<underground_description><p>The entrance is a body sized triangular hole. This has been dug for about 3 metres until squeezing up into a small junction called rotten toe junction. It is spacious kneeling height.
<p>Straight ahead is an upwards passage that choked out after 11 metres, however to the right there is an exciting tube with a beautiful draft. It is a grippy sharp tube hat veers left with a good echo that leads into a loose descending, freeclimbable passage called 'It's not loose if you're not looking' and it drops down in steps getting larger until a thrutchy 4 metre climb into a disappointing chamber called Knuckleduster chamber with a small 5cm high bedding plane at one end and at the other a human width 45 degree angle descending passage.
<p>The passage is choked and has been dug to no avail. Overall the cave seemed promising with a wonderful draft but sadly chokes. May go if dug.</underground_description><!-- Underground description.
