The pitch series begins with a short pitch of 5m rigged from a large thread in
the roof a few metres back, with a single spit for the vertical part, which is
almost a scramble. This lands on a large ledge formed of boulders wedged across
a narrow point; there are two choices of descent here, one to the north,

<p>The pitch is rigged with a traverse line which descends steeply to the nose

<p>The next pitch of 14m consists of a backup bolt followed by a Y-hang, which
utilises one very cratered spit, which can only be used with a bollard type
hanger. This pitch requires a deviation from the opposite wall or a rebelay to
be installed as there is currently a rub point just below the Y-hang. The ledge

boulders wedged across the shaft, although
it seems sound. A backup bolt protects the approach to the Y-hang at the head

deviation optimises the hang, the walls of the shaft bell out dramatically and
