock is awful -[< a
href="qm.html#C2000-204-34" id="qC2000-204-34">C2000-204-34 C< / a > ]), as well as
2004-04-28 19:20:22 +01:00
an aven [< a href = "qm.html#C2000-204-35" id = "qC2000-204-35" > C2000-204-35
X< / a > ]. There are a couple of digs to the left slightly further on; the first
2006-02-14 22:30:08 +00:00
led to 15m of passage with no leads, while the second has not been explored [< a href = "qm.html#C2000-204-37"
id="qC2000-204-37">C2000-204-37 C< / a > ]. The main passage continues into < a

< p > This is another substantial chamber, accessed by a climb down of about 2m.
2004-09-15 23:21:47 +01:00
It has a bouldery floor on the left, and a pitch on the right, descended at
least partially by MikeTA in 2001 [< a href = "qm.html#C2000-204-39"
id="qC2000-204-39">C2000-204-39 B< / a > ]. An aven extends above [< a
href="qm.html#C2000-204-38" id="qC2000-204-38">C2000-204-38 X< / a > ], which is
the 204c entrance discovered by Duncan and MikeTA in 2001; this has not been
used since as it is exceedingly loose and dangerous. The passage continues over
the pitch (via a traverse that needs rigging) to < a

< p > From < a href = "#cavetreechamber" > Cave Tree Chamber< / a > , an exposed climb (a
traverse line is a sensible precaution) above a pitch gains a comfortably
proportioned walking passage, which ascends steadily. After 20 metres, the
passage turns sharp left; here there are two unpromising leads, a narrow rift
[< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-39" id = "qC2001-204-39" > C2001-204-39 C< / a > ] to the
right and straight ahead a possible opening in a pocket just above head-height
[< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-40" id = "qC2001-204-40" > C2001-204-40 C< / a > ]. The
passage continues to climb, turning sharp right and again sharp left, to reach
a pile of breakdown over which it is possible to crawl. Some 40 metres beyond
the breakdown there are two crawls on the left, which become too tight.
Another 30 metres reaches a climb down into the base of an aven [< a
href="qm.html#C2001-204-42" id="qC2001-204-42">C2001-204-42 X< / a > ].< / p >
< p > There are two ways on from the aven; straight ahead leads after 30 metres to
a pitch [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-38" id = "qC2001-204-38" > C2001-204-38 A< / a > ]
with an aven [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-41" id = "qC2001-204-41" > C2001-204-41
X< / a > ] above it, and a continuing passage [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-37"
id="qC2001-204-37">C2001-204-37 B< / a > ] on the far side. Back at the aven, a
climb up on the left (handline useful) gains a short section of passage to
another climb down into a small chamber.< / p >
< p > Again there are two ways on; to the left leads after 25 metres to a choke,
but there is a small hole in the north wall half-way along [< a
href="qm.html#C2001-204-36" id="qC2001-204-36">C2001-204-36 C< / a > ], while back
in the chamber a climb up straight ahead (handline useful) leads after 15
metres to a T-junction. To the right ascends and enlarges for 20 metres before
reaching a draughting choke with a narrow gap between the rocks and the ceiling
[< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-43" id = "qC2001-204-43" > C2001-204-43 Dig< / a > ]. To
the left the passage soon swings right to where a false floor of boulders
conceals a pitch [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-44"
id="qC2001-204-44">C2001-204-44 B< / a > ]. Traversing carefully over the pitch, a
climb up leads to the head of another pitch. Here, a very strongly draughting
tube on the right soon reaches a blockage [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-35"
id="qC2001-204-35">C2001-204-35 Dig< / a > ], while a traverse across the pitch to
an apparent continuation merely gains an alcove. The pitch is 7 metres; at the
bottom a short crawl leads to a small chamber containing 'The Eleven Second
Rattle' [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-34" id = "qC2001-204-34" > C2001-204-34 A< / a > ],
a pitch down which stones clatter for a Long Time (measured with a
stopwatch).< / p >

2006-02-14 22:30:08 +00:00
climb up at the end, followed by a pitch of approximately 5m. At the bottom of this is a
2005-05-19 20:56:38 +01:00
blind pit; walking up a boulder slope on the other side of this leads to a
further drop, descended in 2003 with a tackle-sack rope protector. To the left
2005-05-20 01:01:37 +01:00
was a rift with an aven (went 3m). In the LH wall, 2m up, was a small crawl [< a

Germknö dels' Revenge is the short connection between the 204e and 204f
entrances and the Treeumphant end of Boulder Coaster. < b > 204e< / b > is a low
square hole in the face of a cliff. From here a low passage leads down and to
the right. A short climb down and up again brings one to the top of the pitch.
The (awkward) passage from 204f is a small tube sloping uphill at ~45° on
2006-02-14 22:30:08 +00:00
the right, and there is also a possible undocumented QM across the top of the shaft.< / p >
2004-04-28 19:20:22 +01:00
< p > < b > 204f< / b > is a hole in a pile of boulders a few metres up the surface
gully from 204e. A small tube descends towards 204e via a couple of bouldery
2006-02-14 22:30:08 +00:00
squeezes, passing an unexplored side branch [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-102"
id="qC2001-204-102">C2001-204-102 C< / a > ]. The tube becomes steeper with
a black space beyond. A light shone down this tube reveals that it connects to
the top of the pitch reached from 204e; it was not thought worth the
considerable bother of rigging this route.< / p >

A backup and Y-hang are followed by a rebelay or short deviation next to a

window into a parallel shaft (There may be undocumented QMs in this shaft). The
pitch narrows below the deviation, to a rebelay where it bells out to several

