<p><i>Continuing the traverse rather than climbing up to the body-sized tube ascends to an obvious, large passage, <b>Hangman's Daughter.</b> 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 Balkonh&ouml;hle 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 <b>Fecking Tight</b>. </i></p>
<p> 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 <b>Mongol Rally</b> (approx p200, RIG12 - see rigging guide; <i>named after George and Luke saw cars on their ferry out to Expo that were heading out to do the Mongol Rally</i>).</p>

<p>The upper part of <b>Mongol Rally</b> 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 <b>Pitstop</b>. <i>PT07 is around 130m below the <b>Mongol Rally</b> pitch head and <b>Pitstop</b> is described in a separate section below</i>.</p>

<h3>Pitstop and Turnback Time</h3>
<p>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 <b>Turnback Time</b>. This ends at two??? undescended pits that are nearly above large, lower passages so they probably just connect in, QM2018 XX.</p>

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.</p>
<p>The main way on from PT07 is the short, stooping passage to the S that soon opens up. <i>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</i>. 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.</p>
