<p><b>Salamander Queen</b> is a p30 which is best rigged as a 3-bolt hang. The rigging below here is both poor and confusing but it will eventually pass between 2 and 3 re-belays before reaching the floor of <b>Salamander Queen</b> at PT11. This is in a large canyon with a sump and two or more waterfalls at the southern side which can be easily freeclimbed (the second of which may require a rope to descend). This is expected to lead south or perhaps south west towards <b>Swiss Cheese</b>. This whole area has no survey, just a centreline, and needs fully resurveying.</p>
<p><i> From this point it is not clear how the description relates to the survey given that only the final section has a drawn up survey. The centreline shows a p40 where PT12 is marked on the survey and a p70 where PT13 is marked but it is not clear how these 2 pitches relate to the following description.</i></p>

<p>Heading north from PT11 leads to a high-level traverse for 20m to another pitch-head. Descending this leads to a 1-bolt wonder in good rock and then to a Y-hang which is descended to another traverse. <i>The deviation MUST be used to prevent catastrophic rope rub.</i> At the end of the traverse there is a brief section of walking passage then a further traverse which terminates at a pitch-head with rope rub.This can be descended to a Y-hang which <i>MUST have a rope-protector placed</i> to prevent concerning rope rub. Bottoming this chamber leads to a small calcified aven and small stream at the south side and a large, clean washed, aven at the north. The northern aven can be descended into via a 1-bolt wonder (about 7m) and leads to a high-level, clean-washed rift traverse which quickly opens over a very large chamber (maybe 20m wide, very long and something like 40m+ deep. This may be part of the same rift system seen at the end of <b>Brief Respite</b> and connects back towards <b>Watershed</b> as a hydrological connection at minimum). Continuing in the traverse leads to a phreatic tube on the left, <b>Brief Respite</b>. This is easy stomping passage with a few small waterfalls. After about 80m the passage constricts and leads to an airy traverse over a huge chamber where a distant waterfall can be heard. A Y-hang is in place to drop the chamber. The chamber is expected to be around 50m+ deep.</p>
