+Stone Monkey
+
+A draughting hole part way along the Caramel Catharsis traverse becomes a walking-sized passage heading steeply uphill to the east. [HOLE ON LEFT BY STATION 2 - WHAT DOES THIS DO? NOTES IMPLY "SMALL PHREAS" - QM OR TOO TIGHT?]. After 25m, keep left for the way on - two tubes on the right are too tight. The passage continues, past two crawls on the right [QM 07-01 C] [QM 07-02 C], for 35m to a junction. Left (north) leads to a sloping chamber with a phreatic tube leading off [QM 07-100 C]. Straight ahead (east) is the way on.
+
+Continuing straight ahead is a fork. The left fork leads to a 2m climb down to two successive 5m pitches [UNDESCENDED? NO QM].
+
+The right fork is the main way on, and leads past a roof tube on the right [QM 07-03 C] to a junction. Right (south) is the connection to Boulder Surfer, the bottom of the Ducks on Ice route into the cave. Left (north) are a number of QMs. Working round the left hand wall from the point of entry is a climb to twin phreatic passages - the first of which is 2x1m [QM 07-17 A], the neighbouring passage is more of a tube [QM 0764-1 B]; a 4/5m climb down with a continuation [QM 07-16 B]; and a possible passage high in the roof [QM 07-15 B]. [TUNNEL SHOWS A FURTHER WAY ON TO EAST, NOT MARKED AS QM - DOES THIS EXIST?]
+
+The main way on is straight ahead (south east). The passage continues in similar fashion for 35m to a 4m climb up followed immediately by a 5m climb down. There are a few leads on this stretch of passage: a phreatic tube in the north wall of the passage [QM 07-14 C]; two rifts in the south wall [QM 07-12 C] [QM 0758-1 C] [POSSIBLE DUPLICATE OF QM 08-06]; a passage heading south 12m up in the south wall [QM 08-06 B]; and an aven above [QM 07-10 X].

+Texel Passage
+
+Beyond the 5m climb down at the end of Stone Monkey is a chamber with a 4m pitch [ASSUME UNDESCENDED?] [QM 0817-1 B]. The continuation is a very pretty crawling passage with a black sand/mud floor, past a small unexplored passage at floor level on the right [QM 08-07 B]. After 45m the passage enlarges and the floor becomes rocky. The passage continues past a pool on the left at the base of an aven and a bat skeleton to a crawling up through boulders. Beyond the crawl are some black floor deposits (taped off) and a Chamber - "The Claw" - containing a 7m pitch which is the way on.
