as a pleasant but very drafty canyon. (<i>At PT09 at the first corner
there is a climb down on the L into a passage which is presumed to be
the continuation of the lower level passage. This QM B has not been

passage becomes maze-like and needs fully surveying. It eventually
ends at a deep drafty rift. (<i>This has been pushed by Haydon

probably no easy leads but the draft is absolutely ridiculous</i>).</p>
pushed beyond the wide pool).
Continuing past this junction the passage becomes maze-like and needs fully surveying, this is <b>Swiss Cheese</b>. It eventually ends at a deep drafty rift.
Crossing the meander at the far end of Swiss Cheese, a deep draughty rift is reached and can be traversed at roof level for about 40m. This terminates in a y-hang leading to another roof-level traverse. Following this for 13m leads to another Y-hang which is best rigged as a 3-bolt hang. This drops into <b>The Lizard Queen II</b> (originally scooped by Hayden and named Lizard King). The rigging here is a little confusing but will eventually pass between 2 and 3 re-belays before reaching the floor of <b>The Lizard Queen II</b>. This is a large canyon with a sump and two or more waterfalls at the southern side which can be easily freeclimbed (the second of which may require a rope to descend). This is expected to lead towards <b>Swiss Cheese</b>, <b>Heifer</b>, and <b>Watershed</b>. Heading north leads to <b>German Engineering<b> and can be followed in a high-level traverse for 20m to the pitch-head of <b>War of Attrition</b>. Descending this leads to a 1-bolt wonder (in very good rock) and then to a Y-hang which is descended to yet another traverse. <b><i>The deviation MUST be used to prevent catastrophic rope rub.</i></b> At the end of the traverse line a brief section of walking passage is reached before reaching a further traverse which terminates at the pitch-head of <b>Salamander Queen</b>. <i>Care must be taken when rigging this to avoid rope rub.</i> <b>Salamander Queen</b> can be descended to a y-hang which <b><i>MUST have a rope-protector placed</i></b> to prevent catastrophic rope rub. Bottoming this chamber leads to a small calcified aven and small stream at the south side and a large, clean washed, aven at the north. This aven can be descended into via a 1-bolt wonder (about 7m) and leads to a high-level, clean-washed rift traverse which quickly opens over a very large chamber (maybe 20m wide, very long and something like 40m+ deep. It is expected that this is part of the same rift system seen at the end of INSERT NAME and connects back towards watershed as a hydrological connection at minimum). Continuing in the traverse leads to a phreatic tube on the left. This is easy stomping passage with a few small waterfalls. After about 80m the passage constricts and leads to an airy traverse over a huge chamber where a waterfall can be heard in the distance. A y-hang is in place to drop the chamber. The chamber is expected to be around 50m+ deep. HERE BE THE PUSHING FRONT.
