Upon reaching the final gully, where the path turns up to the right towards that entrance, continue straight across and then work to the right, traversing around the rear lip of a hole. This leads to the bottom of a loose climb, which is ascended to reach another level. A prominent Christmas tree style fir marks the point where another climb is made to the next level up. It is then necessary to ascend to the next level above this, either by a short traverse and then a narrow climb between two blocks, or by heading right and then heading back up to the left. Having done this, a short ascent on small loose stones brings one to the uppermost level, marked by a prominent cairn (visible from the stone bridge).
Follow the cairns around to the left, descending slightly at first and then maintaining the same level, to eventually reach a cairned point overlooking a large broken gully running from right to left. Descend into the gully (passing the shaft of 2004-18) and cross to the other side where an obvious level ascends upwards and to the right. Having reached the top, follow the cairns to the right to arrive quickly at an area with a hole to each side. The shakehole to the left, containing a cairn some two feet high, contains the A entrance; the B entrance is the other hole.
