<p>At the bottom a c2 down soon leads to the <b>Natural Highs</b> traverse (RIG03 - 30m?, 4 slings?, 2 hangers?); <i>named as it was originally rigged solely using naturals</i>. This traverses along the R wall over a series of pits. At a bridge before the final pit ascend a c4 on the R, either as a straightforward free climb with good holds or a rope can be rigged from anchors high on the R. <i>These anchors are in the sandy <b>Chasm Passage</b> on the R. This stomps uphill for a short distance to reach a ledge to a big pitch the far side of which is PT01; <b>The pitch has probably been descended but this needs checking</b>. Continuing along the traverse beyond the end of the Natural Highs traverse leads to <b>Bipedal Traverse</b> and <b>Bipedal Passage</b>, see separate section below.</i></p>
<h3>Lemon Snout</h3>
<h3>Liar's Bakery to Lemon Snout</h3>
<p>Goes North off Liar's Bakery. Appears as a tall, narrow rift passage with a rocky floor. A short way in the passage turns sharply left then right, with an awkward boulder to scramble around on the second corner. The rift continues sloping gently upward, after a short while the floor drops about a meter and it is advisable to continue by traversing on the obvious footholds. The rift traverse turns right above a hole in the lower level which is large enough to crawl into, but only connects back to the main rift in two other places. Meanwhile, the main traverse curves back left and lowers to meet the floor. After this a pair of smoothed rock bridges cut the passage in two vertically, they can be climbed from between the two but not from the outside. After the bridges the passage forks, with the larger route heading left, and the right-hand route dead-ending after about 50m. A hole on the left route floor shortly after leads steeply down, but doesn't continue. Avoiding this you come to a slightly wider chamber with a cracked black mud floor, and then the rift closes up.</p>

<h2>From the Natural Highs traverse to the Water Source Traverse</h2>
<p>Turning left after the c4 beyond the <b>Natural Highs</b> traverse enters the roomy <b>Leeds Bypass</b> passage <i>- named as the team exploring it heard a team of ULSA cavers who they had overtaken and who were rigging in from P01 coming towards them</i>. <b>Leeds Bypass</b> is a mud-floored phreatic passage which soon divides. <i>R is taped off to protect mud formations.</i> Go L and after a few metres, at the next junction, turn R. <i>( here soon reaches a p40 and ????; a small passage on the far side of the top of the p40 loops back round to the end of the Natural Highs traverse.</i> A third junction follows almost immediately. Here go L <i>R here is the other end of the taped off passage.</i> Descend steeply on slippy, smooth rock. <i>Two modest holes on the L wall of this slippy section lead to the <b>Dark Arts</b>, see separate section below.</i> At the bottom go past a hole on the R, <i>QM35 and QM36, have these been checked?</i>, taking the L passage.</p>
<h2>Dark Arts and Tight Yorkshireman</h2>
<h3>Dark Arts and Tight Yorkshireman</h3>
<p><i>[Description needed to Dark Arts area]. The main stretch of the <b>Dark Arts</b> in tall and narrow. It includes an up pitch and is a combination of stooping, crawling climbing. This section has been thoroughly tidied up. Probably do not return. From Fleur: Leads still remain here including a large, drippy pitch at the far, SE end and a p15 at the S end of Tight Yorkshireman. Becka: there's also a dodgy bit of survey in this section. </i></p>

<p>Continue to descend a c2, go through a short rift section to soon reach the Water Source traverse <b><i>[I'm not sure if this is right - anyone remember between Leeds Bypass and the 2nd traverse?]</i>.</b> (The waterfall on the L at the start of this 2nd traverse is a good place to drink and to check water levels - these are high if the spout below the pool is a single wide sheet, progressively lower if 3, 2 or just 1 spouts. <i><b>[This water and the traverse isn't marked on the survey, it should be]</b></i>. Water Source traverse (RIG04 - 30m?, 7 hangers?, 2 slings?) follows a large ledge on the R wall past 2 long holes to reach a phreatic tube requiring a brief stoop or crawl to a junction <i><b>I don't remember this junction - anyone?</b></i>. <i>A major passage leads off on the R here leading to the <b>Far Side</b> and <b>Flapjack Regained</b> area, see separate section.</i></p>
