Entrance shaft
Warning: Beware of loose rocks.
The shaft of the 258b entrance, rigged with an initial belay, deviation and Y-hang just below the lip, gives onto the main entrance shaft just above a single bolt rebelay also accessible from the 258a entrance. (The 258a entrance, no longer used, was rigged with a thread in the bottom of the shakehole and a bolt on the left wall under the dripline. This enabled a descent of several metres to a small ledge, where working around to the right gained a rebelay, succeeded by the single bolt rebelay mentioned above). Several rigs have been used over the years due to variable snow levels. Originally, a hang of around 10 metres from this single bolt lands on a flat floor where there is sometimes a snow plug. Upslope leads to an alcove. The rear of this alcove opens onto the top of a pitch that appears to be of quite some depth [2006-258-1-B] which may connect with Stone Monkey below.
Following the left wall down an unstable boulder slope (care required), a traverse leads to a low bolt. From 2014, this was avoided by means of a traverse and two airy rebelays leading to a descent that lands near the bottom of the unstable slope. From here, the original route proceeds via a scruffy descent descent of only two metres to another rebelay on a flat wall to land on another unstable boulder slope that used to have a considerable snow plug. The 2014 route avoids this by means of a traverse along the left hand wall to a series of rebelays that ultimately land near the bottom of the unstable boulder slope.
The descent continues down the right hand wall of the shaft via a series of rebelays and deviations. (The original route used in 2006 descended via an undercut rift to the left known as The Col.) There is sometimes a snow plug here, and upslope, a rift leads off (under The Col) which could maybe lead to further passage [2006-258-3-B].
In 2006 the pitch culiminated at the head of a large snow slope, which has become progressively smaller over the years. Since 2014, the main route into the rest of the cave has been to double back under the entrance pitch and descend the remnant of the snow slope - Ducks on Ice.
From 2006 to 2013, Ducks on Ice was inaccessible, so the original descent continued from the same belay all the way to the bottom of the snow slope. Passing under an arch the slope terminated with ice stalactites in alcoves to either side and (depending on the year) an ice lake or pile of snow. The ice stal in the alcove to the left could be ascended with ice and/or climbing equipment to reach a passage [2006-258-5-C].
[Description needed 2006-258-2-B is missing - Dave Loeffler or Aaron Curtis or Mark Shinwell]
Original route to the main cave
The original route to the main cave proceeded from the bottom of the snow slope, where there is a hole at floor level that leads into a chamber. This chamber is on occasion occupied by a large ice stalactite and accompanying ice floor. A small hole to the right gives access to Bauernkrapfen Passage, a well-formed sloping crawl debouching into a large rift chamber, Three Fried Mice. Following the chamber around to the left leads to a choke at the bottom of a slope, although before this it is possible to climb up the wall and through a hole under boulders to gain a higher level, with a view over the chamber before Bauernkrapfen Passage but no other ways on.
Following the rift around to the right from the end of Bauernkrapfen Passage, passing some small faulted phreatic tubes in the left wall, leads to an opening in the right wall. The succeeding phreatic passage, Strudel Crawl, sucks strongly and continues sloping down past a delicate traverse over a hole [2006-258-12-C] to eventually arrive at a further hole in the floor. Descending the hole leads to Flapjack Choke. The main route in is to traverse over the top (rope required). Shortly after the traverse, there is an eyehole in the right-hand wall (facing downslope), which leads to the large passage of Ribs with Knödel. Strudel Crawl may also be followed down without going through the eyehole to reach the same point, although this route is not recommended for descent, due to a drop underneath.

Alphabet Soup
From Ribs with Knödel, a 1.5 x 0.5m rift heads west reaching a junction after 15m. Left (southeast) heads uphill over a too-tight floor trench for 15m to a right hand bend with roof tube continuing ahead [QM 06-42 C].

Apfelstrudel
Apfelstrudel starts as a boulder floored passage heading west from Ribs with Knödel for 10m to a complex area of interconnecting passages. Three passages on the right ultimately unite in a 4m wide passage that heads north and downhill to a crossroads with Oompah (west and east) and Loompah (north). Heading right (east) at this crossroads leads back to Ribs with Knödel.
At the third right turn, a larger passage leads off to the left (south) for 15m. With three ways on. A slope up to the right (southwest) leads to the base of the sloping ramp pitch from Germknödel, which provides an alternative access route. Straight ahead leads up a slope into Dark Fumblings. A third way on is an unexplored phreatic roof tube [QM 07-xx C]. [ORIGINAL SURVEY SHOWS ONLY ONE WAY ON STRAIGHT AHEAD HERE.

