<p>A sandy crawl (formerly QM 2001-14B) leads to a small passage. This closes off up + to the right; the main way goes past a dead furry bat to a sandy hole which was dug out in 2003. This tube goes up steeply. At the top, straight ahead leads up into small chamber, with a pitch up + to the right from there [<a href="qm.html#C2003-204-32" id="qC2003-204-32">C2003-204-32 C</a>].

The main way from the sandy tube follows the draft to the left, along a crawling tube past a couple of not-bad straws into a small chamber. There is a thin, deep, narrow rift to the right (leading to a small shaft?). Ahead, there is a nasty loose hole to left but the main way is under a low wall + crawl up a ramp on the right side. Over a loose boulder wall, to the right went to a pitch head with a huge boulder perched on top [<a href="qm.html#C2003-204-35" id="qC2003-204-35">C2003-204-35 B</a>]. It's possible to free-climb down this rift to the left to a drippy floor, and Martin climbed a further 2m below this without reaching the bottom of the shaft (doesn't look promising though). Various tubes above pitch head probably don't go [<a href="qm.html#C2003-204-34" id="qC2003-204-34">C2003-204-34 C</a>] [<a href="qm.html#C2003-204-36" id="qC2003-204-36">C2003-204-36 C</a>].
