<p>The climb mentioned above was bolted in 2004 and has been left permanently rigged.
From the head of the pitch, a short climb up leads to a ledge overlooking Swings on
one side and a (blind?) pit to the other. Straight ahead is a steep descending tube
(best rigged); after a few metres the floor disappears, revealing a pitch down into

<p>Traversing over this pitch leads to a passage sloping down to the left. This
continues downwards past a number of dog-legs to reach a loose boulder-filled
chamber; various attempts to dig in the floor and walls of this met with no success.
The way on is a downward-sloping tube, leading to a further chamber; an oxbow part-
way down the slope leads back into this lower chamber, and a hole in the floor of the
slope also doesn't go <!-- Check with Stuart -->. In the chamber there are two ways
on; one horizontal meandering slot closes down, while a prominent ramp leads to the
head of a large pitch (est. 40m), which is undescended. Several passages on the same
level appear to continue beyond the pitch head.</p>
<p>The only one of these accessible without gear is reached by a clamber to the left
over a greasy slab, leading to a high rift passage. After a few metres the lower
level becomes too narrow, but a tube in the ceiling continues to a chamber, <b>Pile

tight-looking crawl (QM C); there is an aven in the ceiling, while straight on there
may be a continuing crawl underneath a magical levitating boulder (QM C).</p>
