<p><b>Flowstone Canyon</b> L at this two way junction is Flowstone canyon, <p>Going L at the end of <b>Watershed</b> at PT25 enters <b>Flowstone Canyon</b>. This has holes to the left and right but the main route descends steeply down a narrow rift with some fairly awkward, thrutchy down climbs. <i>The holes to the right all join except one QMC which likely just connects to <b>Peculiar Pot</b>. The hole to the left appears to still be an open lead, QMB, in a rift that needs bolting for protection. Beyond these holes, a climb up leads to <b> Portcullis Passage </b>, a loose, sandy passage which follows the top of <b>Flowstone Canyon</b> before dropping back into it.</i></p>

and thrutchy downclimbs. All can be freeclimbed but a couple may benefit
from a small handline. <i> A climb up leads to <b> Portcullis Passage </b> a loose sandy passage which follows the top of the canyon before dropping back into it. </i> At the end of the passage a chamber is reached with

<p><b>Sound of Water</b>. Down the 20m pitch from <b>Flowstone canyon</b> The way on is right up the slope to another pitch p27. <b>Peculiar Pot</b> enters from a rift a few metres down this pitch. From the bottom, upstream leads to a waterfall (bolt climbing required) whilst downstream follows a narrow rift to <b> Alpine Showers </b>: two small pitches beside waterfalls leading to a traverse and another pitch. The streamway is rejoined but soon drops away again and the roof of the rift lowers to a traverse and 20m pitch.</p> <p><b>Sound of Water</b>.
