<h2>Treeumphant Passage through to Cave Tree Chamber</h2>
<H3><A name=treeumphantpassage>Treeumphant Passage</A></H3>
<P><B>The Colonnade</B> meets <B>Treeumphant Passage</B> at a narrow angle. In one direction
Treeumphant Passage ends just next to its entrance at 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 going
slightly up hill. There is a walking passage off to the left [<A

href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-25"
name=qC2000-204-25>C2000-204-25 C</A>] and then a tight high passage to the left [<A

href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-26"
name=qC2000-204-26>C2000-204-26 C</A>]. The passage then increases in height approaching a sharp turn
to the right. Here a walking size passage [<A

href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-28"
name=qC2000-204-28>C2000-204-28 A</A>] continues straight on, and there may be an aven in the ceiling [<A
2002-05-26 14:03:59 +01:00
href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-27"
name=qC2000-204-27>C2000-204-27 X</A>]. The main passage passes possibly diggable holes at floor level [<A

href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-29"
name=qC2000-204-29>C2000-204-29 Dig</A>], and continues into <B>Great Oak Chamber</B>.
<H3><A name=greatoakchamber>Great Oak Chamber</A></H3>
<P><B>Treeumphant Passage</B> disappears into an approx 5m drop [<A
2002-05-26 14:03:59 +01:00
href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-32"
name=qC2000-204-32>C2000-204-32 B</A>] in Great Oak Chamber and there is an aven above [<A
2002-05-26 14:03:59 +01:00
href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-33"
name=qC2000-204-33>C2000-204-33 X</A>]. There may be passage continuing straight across the chamber [<A
2002-05-26 14:03:59 +01:00
href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-31"
name=qC2000-204-31>C2000-204-31 B</A>], as well as a passage to the right [<A
2002-05-26 14:03:59 +01:00
href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-30"
name=qC2000-204-30>C2000-204-30 C</A>]. Just before the drop there is a bouldery slope up to another
smaller walking size passage. There is an oxbow to the left, with a possible passage leading off
it [<A

href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-34"
name=qC2000-204-34>C2000-204-34 B</A>], as well as an aven [<A
2002-05-26 14:03:59 +01:00
href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-35"
name=qC2000-204-35>C2000-204-35 X</A>]. There are a couple of possible digs to the left slightly
further on [<A
2002-05-26 14:03:59 +01:00
href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-36"
name=qC2000-204-36>C2000-204-36 C</A>], [<A
2002-05-26 14:03:59 +01:00
href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-37"
name=qC2000-204-37>C2000-204-37 C</A>] before the passage enters <B>Cave Tree Chamber</B>.
<H3><A name=cavetreechamber>Cave Tree Chamber</A></H3>
<P>There is a climb down of about 2m into <B>Cave Tree Chamber</B>, which has a bouldery floor on
the left, and a pitch on the right [<A
2002-05-26 14:03:59 +01:00
href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-39"
name=qC2000-204-39>C2000-204-39 B</A>]. An aven extends above [<A
2002-05-26 14:03:59 +01:00
href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-38"
name=qC2000-204-38>C2000-204-38 X</A>], and the passage may continue over the pitch [<A
2002-05-26 14:03:59 +01:00
href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-40"
name=qC2000-204-40>C2000-204-40 A</A>]. It would be advisable to protect this traverse.
