alt="Convenience Rift" /></a>Continuing along Convenience Rift a further climb of ~3m is encountered. This can be bypassed by traversing along the right hand wall. A traverse line of ~14m is required and can be belayed to threads at either end of the traverse. A 21m rope is sufficient to rig the preceeding climb and the traverse. Beyond the traverse, the passage turns sharp left and a deep narrow slot in the floor must be traversed at high level. After 10m the slot widens and a passage, well decorated with white popcorn formations, joins from the right. The joining passage can be followed steeply uphill for ~25m to a small chamber. A small hole in the floor of the chamber leads onto a large pitch [<a href="qm.html#C2007-204-01" id="qC2007-204-01">C2007-204-01 A</a>] with a strong draft.</p>

<p>Downslope in Now Wash Your Hands is a muddy boulder filled passage which, after a short climb down, reaches a T-junction. Left at the junction leads to Out Of Order Rift. The passage to the right is reached by a 1.5m climb up a mud bank. Pleasant, walking sized phreatic passage winds gradually downhill. After a lowering of the roof, requiring crawling, Shit Chute joins on the left. This is a steeply sloping tube with a loose muddy floor. Starting as crawling sized it soon enlarges and the floor drops away into a pitch. This can also be reached through Engaged. The main passage continues to a short pitch requiring 10m of rope and two hangers. This enters Engaged.</p>

<p>Engaged begins under a drippy aven, with the water flowing down a hole in the floor which is too tight. Beyond the aven, the passage trifurcates. The large passage to the right continues across several large holes in the floor, the first of these is the SLTR pitch which descends 86 meters to several small sumps. The other holes are as yet undescended [<a href="qm.html#C2007-204-24" id="qC2007-204-24">C2007-204-24 A</a>], the continuation of the passage (requiring a traverse line) is also unexplored.

To the left, a large passage leads to a muddy pitch which can be rigged from natural anchors and descended into Channel 5. </p>

<h4><a id="outoforder">Out Of Order Rift</a></h4>
|

<p>Out Of Order Rift begins as a large, boulder filled passage. After two tight constrictions the passage becomes an awkward rift which slopes downwards. After a few sharp bends the passage widens slightly and another rift, Urinal Cakes, leads off down a hole in the floor. Traversing across the top of Urinal Cakes, Out Of Order Rift continues. A tube on the right connects back into Urinal Cakes whilst the rift continues past several more bends to a junction. To the right a very tight tube leads past several constrictions to a small chamber. The tight tube appears to continue, but is only for the thin enthusiast [<a href="qm.html#C2007-204-08" id="qC2007-204-08">C2007-204-08 C</a>]. To the left, the rift reduces to crawling size before emerging at a pitch, Don't Worry, Pee Happy.</p>
