recommended. Alternatively, the cave may be approached from the summit of HSK -

<P><B>Description:</B>204a entrance is directly opposite a 10m x 3m stone bridge
|
|
|
|
|
|
from which it derives its name. The entrance itself is approximately 8m high and
|
|
|
|
|
|
5m wide, and leads down a boulder slope and round a right hand bend to the top
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the first pitch. 204b entrance is 15m away to the west, and this is the
|
|
|
|
|
|
entrance which is rigged. A 3m climb down (handline useful) leads into the
|
|
|
|
|
|
entrance gully and a ledge at the head of the first pitch, <B>Trick or
|
|
|
|
|
|
Treat</B>, opposite 204a entrance. This loose, sloping pitch of 20m is rigged
|
|
|
|
|
|
from a Y-hang on the right hand wall, with a rebelay and deviation. The pitch is
|
|
|
|
|
|
tedious to prussik on return and is best climbed. The landing is by a large snow
|
|
|
|
|
|
plug with (in 1999) an ice corridor round the edge leading to the top of a
|
|
|
|
|
|
boulder slope. A rift passage on the right becomes too tight.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P><A name=jim>Descending</A> the boulder slope (care required to avoid kicking
|
|
|
|
|
|
rocks off) leads to the head of the second pitch, <B>Jim'll Fix It</B> (18m). An
|
|
|
|
|
|
unexplored passage is visible from the pitch head, which could be accessed by a
|
|
|
|
|
|
bolt traverse round the right hand side of the pitch head

The pitch is rigged from a bolt in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
left hand wall with a deviation from a spit immediately after the pitch head
|
|
|
|
|
|
bolt. This protects a marginal rub point and also avoids a jet of water which
|
|
|
|
|
|
spurts from a crack in the wall after heavy rain. The landing is by a large
|
|
|
|
|
|
pointed snowplug. Landing on top of the snow plug and climbing up 2m to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
right (when facing the wall on which the pitch is rigged) leads to an

|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>From the crossroads, the main route in 1999 was straight ahead, downhill in
|
|
|
|
|
|
mostly stooping height passage with a short section of sandy crawling. After 15m
|
|
|
|
|
|
is a short climb down to the top of a 4m deep pit with a too-tight passage at
|
|
|
|
|
|
the bottom, with the phreatic passage continuing to the right. After a further
|
|
|
|
|
|
10m the passage is intersected by a large rift with a big rock partially
|
|
|
|
|
|
blocking the passage. Climbing up to the right leads back into a tall rift in
|
|
|
|
|
|
the <A href="204.htm#nearside">side
|
|
|
|
|
|
passages</A>. A climb up to the left leads to a passage containing attractive
|

white mud which was not entered, however a visual connection to the <A

continues for 25m with several clear pools in the floor to a widening where most
|
|
|

routes ahead and to the left are choked with boulders. To the right, a body

sized tube leads upwards for ~15m before opening out into a low chamber on the
|
2001-08-15 19:57:28 +01:00
|
|

|
|
|
heightand goes over some old gower pools. The passage continues to a flat out section ( not really a squeze, except for lardarses) not
|
|
|

pushed, but running water could be heard. Back in the chamber, it doubles back on itself to

2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00

the left and encounters an area of breakdown which was not fully investigated,

|
|
|

and there is a climb up into a rift passage heading south over the top of

Umshitshimbo which becomes too narrow. Large passage continues uphill past a 2m
|

|
|
|

<P>Left leads uphill past a choked inlet on the left to a steep uphill section
|

with a crawl on the right, which leads shortly to a 2m climb down and immediate
|

choke. At the top of the steep section the passage to the right immediately

chokes, whilst left is <B>Dolly Parton climb</B>, a 2m climb up with huge jugs,

steep phreatic ramps on the left hand side of this passage, both very small and

both choked.

<H3><A name=110bidet>110 Bidet</A></H3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P><B>110 Bidet</B> is a stooping size passage which runs parallel to <B>110 A Day</B>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
It can be accessed via a crawl about 1m up that carries straight on from where
|
|
|
|
|
|
<B>110 A Day</B> starts with a sharp right hand turn. The crawl emerges into
|
|
|
|
|
|
larger passage; to the left after 5m is <B>Pendulum Pitch</B>. Going right leads
|
|
|
|
|
|
to a hole in the floor among boulders, <B>Marble Run</B>. To the left here
|
|
|
|
|
|
is a low passage leading to <B>No Pain No Gain</B>, whilst <B>110 Bidet</B> carries straight on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Continuing on, the passage turns right, followed shortly by a crossroads with a crawly passage.
|
|
|
|
|
|
To the right is a dead end; to the left is [<A

tube, which has subsequently been intersected by a tight rifty stream way. 20m along
|
|
|
|
|

the rift bears to the right and is too tight to pass, whilst the phreatic passage continues on to a small
|
2001-08-15 19:57:28 +01:00
|

|
chamber. Here the passage doubles back over itself to continue above the original
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
passage. The passage does this once more to end in an earth blockage.

