<p>The main pitch, <b>No bits</b>, is descended by continuing on the rope to a Y-hang using two bolts under the large boulder above the pitch. This gives a free hang to the floor (see: rigging diagram). At the bottom of the pitch, a rift leads off. There is a side passage to the right which becomes too tight after about 10m. The way on is down the rift, which can be descended using a thread and a single bolt to form a Y hang (the beginning of <b>Hammer and thong</b>). At the bottom of this initial narrow descent, the rift can be followed at various levels, but all ways become too tight. Down, <b>Hammer and thong</b> continues with a Y hang at a ledge and a deviation from the left wall (see rigging diagram).</p>
<p>At the bottom of <b>Hammer and thong</b>, the comfortably-sized rift, <b>Pussyprance</b> continues steeply down (rope required - see rigging diagram) to <b>Catflap</b> pitch. To the right at the top of the pitch is a window into a large phreatic passage (~5m wide). To the right, this passage continues for about 25m to a large window, which connects to <b>Catwalk</b> . To the left, the phreatic passage passes a passage in the left hand wall, which could be descended downwards [C2008 ?? B, needs rope] or climbed upwards [C2008 ?? B]. The main passage slopes down to a large chamber, <b> Puss in Bolts </b> (20m across). The chamber can be descended to the right via <b>Painted Lady</b>. Just before the chamber, there is a pitch on the left, which leads to <b>Catawal</b>. </p>

<h3><a id="catwalk">Catwalk</a></h3>
Descending catflap, a window back under the pitch head can be reached at about 5m above the floor of the shaft. this can be swung into, with the rope deviated off of threads in the mud floor, to reach a short section of phreatic passage ending in a 9m climb which can be protected with a rope belayed off a large thread. At the foot of this climb there is a junction - to the left is a spacious pitch and aven[<a href="qm.html#C2009-204-02" id="qC2009-204-02">C2009-204-02 A</a>] - the aven has been connected to one of the large chambers at the bottom of pussy prance.. to the right is a small walking passage ending in a window into a blind pitch with a possible mud-filled continuation opposite [<a href="qm.html#C2009-204-04" id="qC2009-204-04">C2009-204-04 C</a>]. There are two junctions on the right from catwalk - these join after a few meters, and the passage continues past a small waterfall on the left and junction to the right (which loops back into the same passage) to a window at the top of another pitch - snow leopard. This swings into the bottom 15m of Brian's fat shaft, with a continuation of the passage in the wall of the pitch opposite - [<a href="qm.html#C2009-204-10" id="qC2009-204-10">C2009-204-10 B</a>].
<h3><a id="catawal">Catawal</a></h3>
Catawal starts with a 20m nicely-shaped pitch. Right at the bottom of the pitch leads to a small chamber with no ways on. The way on is a tight slot in the floor leading to a small, but less tight rift which ends with a short drop (rope needed), which is followed by another pitch (&lt 10m). Another short pitch follows this, which is undescended [<a href="qm.html#C2009-204-01"

<h3><a id="pbolts">Puss in Bolts</a></h3>
At the bottom of <b>Painted lady</b>, is a window to the left to a large pitch [<a href="qm.html#C2009-204-11"
id="qC2009-204-11">C2009-204-11 A</a>]. To the left of this pitch is a shallower pit, which may be choked [<a href="qm.html#C2009-204-12"
id="qC2009-204-12">C2009-204-12 B</a>]. Around the right-hand wall of the large pitch is an 8-bolt traverse, which starts with a up climb, which has been left permanently rigged (30m rope needed in addition, see rigging diagram). At the end of the traverse is a mud bridge, which leads across to <a href="#prowl">On the Prowl</a>.
<h3><a id="prowl">On the Prowl</a></h3>
On the prowl starts with a traverse along the left hand wall above a blind trench in the floor. The traverse ends with a pitch down (27m rope required for traverse and pitch). A deviation is required after 8m to swing off the pitch into the main chamber; the pitch appears to continue downwards [<a href="qm.html#C2009-204-19" id="qC2009-204-19">C2009-204-19 B</a>]. To the right in the chamber are a number of pitches [<a href="qm.html#C2009-204-22" id="qC2009-204-22">C2009-204-22 A</a>] [<a href="qm.html#C2009-204-23" id="qC2009-204-23">C2009-204-23 A</a>] [<a href="qm.html#C2009-204-24" id="qC2009-204-24">C2009-204-24 B</a>]. To the left, the chamber narrows to a wide passage, at the end of which is a large pitch: <a href="#fatcat">Fat Cat</a>.
<h3><a id="fatcat">Fat Cat</a></h3>
Fat cat is rigged initally from a large boulder in <a href="#prowl">On the Prowl</a>. After 3m, there is a y-hang It is initally narrow, but bells out below a rebelay, about 10m down. The pitch descends into a large chamber with floors at multiple levels. 80m of rope is required to reach the lowest 'floor', at the bottom of which is a slot [<a href="qm.html#C2009-204-30" id="qC2009-204-30">C2009-204-30 B</a>]. About 4m up from the highest level of the chamber is a large phreatic passage, which would require a swing, and probably further rigging to reach [<a href="qm.html#C2009-204-27" id="qC2009-204-27">C2009-204-27 A</a>].
