[2007-258-70-A] is a passage off to the left. At the top of +the wide bit the passage reverts to a phreas with a deep canyon which +is largely inaccessibly-narrow.

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 comes in from the right at the +corner [2007-258-82B].