Germknödel
The 9m pitch from Sauerkraut lands on a sloping rock floor. A short clamber down leads to a chamber with multiple ways on. A pitch in the floor [QM 06-25 A] and small passage to the north [QM 06-26 C] have not been explored. There are two main ways on.
Left (southwest) is a stooping-height phreatic passage which slopes down past small passages to the west [QM 06-29 C] and east [QM 06-27 C] [QM 06-28 C] to the head of Pantin Sales Pitch (2.9sec drop but also v. wide and long) with an aven above [QM 06-32 X]. Shortly before the pitch head is a crawl on the left with bat droppings, leading to another window onto the same pitch and a passage beyond Sleeping Beauty. In the northwest corner at the pitch head is the entrance to C Lead Jackpot.
Back in the chamber, straight ahead (north) leads past a blind pit in the floor to a section of passage with a sloping floor. There is a climbable hole in the floor (handline required) [QM 06-34 B] with a climb up in the opposite wall [QM 06-33 C]. Beyond this the passage emerges part-way down a large sloping ramp pitch. Descending this pitch leads to Apfelstrudel. The pitch could also potentially be climbed up [QM 06-36 B].

Hedonism Highway
Very high rocky passage uphill with monster draft (considering passage size) blowing out. This whole passage is formed on a bedding plane sloping at about 25 degrees from horizontal, so everywhere is walkable but quite steeply sloping. A tricky 2m climb over a block reaches a sandy hading chamber. Going across to the left reaches a very wide, bedding-aligned area with a choice of routes upwards either side of a pillar. A passage off to the left (north) here is Rocky Road North. At the top of the wide bit the passage reverts to a phreas with a deep canyon which is largely inaccessibly-narrow. It is at least 8m deep and there are a couple of points one could get in [2007-258-95-C].
Climbing over a large boulder the passage widens due to a junction. A passage goes off left upwards, as does the canyon, and another goes off left downwards, both connecting to Rocky Road North. Straight ahead the passage continues steeply up-dip and gets bouldery. There are a couple of huge dropped sections of rock that have been undercut and split from the roof. On the left is a small alcove passage. Next a small cross-passage roof tube. Neither of these go. The draught remains strong, blowing out. The passage turns 90 left to go along the dip. A strongly draughting small passage on the right at the corner is Rocky Road East. Hedonism highway gets boulderier and closes down over the next 60m, ending in a choke and a solution tube filled with rocks [2007-258-81C]. This point may be quite close to the surface.

Just for a Laugh
Three west-going passages from Maximum Pleasure unite and head down steeply, with a strong inward draught. After 50m a rock pillar is encountered. Left turns on either side of the rock pillar unite in a single passage that heads uphill for 45m to a boulder choke with a voice and light connection to Maximum Pleasure immediately south of Starfish Junction.
Ahead at the rock pillar the passage continues in similar fashion to a chamber with large lumps of flowstone. There is an aven above this chamber [2007-258-30 X], and an unexplored sandy passage immediately before [2007-258-29 B]. Beyond the aven two routes round a rock pillar lead to a crossroads. Right (north) leads to a 25m blind pitch. Left (south) is a smaller, sandy floored passage. Ahead (west) the passage develops a floor trench and continues 11m to a second crossroads. Ahead (west) is a too tight right. Right (north) is a boulder floored passage, passing a 12m pitch immediately on the left (Damp Squib). A further 15m along, a low passage on the left rapidly closes down. The main passage continues for a further 25m to a boulder choke. This point is 15m away from a similar boulder choke at the southern extremity of Crossword Passage.
Left (south) at the second crossroads are two smaller passages that unite and develop a stream trench. Following this passage for 20m leads to a fork.
Following the lefthand fork, a small passage immediately on the left leads back to the first crossroads described above (the south-going passage), passing an unexplored narrow crawl down on the right [2007-258-54 C]. Continuing straight ahead on the lefthand fork leads to a sharp lefthand bend with an unexplored uphill crawl straight ahead [2007-258-52 C]. The continuing passage round the bend heads downhill and meets the passage from the righthand fork after 10m.
Following the righthand fork, after 15m the passage from the lefthand fork described above is met on the left. Immediately beyond is a 1.5m climb down, at the base of which an unexplored low crawl leads off on the right [2007-258-55 C]. Left at the foot of the climb is So Vein.

