Continuing the traverse rather than climbing up to the body-sized tube ascends to an obvious, large passage, Hangman's Daughter. This splits to two parallel passages that soon re-join then end at a small pitch down (RIG10-03 - see rigging guide). This drops into a small chamber with apparently no way on. However, the team exploring from Balkonhöhle spotted a well-placed survey station there and, after some scrutiny, spotted the tiny tube high on the SW wall that provided the 2nd connection made to Tunnockschacht, at Fecking Tight.

Entering the body-sized tube, wriggle through for a few metres. It is easier to drag large tacklesacks. The passage soon widens, stay on the L wall, and quickly reaches a p4 (RIG11 - see rigging guide). This drops to a large ledge with a slot down. Keep on rope to protect the walk along the ledge then up a muddy slope to reach the ledge at the top of Mongol Rally (approx p200, RIG12 - see rigging guide; named after George and Luke saw cars on their ferry out to Expo that were heading out to do the Mongol Rally).

The upper part of Mongol Rally feels surprisingly friendly as it descends via numerous rebelays and 3 large ledges then 2 hanging rebelays to a rebelay at PT07. This is at an obvious, large window that leads to an extensive, largely horizontal level called Pitstop. PT07 is around 130m below the Mongol Rally pitch head and Pitstop is described in a separate section below.

Pitstop and Turnback Time

-

The Pitstop area begins at PT07, at a large ledge which you swing into from the main Mongol Rally pitch in order to do a rebelay. At this ledge, straight ahead, to the E, soon closes down. A traverse (RIG12-02 - see rigging guide) along the N wall leads to a large and obvious horizontal passage on the far side of the main Mongol Rally pitch, called Turnback Time. This ends at two??? undescended pits that are nearly above large, lower passages so they probably just connect in, QM2018 XX.

A traverse (RIG12-02 - see rigging guide) along the N wall leads to a large and obvious horizontal passage on the far side of the main Mongol Rally pitch, called Turnback Time. This goes up a c4 then bends left (ahead becomes too tight) and ends at two QMB 2018 undescended pits that are nearly above large, lower passages so they probably just drop in to them.

The main way on from PT07 is the short, stooping passage to the S that soon opens up. Continuing ahead leads immediately to some deep, undescended pits, QM2018 XX, that probably connect down to the large chamber at the base of Mongol Rally. Take the walking passage on the L. This ramps down steeply, zig zagging until it pops out at an obvious, important T-junction with a significant stream entering from above. This is a good source of drinking water. At this T-junction, L enters Southern Pitstop and R goes to Northern Pitstop.