|
|
|
try not to disturb the remaining flow patterns in the mud). A crawly mud floored
|
|

is a 2m climb up from the top of the pit. This has a stalactite formation at the top on the
|

with a chamber to the right, and an short, almost flat-out crawl to the left.

|
|
|
|
|
|
A rift at the other end of the chamber leads to a
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
waterfall which feeds the stream that runs through the chamber. Climbing up before the rift gives

access to a crawl [<A

|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The main route on is reached by swinging off after 16m into a 6m wide
|

|
|
|

passage. Two passages in the left hand wall are quickly encountered. The first

quickly becomes too tight, the second is a short crawl leading into the network

of sandy crawls at the bottom of <A

|
|
|
|
|
|
href="204.htm#ariston">Ariston
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
boulder, reaches a blind pit in the floor, with two ways on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>A loose and slightly precarious traverse round the blind pit leads to a short
|
|
|
|
|
|
passage on the left, emerging at the head of <B>You're So Veined</B> at the
|
|
|
|
|
|
start of the <A
|
|
|
|
|
|
href="204.htm#ariston">Ariston
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
connection to <B>You're so Veined</B>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>To the right at the blind pit is a draughting phreatic tube which heads

downhill at a comfortable walking size past a tight passage on the left [<A

|
|
|

name=qC1999-204-18>C1999-204-18 C</A>]. After 20m, a 3m climb up into a roof
|
|
|
|
|
|
tube on the right hand side is the way into the <A
|
|
|
|
|
|
href="204.htm#elephant">White

|
|
|
|
|
Elephant Series</A>. The phreatic passage continues for a further 15m past a too

|
|
|
|
|
tight inlet on the right and a traverse over a blind pit to a 3m deep hole in
|
|
|
|
|
|
the floor, which is blind. Traversing over the hole and up a loose climb with a
|
|
|
|
|
|
too tight rift in the right hand wall leads into an uphill passage, which is
|
|
|
|
|
|
choked with mud after 5m. A sandy crawl on the right just before the choke leads
|
|
|
|
|
|
via a left hand bend with a too tight rift on the right (probably connecting to
|
|
|
|
|
|
that at the loose climb) ending at a 2m climb down. There is a possible way on
|
|
|
|
|
|
at the bottom of this, but it is very small and tall people at least would have
|
|
|
|
|
|
to enter feet first [<A

