<p>A traverse (care, loose rocks) along the L wall from the first balcony is followed by an ascent of a short pitch (RIG12-06, see rigging guide) to reach the upper part of the chamber above the big pitch and the start of <b>Medusa's Maze.</b> <i>This upper chamber was originally accessed by a climb on the R wall then a squeeze through loose boulders - not recommended.</i> From this upper chamber a QMB passage leads off the L wall. The main passage continues W out of the chamber via a c5 down. This is easiest to descend by climbing past boulders on the R wall with a possible QMB at this point. The main passage soon reaches a 4 way junction. Ahead quickly leads to a pitch, QM2019-B. L enters a low, wide room and is an enticing QM2019-A. R immediately goes to a T-junction. <i>I won't continue to describe the route here until at least some of the QMs are cleared up and the main way on is clear.</i></p> <p>A traverse (care, loose rocks) along the L wall from the first balcony is followed by an ascent of a short pitch (RIG12-06, see rigging guide) to reach the upper part of the chamber above the big pitch and the start of <b>Medusa's Maze.</b> <i>This upper chamber was originally accessed by a climb on the R wall then a squeeze through loose boulders - not recommended.</i> From this upper chamber a QMB passage leads off the L wall.

<h3>Base of Mongol Rally along Grand Prix to Little Boy Chamber</h3>
<p>The massive chamber at the base of Mongol Rally seems only to have one way on, <b>Grand Prix</b>. This is reached by initially descending past huge boulders then traversing up R as the roof lowers and the walls close in. This passage soon reaches the p15 into <b>Little Boy chamber</b> (RIG13, see rigging guide). This pitch starts with a protected c2 down to a loose, muddy slope and then a vertical drop with a rebelay into a large, attractive round chamber. <i>Little Boy chamber was used as a camp later on the 2018 Expo by moving the camping gear from Camp Kraken in Tunnockschacht which had been used in 2016, 2017 and early 2018; the Little Boy camp was not used in 2019 and was completely removed that year.</i></p> <p>The massive chamber at the base of Mongol Rally seems only to have one way on, <b>Grand Prix</b>.
