+ + + + + +-[2005 description: "Spacious entrance shaft lands on snow plug about 10m down. At one side (uphill, which is probably roughly east) is a short section of rift, and a slot down one side of the snow plug, but this proved too narrow (at least with 2005 snow levels)"]
-20m rope and slings were sufficient in 2005 when snow levels were much higher. - -
+ I (Nat) squeezed down through some dodgy loose boulders at the entrance, but could not get further down safely. I could see beyond the boulder choke that there was a vertical shaft, smooth-sided, which we measured by Disto as 2.7m deep, probably landing onto a gravel floor as judged by the sound of throwing rocks down. This vertical shaft appears to turn a corner into a rift heading South-West (downslope). +
+No noticeable draft, but it was hard to get my head right in. The shaft is definitely big enough for a person to stand in comfortably. With a bit of tidying up the big loose boulders inside the entrance, one could get into the shaft and see where the rift goes
+ On a scramble parallel to (east of, uphill from) the path to Tunnocks. Located in a gully filled with wild chives. +
+The entrance is below a large fixed boulder with the tag on its SW side. +
