<h1>Balkonhöhle description</h1>
<p><em>The PT01 etc points and the RIG01 etc rigs are noted on the 2019 survey to make it easy to match up the survey to the description. The description could be added to the survey so they can be kept updated together and - more importantly - so they can be used together. Ditto the rigging guides.</em></p>

<p>From the entrance (roomy and dry enough to leave surface gear), take the larger, R stooping passage (L passage runs parallel to this and re-joins at the entrance pitch) to reach the entrance pitch series (RIG02 - see rigging guide). This starts as a short, sloping drop which lands at a bridge. From here a second short drop reaches 2 ledges in a much larger shaft. Below these ledges traverse out to the longest hang. <em><strong><em>This is always wet and responds rapidly to rain, quickly becoming unpleasant and it can be impassable.</em></strong></em> This drops down with a deviation to a large, loose, drippy ledge. Traverse out to the final short drop to reach a spacious chamber at the bottom of the entrance pitch series called <strong>Room With A View</strong>. (An emergency dump - bothy, stove, food, etc. - should be left here in case returning cavers find the entrance pitch series too wet to ascend).</p>

<p>Beyond the p40 down to Suction Cup the huge, main passage of <strong>Grand Prix</strong> continues heading steadily SW until it closes down leaving a climb (QM2018 XX) on the L and the connection to deep Tunnocks on the R, at PT11. Here, climbing up to the far corner as the roof lowers reveals a tall but narrow rift with an enticingly strong draft blasting through. After a few metres this rift pops out above a substantial chamber, <strong>Anthemusa</strong>. This looks like it will need rigging to access but, in fact, backtracking and clambering down under boulders allows you to straightforwardly free climb down to the bouldery chamber of Anthemusa.</p>
<p>From the bottom of the down climb immediately and carefully descend the steep, loose boulder slope on the L then traverse down and R to enter the main <strong>Kraken</strong> chamber. A minimal traverse line (RIG13-02, 25m? 3 hangers; <em>could be improved</em>) along the R wall reaches the boulders at the bottom of <strong>Inferno</strong> (the final pitch from Tunnocks coming via String Theory, Procrastination, Bring on the Clowns and the Number of the Beast). Walking up the boulder slope reaches the traverse line for the start of the p50?? ?Kraken pitch (RIG13-03 - see rigging guide) that drops down to a huge chamber which was the site of Camp Kraken in 2016, 2017 and 2018.</p>