Let's Get Naked
Very sandy, low, wide passage curves round to the R. [2007-258-99-C] goes off to L at lowest point. Clambering up over boulders with freezing draught in your face (out of cave) reaches an aven, which we partially climbed and it appears not to go [2007-258-79 X], but there seems to be a draught deficit beyond. Ahead the passage rapidly shrinks to a narrow rift which can be climbed (c4).
At the top the climb there are a series of awkward crawls. North rapidly closes down; east continues with an inward draught via an easy squeeze and past a roof tube [2007-258-85-C] and upward trending rift [2007-258-83-C] with a too-tight neighbour to a 5m climb up. Beyond, the passage continues past a further tight rift [2007-258-102 C] to a 2m climb. The passage beyond carries little draught and closes down in too-tight ceiling tubes.

Caramel Catharsis to water collecting pool junction
From the foot of Caramel Catharsis, Secret Squirrel is downhill to the south. The major route is a large, passage heading northwest for around 20m past taped formations on the floor. Twin passages to the left here lead to Stomach Ulsa. [SURVEY SHOWS UNEXPLORED PASSAGE TO WEST HERE QM 07-06 B DOES THIS REALLY EXIST? ORIGINAL SURVEY SUGGESTS TWO PASSAGES BOTH GOING TO STOMACH ULSA] The main way is through a low arch straight ahead to a 3m climb down in a rift below an aven, which can be climbed far enough to see that it probably doesn't go. At the bottom is a wide stony passage with a pool useful for collecting water, and an important junction.
The most obvious route is rightish (north) up another awkward climb leading to Y KeyKey Beach and the Littoral North; left (southwest) leads almost immediately to a 12m pitch into Frankly Freezing. Ahead (west) is the climb towards Usual Suspects.
Littoral North
If the north passage is taken from the water collecting pool, a 2m climb up rotten calcite leads (past a small unexplored passage on the left [QM 07-04 A]) to an unusual critical-angle pile of 10cm diameter rocks Y KeyKey Beach. The narrowing at the top of this pile (it gets close to the roof) has a stonking gale coming through it. Just beyond this where the passage widens to 8m, behind the large rock on the left is the hidden entrance to Rhubarb Crumbly, leading to the lower levels via String Theory and the northern areas via Max Pleasure.
On the right, at the widening, is a shallow pit [QM 07-05-C] [Has this been ticked off? Or does it need to be put into tunnel and the QM list? - Becka Lawson].
Ahead (northeast) the comfortable passage only goes for about 20m before reaching the edge of a huge shaft undercutting the RH wall The Thin Red Line. An airy traverse to the left of this reaches another hole on the left down, apparently into the same pitch [QM 07-89-B]. Immediately ahead is another large hole [QM 07-91-A]. Up is a large aven (30m+ [QM 07-98 X]. There appears to be a continuation across the other side - a long bolted traverse away [QM 07-92 B].

Rhubarb Crumbly
Climbing down behind a large rock in Littoral North gives access to nice walking passage floored with dark dirt, trending NNW. A strong breeze blows in. The passage proceeds, past three small horizontal tubes on the left [QM 07-25 C] [QM 07-18 C] [QM 07-24 C] for 40m where the passage passes over a cross-joint forming a pitch that can be seen through a very small hole in the floor[QM 07-26B]. Would need capping to get in. Immediately beyond a C2 gets into almost perfectly straight passage with some popcorn on the walls, and another unexplored crawl on the right [QM 07-19 C]. At the end is a wider T-junction. Down to the left is a stoop into a boulder-floored chamber containing a too-tight crawl on the left and two small avens [2007-258-21-X] (at 1st corner), [2007-258-20-X] (at end). To the right, 5m further on, is an important T-junction. Right is Maximum Pleasure leading to the northern areas of the cave. Left is Dubious Pleasure, which takes the draught, and leads to the lower levels of the cave via String Theory.
Maximum Pleasure: south of Starfish Junction
A fine walking passage heads steadily up-dip with a strong outward draft. Goes 180m to Starfish junction, via a few boulders to clamber over. A tight rift on the right is passed after 75m [QM 07-23 C]. After 130m a shelf forms on LH wall after floor canyon disappears under LH wall, where there is an unexplored sandy crawl [QM 07-27 B]. The shelf is the main way on and rises slowly above floor level until you are traversing past a large hole on the R. This connects under RH wall to Star Light passage. Crawls on LH side at shelf level 30m south of Starfish Junction have [QM 07-22-C] parallel to main passage and [QM 07-28-B] in back corner behind pillars. A climb up on the left in a cross-rift 10m south of Starfish Junction leads immediately to a boulder choke with a voice and light connection to a side passage in Just for a Laugh. [2007-258-94-X] is a high (20m+) aven at the same point.
[EDITED UP TO HERE]
Starfish Junction has 4 large passages meeting at a large boulder and is a distinctive spot. Ahead (North) Maximum Pleasure continues. The right fork is Flying High. The 4th passage is Star Light passage. Including the higher and lower-level connections this is a complex junction.

