+The Littoral North leads northwards out of the chamber below Caramel +Catharsis past taped formations on the floor. The roof lowers and the sandy +passage continues to a further taped formation.

To the left a passage leads almost immediately to a tricky climb +(rope recommended) +up to +the right.
