Continuing east soon reaches a three-way junction at PT21, in a confusing, mazy area. The usual route is to go right to a second junction, where right again leads the the top of a p5 down. Just before PT21 a tube high on the right leads to a passage which emerges above and opposite the p5 after a few metres of crawling. -At PT21 if you instead turned left at the junction then keep left at a second junction (right here loops you back to the bottom of the p5 described earlier; this route thus bypasses the p5 but it is not recommended as falling into the static sump would likely be -fatal) you reach a -steeply descending phreas with a squeeze to a steep sided static -sump. A 12m traverse line over the static sump leads to a phreatic tube that pops out at the basin of Heifer. From here, a p5 climb up then a p7 up takes you into a rift.

Traverse over this sump to a small rift that continues for about 20 meters. To the right is a QMC bolt climb into a rift. This is not marked on the survey.The passage continues as a low, difficult traverse over a pool. This can be drained slightly by digging. The passage opens up on the other side to a tall rift which continues to Cowlick Aven. This is a large aven with some pheatic leads going onwards and a large aven in the roof that discharges bunde. A large passage goes upwards to the right requiring a bolt climb to enter.

From the bottom of the p5 that follows soon after PT21, the passage develops a deep trench in the floor so a traverse line is needed and soon leads to an obvious T junction at PT22. To the R at the T junction at PT22 leads to a splashy aven and the head of an immature canyon, a QM ?2019-3C_which is probably not_worth_the_misery, this could lead to the QMC in Simple Pleasures). The pitch in the floor at PT22, Simple Pleasures, drops into a small chamber which leads quickly into a larger chamber, Cupids Cavern. This has a streamway rift in the floor entering from the right (QMC, possibly coming from the QM ?2019-3C above. Straight across Cupids Cavern another short section of rift leads into a small aven chamber with water entering on the left. A short traverse to the right leads to a phreatic keyhole passage, with the easiest going at roof level in the phreas. This ends at a very promising QMA.
