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>
