Cave description:
End of POV:
Next pitchhead is very tight and awkward. Traverse out till round corner.
Climb into slot down 1m then along another metre to bit wide enough to
descend. Pitch is 10m to larger floor. Against back wall a damp 5m descent
is possible to where watter disappears into slot. At rope 6m further decent
is possible. Very tight and grabby at the top - major PITA on return.
UNfortunately at this level pith series finally does become unquestionably
too tight.
QM? (over far side at top of Eiscream pitches):
Swing over from 3m below window. Large thread for rigging. Climb over thread
into rift, which descends 10m past a couple of narrowings 5m more rift can
be seen but is too tight to reach the floor. Water can be heard at the NW
end but again it's too tight to get to it.
South Utsira:
>From the T junction in North utsira you can turn right and climb up the steep
passage 20m. At the top a narrow tube goes up (05C). there is a window into
a aven and above it a 4m chimney which appears to connect with the passage
leading off from the topof the aven (04C). A passage leads round tothe left
to emerge on a bridge between two avens. You can climb up to the L over a
large chocked boulder and thus into a passage 7m up the western aven. 03X is
the top of this aven.