Maximum Pleasure: north of Starfish junction
Maximum Pleasure north of Starfish Junction initially opens into a High chamber a drafting (inwards) passage off on the left (Just for a Laugh). Two other passages on the left also connect to Just for a Laugh. The chamber merges back into walking passage after 40m. 10m along a soil slope comes in from the right wall, choked to the left, and a low crawl to the right leading to Down to Earth. The passage slopes gently down until it meets a larger one with the way on going gently up-dip to the right. There is a large boulder at the junction. The continuation of the larger passage on the left is choked with soil.
Past a pillar the passage opens up into a high wide chamber with a deep canyon in the floor, largely covered by boulders. At the start of the chamber a rapidly-lowering passage goes back right for 8m before being choked with sand. At the far end of the chamber you step over the canyon [2007-258-67-B] and have to clamber over some very nice flowstone to proceed. The obvious way on is walking passage but in fact the passage goes at two levels here - you can also climb down below the flowstoned chockstone and follow the canyon upstream to get to the same chamber.
Following the obvious higher level brings you into another chamber with a deep hole in the floor, mostly blocked by a large jammed boulder, that connects to Downgraded Window [CHECK]. Traversing around the left hand side reaches a 3m climb down to the far side of the hole. This is Petticoat Junction where left (north) is the continuation of Maximum Pleasure towards Let's get Naked, or ahead (east) across rocks and uphill to Hedonism Highway.
Taking the smaller northerly passage at Petticoat Junction leads into passage of varying character. It starts with deep dark soily deposits. An awkward small passage on the left connects back to the climb just before Petticoat Junction. The draught is still strong and inwards. Crossing a soily crater leads to a sloping 3m climb up a wide, high rift, then along 10m of narrow joint-controlled passage to another sudden change of character. Ahead is a tight passage which draughts out and becomes a dig after 10m [2007-258-73-D]. The way on is the very wide phreatic passage sloping steeply down to the west. The small central canyon of this passage goes under the left hand wall to the west [IS THIS A LEAD? NOT SHOWN AS QM ON ORIGINAL SURVEY].
The passage zigs and zags sharply past a crawl off on the L [2007-258-74 C] for 20m to merge into nice straight passage sloping gently down-dip. [Can not see zig zag nor the qm - Andrew Atkinson or Wookey or Dog Becka Lawson] After 35m it steepens and a small canyon forms, reaching a 3m deep drippy pot after another 25m. A 2m climb down gets to the floor and a delicate and slightly damp 3m climb up gets back into the continuing passage.
Here the passage is wide and sandy and forks: off on the right is Let's get Naked (draughting out). Down to the left it descends steeply and Crossword Passage goes off on the Left. 10m beyond is [2007-258-75-C] on the L then a gravelly bit with an aven above [2007-258-78-X]. The passage continues to descend down-dip until it suddenly chokes (3m dia!) with mud and rocks. This would be a top dig site in the UK [2007-258-77-D]. On the L is a large (8m dia?) chibble-floored pothole which can also be overlooked from a balcony, reached via a passage on the L, with a small passage heading off to the south. On the far side of the hole a crawl heads off downdip - this is Too Much of a Good Thing.

Ribs with Knödel to Caramel Catharsis
One exits Strudel Crawl to find the large, sloping passage of Ribs with Knödel.
Right (downhill) is the route to the rest of the cave. In this direction, a hole in the floor is passed [QM 06-14 C], before a much larger hole right across the passage is reached. A rope belayed to bolts on the left side of the passage enables a descent to be made to a point where it is possible to climb down, behind and around a rock pillar to complete the crossing of the hole. There is a passage leading back under the pitch at this point [QM 06-15 C]. A passage to the left leads to Apfelstrudel and Oompah.
After the hole, a sloping traverse is crossed; water enters from the roof here. At the start of the traverse, a steep ramp on the right accesses Boulder Surfer that ultimately leads to Ducks on Ice and Stone Monkey. From here a long ramp downwards, protected by a rope belayed to a large thread over towards the left, enables a descent towards the right wall to reach the traverse of Caramel Catharsis. On the left two passages are passed leading to Apfelstrudel and Oompah. The traverse follows the right wall, still sloping down and passing a hole in that wall that leads to Stone Monkey).
