The top 32m pitch of Keg Series was rigged in 2004 by swinging across into the
|
|
|
|
|
obvious horizontal passage about 17m down. At the end of this short passage, a
|
|
|
|
|
further pitch is reached (C2004-76-46B), before this and on the left a pitch
|
|
|
|
|
descends to re-join the original route at the bottom (this route is much better
|
|
|
|
|
protected from loose rocks). The second pitch continues below with at least on
|
|
|
|
|
natural deviation necessary to keep the rope away from the wall. 24m later a
|
|
|
|
|
ledge is reached; from here the third (26m) pitch can be rigged, with a
|
|
|
|
|
deviation (bolt) shortly below. At the base of this pitch is a large ledge, to
|
|
|
|
|
the SE is a short drop leading to some water (C2004-76-51C). To the NW a 5m
|
|
|
|
|
pitch leads to a junction, below and on the left is a small sump, to the right
|
|
|
|
|
is a short crawl leading to a junction with a small stream, upstream looks
|
|
|
|
|
small (C2004-76-50C) and downstream continues for at least 5m but becomes quite
|
|
|
|
|
tight (C2004-76-49C). The main way on is along a rift above the sump, Razor
|
|
|
|
|
Prance. After 18m of tortuous rift, Razor Prance ends at an un-descended pitch
|
|
|
|
|
(C2004-76-52A), razor prance may continue beyond this (C2004-76-48C). There is
|
|
|
|
|
a window in the west wall of the final Keg Series Pitch, which may provide an
|
|
|
|
|
alternative route into Razor Prance, C2004-76-47A.