|

|
<P>The Ariston Series is the route to the current deepest point in the cave. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
pitch series begins with a short pitch of 5m rigged from a large thread in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
roof a few metres back, with a single spit for the vertical part, which is
|
|
|
|
|
|
almost a scramble. This lands on a large ledge formed of boulders wedged across
|
|
|
|
|
|
a narrow point; there are two choices of descent here, one to the north,
|
|
|
|
|
|
<B>You're So Veined</B> (15m), which was used in 1999, and an as yet undescended
|
|
|
|
|
|
pitch to the south, which will land further down the Ariston Series, which
|
|
|
|
|
|
should probably be used in 2000. One rebelay provides a good hang against the
|
|
|
|
|
|
wall of You're so Veined to reach the foot of the pitch, which is in a spacious
|
|
|
|
|
|
shaft, with an impressive aven above. From here, there are two ways on: to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
left, facing away from the pitch just descended, is a gully, which in 1999
|
|
|
|
|
|
contained a thick layer of ice. Carefully traversing this rather slippery
|
|
|
|
|
|
section leads to the head of a small pitch of 6m, which was rigged with a
|
|
|
|
|
|
Y-hang. From here a walking size phreatic passage leads off, carrying a
|
|
|
|
|
|
substantial breeze. The passage initially descends, but then develops a narrow
|
|
|
|
|
|
floor trench; as the trench deepens, the phreatic part of the passage rises, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
then ends abruptly where the floor trench turns right and leads off as a
|
|
|
|
|
|
too-tight rift while ahead the phreas pinches out.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Back at the foot of <B>You're So Veined</B>, a way on to the right leads into
|
|
|
|
|
|
a small, very crumbly chamber, from which a short section of awkward rift leads
|
|
|
|
|
|
to a fine crow's nest in the wall of a large rift. A very short pitch (5m) lands
|
|
|
|
|
|
on a large ledge, from which a roped traverse along the left-hand wall gains the
|
|
|
|
|
|
head of the next pitch of 12m, which avoids a large ledge which would have been
|
|
|
|
|
|
in the way but for the traverse. This pitch currently requires a rope protector
|
|
|
|
|
|
just below the Y-hang at the top. The landing is on another large ledge, where a
|
|
|
|
|
|
pool can be used to refill water containers. It is thought that the alternative
|
|
|
|
|
|
pitch to You're so Veined will land here, if rigged.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The next pitch of 14m consists of a backup bolt followed by a Y-hang, which
|
|
|
|
|
|
utilises one very cratered spit, which can only be used with a bollard type
|
|
|
|
|
|
hanger. This pitch requires a deviation from the opposite wall or a rebelay to
|
|
|
|
|
|
be installed as there is currently a rub point just below the Y-hang. The ledge
|
|
|
|
|
|
that this pitch lands on consists of boulders wedged across the shaft, although
|
|
|
|
|
|
it seems sound. A backup bolt protects the approach to the Y-hang at the head of
|
|
|
|
|
|
the next pitch (35m). Unfortunately, it seems to be impossible to get a clean
|
|
|
|
|
|
hang from here, and a rub-point 3m down will require the installation of a
|
|
|
|
|
|
rebelay or deviation in future. Immediately after this point, the walls of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
shaft bell out, and the rope hangs in stimulating isolation. About 5m from the
|
|
|
|
|
|
floor a ledge is passed, which could be gained by a swing across, where there
|
|
|
|
|
|
may possibly be a passage leading off [<A

|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>At the foot of the pitch, the way on is a very chossy, sloping descent which
|
|
|
|
|
|
will require either re-rigging or bypassing (which may be possible by a climb up
|
|
|
|
|
|
and over) in future. This leads to a further short pitch (10m), which lands in
|
2001-08-15 19:57:28 +01:00
|
|
|
|
an aven chamber of ample proportions. From here drops an 8m pitch,
|
|
|
|
|
|
landing on a rubble floor. The only way on is a tight rift
|
|
|
|
|
|
[<a href="204/qm.htm#C2000-204-60" name="qC2000-204-60">C2000-204-60 C</a>],
|
|
|
|
|
|
which was penetrated for only a short distance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
More progress might be possible by someone small and imaginative. Not surveyed in 2000.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Back at the head of the 8m pitch. a crawl leading off from the foot of the
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
pitch just descended, and a descending rubble slope. The rubble slope curves
|
|
|
|
|
|
round to the right, passing a tight rift on the left [<A

|
|
|

name=qC1999-204-22>C1999-204-22 C</A>], to reach the bottom of a short climb up
|
|
|
|
|
|
of 3m on the right, which is followed by a scramble down on the other side. From
|
|
|
|
|
|
here, straight ahead is a climb up into the foot of an aven, half-right is a
|
|
|
|
|
|
short ascending passage leading to a chamber where a traverse around the right
|
2001-08-15 19:57:28 +01:00
|
|
|
|
hand wall leads to a slope down to <b><a href="#fled">Fledermausshacht</a></b>.
|

|
Full right is a stooping/crawling
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
height phreatic passage with a mud floor. This passes on the right the other end
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the crawl which led off from the foot of the previous pitch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Some 50m of alternate crawling and stooping, including a single point where
|
|
|
|
|
|
the roof dips and the crawl is flat-out, leads to a small chamber. Here there
|
2001-08-15 19:57:28 +01:00
|
|
|
|
are two holes in the floor. One leads to
|
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="#kiwisuit"><b>Kiwi Suit</b></a>; the other drop is much shorter, and is
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
split into two sections by ledges on each wall part way down. The first section
|
|
|
|
|
|
of 8m reaches these small ledges, where a stream enters from the foot of a very
|
|
|
|
|
|
large aven. The next section of 11m is wet, and lands on a small ledge
|
|
|
|
|
|
overlooking a massive shaft. Stones thrown out from here fall for 3s. This is
|
2001-08-15 19:57:28 +01:00
|
|
|
|
believed to be the same pitch as the first pitch of <b>Kiwi Suit</b>.