2006-02-14 22:30:08 +00:00
after which a small crumbly tube goes of to the left [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-56"
2005-05-20 01:01:37 +01:00
id="qC2001-204-56">C2001-204-56 C< / a > ]. Further on a passage is reached, with
an aven above where < a href = "swings.html#crestarun" > Cresta Run< / a > , the
2005-11-07 14:56:13 +00:00
connection with Swings and Roundabouts, drops in. (In 2005 this was the main
trade route into Cresta Run, but it needs to be rigged from above by a party
going via Swings.) The passage to the right soon
2005-05-20 01:01:37 +01:00
turns left, going downhill to a junction. Straight on is a small passage
2005-11-07 14:56:13 +00:00
(blind). Turning left leads to a junction
2005-05-20 01:01:37 +01:00
with the downhill passage of the previous chamber. Continuing downwards, a
2005-11-07 14:56:13 +00:00

pitch head passages go to the left and right but are too tight. The pitch is 8m
deep and can be climbed down, and spirals around on itself, ending in boulders,
and a visible way on through the boulders [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-59"

< p > A sandy crawl (formerly QM 2001-14B) leads to a small passage. This closes off up + to the right; the main way goes past a dead furry bat to a sandy hole which was dug out in 2003. This tube goes up steeply. At the top, straight ahead leads up into small chamber, with a pitch up + to the right from there [< a href = "qm.html#C2003-204-32" id = "qC2003-204-32" > C2003-204-32 C< / a > ]. On the left is another rift/pitch which probably links to the first one [< a href = "qm.html#C2003-204-33" id = "qC2003-204-33" > C2003-204-33 B< / a > ]. The main way from the sandy tube follows the draft to the left, along a crawling tube past a couple of not-bad straws into a small chamber. There is a thin, deep, narrow rift to the right (leading to a small shaft?). Ahead, there is a nasty loose hole to left but the main way is under a low wall + crawl up a ramp on the right side. Over a loose boulder wall, to the right went to a pitch head with a huge boulder perched on top [< a href = "qm.html#C2003-204-35" id = "qC2003-204-35" > C2003-204-35 B< / a > ]. It's possible to free-climb down this rift to the left to a drippy floor, and Martin climbed a further 2m below this without reaching the bottom of the shaft (doesn't look promising though). Various tubes above pitch head probably don't go [< a href = "qm.html#C2003-204-34" id = "qC2003-204-34" > C2003-204-34 C< / a > ] [< a href = "qm.html#C2003-204-36" id = "qC2003-204-36" > C2003-204-36 C< / a > ]. The main way is to the left after the boulder wall, crawling to the edge of a ramp, passing a small passage on right [< a href = "qm.html#C2003-204-37" id = "qC2003-204-37" > C2003-204-37 C< / a > ]. < em > It is possible to climb down to the left. At the bottom, on the left is a nasty loose pitch-head [< a href = "qm.html#C2003-204-38" id = "qC2003-204-38" > C2003-204-38 B< / a > ]. Ahead, clamber over boulders. At the far end, a small passage leads off + up but gets too small. Climbing up + to the left, a solution tube in the roff can be followed for several metres to the top of an aven before closing down.< / em > The main way on at the ramp is across + up to a small sandy tube. Continuing down this + to right, passing a small QM on left [< a href = "qm.html#C2003-204-39" id = "qC2003-204-39" > C2003-204-39 C< / a > ], leads to a crawly passage with odd boulders in it needing gardening + more bat skeletons; this in turn leads up + past final squeeze into a quite large drippy rift. This continues to the left [< a href = "qm.html#C2003-204-40" id = "qC2003-204-40" > C2003-204-40 C< / a > ]; to the right it is possible to climb up two levels (first one a rather dodgy free climb) until it becomes too hard to up-climb, but aven continues up beyond this point [< a href = "qm.html#C2003-204-41" id = "qC2003-204-41" > C2003-204-41 C< / a > ].

< p > An initially walking passage branching off from < a href = "#thecolonnade" > The
Colonnade< / a > , which soon degenerates to crawling. After 15m, a 1m diameter
tube continues straight on [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-33"
id="qC2001-204-33">C2001-204-33 B< / a > ], whilst the explored route turns right.
After another 30m a small passage bears to the right [< a
href="qm.html#C2001-204-24" id="qC2001-204-24">C2001-204-24 C< / a > ]. A further
15m leads to a small chamber with large dubious boulders on a sloping floor.
Straight on is [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-25" id = "qC2001-204-25" > C2001-204-25
C< / a > ], and there is a pitch in the floor [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-101"
id="qC2001-204-101">C2001-204-101 B< / a > ], which can be stepped over. This leads
to a key hole passage with a rift disappearing on the right [< a
href="qm.html#C2001-204-32" id="qC2001-204-32">C2001-204-32 C< / a > ], which may
be descendible. The key hole passage then turns right, straight on at this
point a small stream enters, where there is an aven above [< a
href="qm.html#C2001-204-27" id="qC2001-204-27">C2001-204-27 X< / a > ], and a flat
out crawl entering from the right [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-26"
id="qC2001-204-26">C2001-204-26 C< / a > ] , this ends in a mud floored chamber
with an aven [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-28" id = "qC2001-204-28" > C2001-204-28
X< / a > ]. Continuing along the key hole passage, a passage intersects, and the
keyhole passage becomes blocked. To the right, another passage intersects which
quickly becomes too tight in both directions, the passage continues straight on
to a small partially mud filled passage [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-29"
id="qC2001-204-29">C2001-204-29 C< / a > ]. To the left a body sized passage
continues to a T junction with continuations [< a href = "qm.html#C2001-204-30"
