Hiltiaplenty

+

From the crawl of the main route,the passage opens up to walking size, before reaching the hiltiaplenty traverse and pitch.

+

Opposite the bottom of the pitch, a drafting rift passage leads to a step up a mud bank into a chamber with a boulder choke in the floor. There is a ?C small crawl to the left as the chamber is entered, and a ?X in the ceiling which may just be a solution pocket. To the right a passage leads to the Cornish fudge shop. Over the boulder choke two passages go off. The left passage leads to a couple of avens ?X ?X, a little grotto and awkward passage, with a rift in the floor and a number of windows into a parallel passage. The right hand passage goes up an ascending rift up to a cross rift. At this junction there is a possible passage ?C going that would need climbing/bolting to. To the left the cross rift leads to a slope up ?B, whilst the right goes dead straight for 100m, where a small crawl straight on or a passage to the left both lead to two ends of a complicated multilevel chamber. Bearing right loops around down a mud slope/climb to the lower level of the chamber.

Back at the bottom of the hiltiaplenty pitch, turning right leads quickly to a large sloping chamber, with a large aven above ?X. Turning left in the chamber leads up a large passage, with a possible climb up at the end ?X. Turning right in the chamber leads down a very dubious approach to the pitch below hiltiaplenty pitch, this is steep and full of big loose rocks and is not recomended. Straight across the chamber leads down a sandy passage, which can also be traversed over with a climb down a tube. At the bottom of this passage is a three meter drop to a perpendicular passage that can be avoided with a short narrow climb in the floor. The right leads to where the below hiltiaplenty pitch was rigged, the left leads immediatly to a pitch that can be traversed over where a short passage leads to a short pitch. The pitches drop to oposite ends of a narrow low passage which connects the bottoms of both pitches, halfway along this passage a ramp up a chamber leabs to a short climb that leads to the bottom of a breakdown filled shaft. The breakdown can be climbed past up a chimney and emerges in a clean washed aven with many fresh strike marks that appears to be directly below natural highs.
