<p>Beyond the stoop is a 3m climb down in a rift below an aven. At the bottom is wide stony passage with abvious ways off to West and North.</p>
<p>West, there is a stepped pitch down to the left [QM A], and a 3m climb up to the right of this (rope needed) leads into a strongly draughting passage which gaoes about 50m to the edge of a large round pitch[QM A]. A continuation [QM B] can be seen 15m away across the far side.</p>

<p>North a 2m climb up leads to an unusual critical-angle pile of water-warn rocks 'Y KeyKey Beach'. The narrowing at the top of this pile (it gets close to the roof) has a stonking gale coming through it. Just beyond this where the passage widens to 8m, behind the large rock on the left is the entrance to 'Rhubard Crumbly', the key to the 'Max Pleasure' area.</p>

<p>Ahead the fine passage only goes for about 20m before reaching the edge of a huge shaft undercutting the RH wall[QM A]. An airy traverse to the left of this reaches another hole on the left down, apparently into the same pitch[QM A]. Immediately ahead is another large hole [QM A]. There appears to be a continuation across the other side - a long bolted traverse away[QM B].</p>

<p>Climbing down behind a large rock in Littoral North gives access to nice walking passage floored with dark dirt.
<h2>Dubious Pleasure</h2>
<h2>Max Pleasure</h2>
<p>High chamber merges back into walking passage. 10m along a soil slope comes in from the right wall, choked to the left, and a low crawl [2007-258-08-B] to the right. The passage slopes gently down until it meets a larger one with the way on going gently up-dip to the right. There is a large boulder at the junction. The continuation of the larger passage on the left is choked with soil.</p>
<p>Past a pillar the passage opens up into a high wide chamber with a deep canyon in the floor, largely covered by boulders. At the start of the chamber a rapidly-lowering passage goes back right for 8m before being choked with sand. At the far end of the chamber you step over the canyon [2007-258-09-A] and have to clamber over some very nice flowstone to proceed. The obvious way on is walking passage but in fact the passage goes at two levels here - you can also climb down below the flowstoned chockstone and follow the canyon upstream to get to the same chamber.</p>
<p>Following the obvious higher level brings you into another chamber with a deep hole in the floor [2007-258-10-A] , mostly blocked by a large jammed boulder. Traversing around the left hand side reaches a 3m climb down to the far side of the hole. This is <strong>Petticoat Junction</strong> where there is a choice of left towards <strong>Let's get Nacked</strong> or ahead across rocks and uphill to <strong>Hedonism Highway</strong>.</p>
<h2>Hedonism Highway</h2>
Very high rocky passage uphill with monster draft (considering passage size) blowing out. This whole passage is formed on a bedding plane sloping at about 25 degrees from horizontal, so everywhere is walkable but quite steeply sloping. A tricky c2 over a block reaches a sandy hading chamber. Going across to the left reaches a very wide, bedding-aligned area with a choice of routes upwards either side of a pillar. [2007-258-11-A] is a passage off to the left. At the top of the wide bit the passage reverts to a phreas with a deep canyon which is largely inaccessibly-narrow. It is at least 8m deep and there are a couple of points one could get in [2007-258-12-C].</p>
<p>Climbing over a large boulder the passage widens due to a junction. The passage goes off left upwards [2007-258-13-A], as does the canyon, and another goes off left downwards [2007-258-14-A].</p>
