<p>Northern Pitstop follows downstream in spacious walking passage (care to keep to the path) to enter a medium sized chamber (<i>here, R is a QMA at a strongly drafting, wet pitch. <b> This was explored but, unfortunately, neither surveyed or derigged in 2024, grrr </b>; L is a QMB up a sloping climb / aven)</i>. The main route continues opposite where you enter this chamber, down a c2. The easy walking passage <i>passes a QMB climb on the L <b>{does this exist? It's on the survey but maybe a mistake?}</b> and another left that just leads to an aven and </i> continues until it briefly lowers to a 3m crawl on mud. This opens up to a high sloping passage. Clamber up on the L and continue in easy walking passage to finally reach a bouldery ledge overlooking a medium sized chamber. A sneaky clamber between the boulders on the R <b>(care, the one you climb over moves a bit)</b> allows you to free climb down to the upper part of the chamber <i>(there are aven QMs above the lower part of the chamber)</i>. The only exit to the chamber involves crossing it to the far, N wall and clambering down either of two nearby holes. Both holes drop a p6 to reach the same point <i>(This pitch is awkward and needs a rigging guide,</i> RIG12-05).</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The p6 lands in <b>Northern Powerhouse</b>, a further section of horizontal passage. It begins with two parallel passages, both tight but the R is easier (<i>the L passage has a QMA climb off on the L)</i>. These two passages re-join and, shortly after, you arrive at a balcony looking out onto a large, wet pitch <i>the small L descending passage immediately before the balcony soon ends whilst an easy-to-miss c4 on the R a few metres before the balcony leads to a second balcony which overlooks the same big pitch</i>. This deep pitch is as yet undescended, QM2018-A.</p>

<p>The p6 lands in <b>Northern Powerhouse</b>, a further section of horizontal passage. It begins with two parallel passages, both tight but the R is easier (<i>the L passage has a QMB climb off on the L, though this may simply loop back to the chamber you have just come from)</i>. These two passages re-join and, shortly after, you arrive at a balcony looking out onto a large, wet pitch <i>the small L descending passage immediately before the balcony soon ends whilst an easy-to-miss c4 on the R a few metres before the balcony leads to a second balcony which overlooks the same big pitch. This <b>Northern Powerhouse</b> pitch descends 50m - care, loose rocks - to a wet chamber. From this chamber a c10 leads to an aven.</i></p>

<p>A traverse (care, loose rocks) along the L wall from the first balcony is followed by an ascent of a short pitch (RIG12-06, see rigging guide) to reach the upper part of the chamber above the big pitch and the start of <b>Medusa's Maze.</b> <i>This upper chamber was originally accessed by a climb on the R wall then a squeeze through loose boulders - not recommended.</i> From this upper chamber a QMB passage leads off the L wall. The main passage continues W out of the chamber via a c5 down. This is easiest to descend by climbing past boulders on the R wall with a possible QMB at this point. The main passage soon reaches a 4 way junction. Ahead quickly leads to a pitch, QM2019-B. L enters a low, wide room and is an enticing QM2019-A. R immediately goes to a T-junction. <i>I won't continue to describe the route here until at least some of the QMs are cleared up and the main way on is clear.</i></p>

<p>The main way on from the balcony above the <b>Northern Powerhouse</b> pitch is to traverse (care, loose rocks) along the L wall then to ascend a short, awkward pitch (RIG12-06, see rigging guide) to reach the upper part of the chamber above the big pitch and the start of <b>Medusa's Maze.</b> <i>This upper chamber was originally accessed by a climb on the R wall then a squeeze through loose boulders - not recommended. From this upper chamber a passage leads off the L wall to a pitch then to Gorgon's Lair - this is more easily reached via the main route, see below. </i> The main passage continues W out of the chamber via a c5 down. This is easiest to descend by climbing past boulders on the R wall with a possible QMB at this point. The main passage soon reaches a 4 way junction. Ahead quickly leads to a pitch, QM2019-B.
