<h2>Y KeyKey Beach</h2>
|
|
|
|
|
|
2010-08-08 22:54:25 +01:00
|
|
|
<p>If the passage straight ahead is taken from the water collecting pool,
|
|
|
|
|
a 2m climb up rotten calcite leads (past [2007-258-4-A], LHW) to an unusual
|
2010-08-07 11:13:01 +01:00
|
|
|
critical-angle pile of 10cm diameter rocks <strong>Y KeyKey Beach</strong>.
|
|
|
|
|
The narrowing at the top of this pile
|
|
|
|
|
(it gets close to the roof) has a stonking gale coming through it. Just
|
|
|
|
|
beyond this where the passage widens to 8m, behind the large rock on the left
|
2010-08-08 23:41:29 +01:00
|
|
|
is the hidden entrance to <strong>Rhubarb Crumbly</strong>, leading to the
|
|
|
|
|
lower levels via String Theory and the northern areas via Max Pleasure.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2012-09-04 17:07:15 +01:00
|
|
|
<p>On the right, at the widening, is a shallow pit [2007-258-*05-C]
|
|
|
|
|
[Has this been ticked off? Or does it need to be put into tunnel and the QM list? - Becka Lawson].</p>
|
2010-08-07 11:13:01 +01:00
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Ahead the comfortable passage only goes for about 20m before reaching the
|
2010-08-08 23:41:29 +01:00
|
|
|
edge of a huge shaft undercutting the RH wall <b>The Thin Red Line</b>. An airy
|
2010-08-07 11:13:01 +01:00
|
|
|
traverse to the left of this reaches another hole on the left down,
|
|
|
|
|
apparently into the same pitch[2007-258-89-B]. Immediately ahead is another
|
2010-08-07 22:02:29 +01:00
|
|
|
large hole [2007-258-91-A]. Up is a large aven (30m+ [2007-258-98-X]. There appears to be a continuation across the
|
|
|
|
|
other side - a long bolted traverse away[2007-258-92-B].[Needs continuing - Ollie Stevens and Becka Lawson]</p>

|
|
|
|
|
<p>Climbing down behind a large rock in Littoral North gives access to nice
|
|
|
|
|
walking passage floored with dark dirt, trending NNW. A strong breeze
|
|
|
|
|
blows in. After 40m the passage passes over a cross-joint forming a
|
|
|
|
|
pitch that can be seen through a very small hole in the floor[2007-258-26B]. Would
|
|
|
|
|
need capping to get in. Immediately beyond a C2 gets into almost
|
|
|
|
|
perfectly straight passage with some popcord on the walls. At the end
|
|
|
|
|
is a wider T-junction. Down to the left is a stoop into a
|
|
|
|
|
boulder-floored chamber containing a too-tight crawl on the left and
|
|
|
|
|
two small avens [2007-258-21-X] (at 1st corner), [2007-258-20-X] (at
|
|
|
|
|
end). To the right is another T-junction only 5m further on. Right is
|
2010-08-09 09:57:02 +01:00
|
|
|
<a href="max.html">Max Pleasure</a> leading to the northern areas of the cave.
|
|
|
|
|
Left is <a href="dubious.html">Dubious Pleasure</a>,
|
|
|
|
|
which takes the draught, and leads to the lower levels of the cave via
|
|
|
|
|
String Theory.</p>

2010-08-09 09:57:02 +01:00
|
|
|
<p>Back at the water collecting pool,
|
|
|
|
|
to the left (west) a passage leads almost immediately to a tricky climb
|
|
|
|
|
(rope recommended)
|
|
|
|
|
up to
|
|
|
|
|
the right. This gains a further muddy passage, which draughts inwards
|
|
|
|
|
strongly, leading after about 50 metres to a balcony at the
|
|
|
|
|
head of the 100m
|
|
|
|
|
deep pitch <b>The Usual Suspects</b>. This pitch is wet, and
|
|
|
|
|
is impassible in times of high water (a party was marooned beneath it in
|
|
|
|
|
2009), and is now superceded by the route via
|
|
|
|
|
<b>String Theory</b>. Across the pitch head may be seen a window accessible
|
|
|
|
|
via the route to String Theory.