|
|
|
<h3><a name="kiwisuit">Kiwi Suit</a></h3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The first pitch begins with a funnel-shaped opening. The initial approach is rigged
|
|
|
|
|
|
from a large pillar at the edge of the funnel (the approach to this could be further
|
|
|
|
|
|
protected by a traverse line tied round an even larger pillar a couple of metres back).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Suddenly, at the base of the funnel, there is an impressive black space. In 2000 the
|
|
|
|
|
|
descent was rigged New-Zealand style, entirely from naturals, which seemed sound, but
|
|
|
|
|
|
worrisome for us bolt-junkies, especially given the record of 'Bomb-Proof' naturals in
|
|
|
|
|
|
KH visiting the bottoms of pitches. Two deviations keep the descent clear of walls and
|
|
|
|
|
|
the small trickle of water which falls down the shaft (probably becomes a much bigger
|
|
|
|
|
|
trickle after rain). The floor is reached after 54 metres of descent. The way on is a
|
|
|
|
|
|
short traverse, an 8 metre pich, another short traverse, and then a 20 metre pitch to a
|
|
|
|
|
|
ledge. The final pitch from this ledge is an impressive rift of 47 metres depth, rigged
|
|
|
|
|
|
in 2000 from a natural, one bolt, and the rope from the pitch above.</p>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>At the bottom, a
|
|
|
|
|
|
merry little stream is reached (similar volume of water to the Top Camp waterhole in
|
|
|
|
|
|
spate). Upstream was not pushed, but reportedly leads quickly to the foot of a
|
|
|
|
|
|
waterfall

|
|
|
|
|
[<a href="204/qm.htm#C2000-204-63" name="qC2000-204-63">C2000-204-63 B</a>].
|
|
|
|
|
|
Downstream quickly narrows to about 50cm wide, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
progress is made by constantly changing level to stay where the passage is wide enough.
|
|
|
|
|
|
After about 40m a small cascade of about 4m is reached, which could probably be
|
|
|
|
|
|
free-climbed, but a handline here helps avoid getting soaked. The passage is
|
|
|
|
|
|
considerably wider for a few metres below the cascade, but soon resumes in its previous
|
|
|
|
|
|
manner. Suddenly, the head of a pitch
|
|
|
|
|
|
[<a href="204/qm.htm#C2000-204-64" name="qC2000-204-64">C2000-204-64 A</a>],
|
|
|
|
|
|
estimated at about 10 metres,
|
|
|
|
|
|
is reached. This was the limit of exploration in 2000. The streamway can be seen to
|
|
|
|
|
|
continue below the pitch, and perhaps becomes a bit wider.</p>

|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The traverse round to the pitch head
|
|
|
|
|
|
is protected by a thread belay at the start of the traverse. A substantial thread
|
|
|
|
|
|
(requiring 2 slings due to its girth) at the pitch head enables the first, sloping
|
|
|
|
|
|
section of the pitch to be descended. Soon the pitch becomes vertical, and a
|
|
|
|
|
|
rebelay on the far wall (at -5m) allows the next few metres to be descended.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unfortunately the shaft still hades slightly, and a further two rebelays (at -15m
|
|
|
|
|
|
and -28m) are required before the magnitude of this 112m shaft starts to become
|
|
|
|
|
|
apparent. A 40m freehanging section leads to a sloping ledge, where the shaft
|
|
|
|
|
|
doglegs again and a scrappy descent down a gulley, and a further two rebelays (at
|
|
|
|
|
|
-68m and -80m), reaches a sloping ledge overlooking the final section of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
pitch. A chossy traverse across the left hand wall appears to head into a parallel

|
|
shaft [<a href="204/qm.htm#C2000-204-61" name="qC2000-204-61">C2000-204-61 C</a>].
|
|
|
|
|
|
A bolt round the corner to the right allows a descent of
|
|
|
|
|
|
the final 22m to the floor to be made, where a boulder choke is met, with no way
|
|
|

on. The whole pitch, particularly the far wall, is rather loose and due care must

be taken. A large chockstone near the second rebelay could not be shifted, but
|
|
|
|
|
|
should be treated with suspicion.</p>

<p>At the start of the traverse to the head of Fledermaus Schacht is a small crawl
|
|
|
|
|
|
leading off to the right. This is initially flat-out over crumbly mud, but enlarges
|
|
|
|
|
|
after a short distance to enter a series of small mud-filled chambers. There is no
|
|
|
|
|
|
obvious way on, other than to start excavations in the mud banks

