<P><B>Bonsai Crawl</B> joins at a point where <b>The Colonnade</b>, a wide walking passage with a boulder floor, makes a sharp turn. To the right the passage comes to a chamber-like crossroads. To the left is an initially walking-sized tube [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-41"
name=qC2000-204-41>C2000-204-41 A</A>] and to the right a low draughting crawl [<A
href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-42" name=qC2000-204-42>C2000-204-42 B</A>]. <b>The Colonnade</b> continues 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.shtml#C2000-204-43" name=qC2000-204-43>C2000-204-43 Dig</A>]. The passage then becomes small with a possible aven [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-44"
name=qC2000-204-44>C2000-204-44 X</A>], a tight rift [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-45"
name=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.shtml#C2000-204-49"
name=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.shtml#C2000-204-46" name=qC2000-204-46>C2000-204-46 C</A>], [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-47" name=qC2000-204-47>C2000-204-47 C</A>] and an aven [<A
href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-48" name=qC2000-204-48>C2000-204-48 X</A>]. Water was flowing down one of these, possibly to the waterfall entering the chamber in <b>No Pain No Gain</b>. At this time in 2000 it had not rained on the surface for 8 days. Back where <B>Bonsai Crawl</B> enters, the passage goes straight on with a number of minor passages to the sides. These are a crawl to the left [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-15" name=qC2000-204-15>C2000-204-15 C</A>]; then some distance further on, another crawl on the left [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-16" name=qC2000-204-16>C2000-204-16 B</A>] leading from a trench in the passage; a small passage on the right [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-17" name=qC2000-204-17>C2000-204-17 C</A>] that links to [<A
href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-21" name=qC2000-204-21>C2000-204-21 C</A>]; and a crawl high up to the left [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-18" name=qC2000-204-18>C2000-204-18 C</A>]. A short distance further a walking-size passage goes to the left [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-19" name=qC2000-204-19>C2000-204-19 C</A>]. The main passage then forks: to the left is [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-20" name=qC2000-204-20>C2000-204-20 C</A>] whilst to the right the passage continues past a high up crawl [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-21" name=qC2000-204-21>C2000-204-21 C</A>], and then possibly [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-22" name=qC2000-204-22>C2000-204-22 C</A>]. The main passage then pops out into<a href="treeumphant.shtml#treeumphantpassage"><B>Treeumphant Passage</B></a>.

<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#C2000-204-24" name=qC2000-204-24>C2000-204-24 A</A>], as well as a high up crawl to the right [<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 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>.

<P><B>Treeumphant Passage</B> disappears into an approx 5m drop [<A 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

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 href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-31" name=qC2000-204-31>C2000-204-31 B</A>], as well as a passage to the right [<A 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 offit [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-34" name=qC2000-204-34>C2000-204-34 B</A>], as well as an aven [<A 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 href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-36" name=qC2000-204-36>C2000-204-36 C</A>], [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-37" name=qC2000-204-37>C2000-204-37 C</A>] before the passage enters <B>Cave Tree Chamber</B>.

<P>There is a climb down of about 2m into <B>Cave Tree Chamber</B>, which has a bouldery floor on
2002-08-08 20:09:08 +01:00
the left, and a pitch on the right [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-39" name=qC2000-204-39>C2000-204-39 B</A>]. An aven extends above [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-38" name=qC2000-204-38>C2000-204-38 X</A>], and the passage may continue over the pitch [<A href="qm.shtml#C2000-204-40"
name=qC2000-204-40>C2000-204-40 A</A>]. It would be advisable to protect this traverse.
