<p>From <a href="#cavetreechamber">Cave Tree Chamber</a>, an exposed climb (a
traverse line is a sensible precaution) above a pitch gains a comfortably
proportioned walking passage, which ascends steadily. After 20 metres, the
passage turns sharp left; here there are two unpromising leads, a narrow rift
[<a href="qm.html#C2001-204-39" id="qC2001-204-39">C2001-204-39 C</a>] to the
right and straight ahead a possible opening in a pocket just above head-height
[<a href="qm.html#C2001-204-40" id="qC2001-204-40">C2001-204-40 C</a>]. The
passage continues to climb, turning sharp right and again sharp left, to reach
a pile of breakdown over which it is possible to crawl. Some 40 metres beyond
the breakdown there are two crawls on the left, which become too tight.
Another 30 metres reaches a climb down into the base of an aven [<a
href="qm.html#C2001-204-42" id="qC2001-204-42">C2001-204-42 X</a>].</p>
<p>There are two ways on from the aven; straight ahead leads after 30 metres to
a pitch [<a href="qm.html#C2001-204-38" id="qC2001-204-38">C2001-204-38 A</a>]
with an aven [<a href="qm.html#C2001-204-41" id="qC2001-204-41">C2001-204-41
X</a>] above it, and a continuing passage [<a href="qm.html#C2001-204-37"
id="qC2001-204-37">C2001-204-37 B</a>] on the far side. Back at the aven, a
climb up on the left (handline useful) gains a short section of passage to
another climb down into a small chamber.</p>
<p>Again there are two ways on; to the left leads after 25 metres to a choke,
but there is a small hole in the north wall half-way along [<a
href="qm.html#C2001-204-36" id="qC2001-204-36">C2001-204-36 C</a>], while back
in the chamber a climb up straight ahead (handline useful) leads after 15
metres to a T-junction. To the right ascends and enlarges for 20 metres before
reaching a draughting choke with a narrow gap between the rocks and the ceiling
[<a href="qm.html#C2001-204-43" id="qC2001-204-43">C2001-204-43 Dig</a>]. To
the left the passage soon swings right to where a false floor of boulders
conceals a pitch [<a href="qm.html#C2001-204-44"
id="qC2001-204-44">C2001-204-44 B</a>]. Traversing carefully over the pitch, a
climb up leads to the head of another pitch. Here, a very strongly draughting
tube on the right soon reaches a blockage [<a href="qm.html#C2001-204-35"
id="qC2001-204-35">C2001-204-35 Dig</a>], while a traverse across the pitch to
an apparent continuation merely gains an alcove. The pitch is 7 metres; at the
bottom a short crawl leads to a small chamber containing 'The Eleven Second
Rattle' [<a href="qm.html#C2001-204-34" id="qC2001-204-34">C2001-204-34 A</a>],
a pitch down which stones clatter for a Long Time (measured with a
stopwatch).</p>
