found in 2018 on the western edge of our area. This is the first cave that breaks into complex and extensive
horizontal passage that we have explored
so far out onto the Loser Plateau. The entrance is in a gully with thick

(p5) drop onto a snow plug. Heading downslope leads to a stance
on jammed boulders. A p4 drops onto a narrow ledge which is traversed
for a short distance to the head of a p7 which lands on a second snow
plug. (<i>The p4 is very wet if it is raining on the surface but it
would not be hazardous to exit the cave in these conditions, just
very unpleasant</i>)</p>

the second snow plug a short, drafting crawl over boulders leads directly to two more pitches, a p5 then immediately a p10. Below here
a short wriggle through boulders on the L side of the passage leads
to a short section of rift passage ending at a p3 to a ledge. The
ledge looks out over a large chamber with jammed boulders in the roof
directly opposite the ledge. <i>(There may be passage leading off
from these jammed boulders, QMB). </i>The p30 from this ledge to the
floor of the chamber is <b>Radagast</b> and it lands on a boulder
floor. (<i>5m below the top of <b>Radagast</b> it is

possible to swing into a series of small phreatic tubes and immature
vadose shafts trending SW at point PT01 and leading past PT02. This
area does not contain any great leads but may be worth a look as it
is an easy, shallow trip).</i></p>

This leads to a pitch series, <b>Welsh Engineering<b>, which, in 2024, was eventually connected to <b>Hobnob Hallway<b> via the <b>Eye of Sauron<b>. This therefore provides an alternate entrance series. However, in 2024 it was flood prone and the rigging caused problems and would need considerable effort to make safe so it may not be revisited despite the survey not being connected in or completed..</i></p>