<H3><A name=elephant>White Elephant Series</A></H3>
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The White Elephant Series is a series of rift pitches which has not been
|
|
|
|
|
|
pushed to a definite conclusion, but does not appear especially promising,
|
|
|
|
|
|
despite carrying a considerable breeze. From the head of the 3m climb up, a roof
|
|
|
|
|
|
tube leads off. After 8m of crawling, the passage opens out at the head of a 2m
|
|
|
|
|
|
climb down by a large boulder. A too-tight rift leads off on the left, but ahead
|
|
|
|
|
|
opens out into a large space, the <B>Millennium Dome</B>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>A 20m pitch rigged from a bolt on the left hand wall backed up to the big
|
|
|
|
|
|
boulder, with a rebelay and rope protector after 5m, lands on the boulder floor
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the Millennium dome, which is an L-shaped chamber at the base of a large
|
|
|
|
|
|
aven, with each arm of the L being 15m long and 5m wide. There do not appear to
|
|
|
|
|
|
be any ways through the boulders, but a rift leads off at the western end,
|
|
|
|
|
|
quickly arriving at the head of a 10m pitch with a constricted take off, rigged
|
|
|
|
|
|
from boulders. An eyehole part way down this pitch appears to lead into a
|
|
|
|
|
|
parallel shaft [<A

|
|
|
|
name=qC1999-204-25>C1999-204-25 B</A>] (This is probably the connection through to pleasure dome). The pitch lands on a rubble floor with a
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
|
blind pit. Heading south quickly reaches a loose pitch head, with a rift passage
|
|
|
|
|
|
continuing beyond.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>The pitch is 28m, rigged from a bolt on the left hand wall and deviations
|
|
|
|
|
|
from natural threads after 4m and 12m. The second deviation is by a small rock
|
|
|
|
|
|
bridge, where descending either side appears to go to the same place, and an
|
|
|
|
|
|
eyehole opposite connects to the continuation of the rift at the top of the
|
|
|
|
|
|
pitch. The base of the pitch is an oddly shaped chamber formed from several
|
|
|
|
|
|
rifts (about 7m up the pitch, these rifts coalesce to form a single shaft.)
|
|
|
|
|
|
North from the base of the rope leads to a 3m climb down into an inlet rift
|
|
|
|
|
|
coming from the north which ends in a blank wall 8m from the base of the rope,
|
|
|
|
|
|
but the rift continues too-tight heading south beneath the 3m climb. South from
|
|
|
|
|
|
the base of the rope is another rift heading downhill which rapidly becomes too
|
|
|
|
|
|
tight with running water clearly audible, but not visible beyond. West from the
|
|
|
|
|
|
base of the rope leads to junction with a too tight rift continuing to the west,
|
|
|
|
|
|
and another inlet rift coming from the north which ends in a blank wall after
|
|
|
|
|
|
5m.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>Traversing over the top of the pitch (rope required) and a short descent
|
|
|
|
|
|
leads to a continuation of the rift passage. A hole on the left connects to the
|
|
|
|
|
|
28m pitch described earlier. After 5m the rift narrows and a constricted pitch
|
|
|
|
|
|
head is reached. The descent of 15m is rigged from a large boulder and leads
|
|
|
|
|
|
immediately to a further drop of 7m rigged from a bolt. This shorter drop may be
|
|
|
|
|
|
bypassed by an alternative free climb in a narrow slot immediately beyond the
|
|
|
|
|
|
pitch head. From the base the tall, narrow rift continues with two short climbs
|
|
|
|
|
|
and a slot in the floor which gradually widens to the head of the next pitch
|
|
|
|
|
|
after 6m. This is rigged from a Y-hang on either side of the rift, but soon
|
|
|
|
|
|
opens out to give a fine descent of 15m landing in a spacious rift at 182m depth
|
|
|
|
|
|
from 204b entrance. A narrow slot in the floor develops, which is just large
|
|
|
|
|
|
enough to descend, but stones thrown down sound dead [<A
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
name=qC1999-204-26>C1999-204-26 B</A>]. It is possible to traverse above the
|
|
|
|
|
|
slot for a short way before the rift becomes too tight.
|
|
|
|
|
|
<P>There is a noticeable breeze at the base of this pitch, as there is through
|
|
|
|
|
|
much of the series, with air blowing into the cave. From the base of the 7m
|
|
|
|
|
|
pitch, there is no roof visible. This area has potential, but there are no easy
|
|
|
|
|
|
leads, and some lunatic bolt traverses may be required to try to bypass the
|
|
|
|
|
|
tight sections.
