[svn r6526] Fettled description pages somewhat; also added a survey for 2003 (but missing a scale bar and title box).

<p>There are significant ledges and other footholds around for most of the way, which is just as well given the variable quality of the rock. Starting from the pitch-head traverse line, it is possible to climb up onto a large ledge. After around 10m this ledge runs out and the traverse continues as a blank wall for a few metres. A pull up onto a muddy ledge signals the halfway point. Here a muddy tube slopes up to a mud/sand choke [<a href="qm.html#C2003-204-52" id="qC2003-204-52">C2003-204-52 C</a>].</p>

<p>A sandy crawl (formerly QM 2001-14B) leads to a small passage. This closes off up + to the right; the main way goes past a dead furry bat to a sandy hole which was dug out in 2003. This tube goes up steeply. At the top, straight ahead leads up into small chamber, with a pitch up + to the right from there [<a href="qm.html#C2003-204-32" id="qC2003-204-32">C2003-204-32 C</a>].

The main way from the sandy tube follows the draft to the left, along a crawling tube past a couple of not-bad straws into a small chamber. There is a thin, deep, narrow rift to the right (leading to a small shaft?). Ahead, there is a nasty loose hole to left but the main way is under a low wall + crawl up a ramp on the right side. Over a loose boulder wall, to the right went to a pitch head with a huge boulder perched on top [<a href="qm.html#C2003-204-35" id="qC2003-204-35">C2003-204-35 B</a>].
