Left at the crossroads leads to Big Bastard, an as-yet undropped pitch expected to be 80+m in depth.

+ +(perseid area based on Nat Daltons notes): Below first few bolts swift progress was made due to some optimistic rigging until a large window was encountered. This seemed wetter than the drippy clean-washed shaft I was in, so I carried on down our original shaft until I reached a particularly puzzling section. This whole section is clean washed and feels like it will get wet, but I was unable to avoid it entirely; it will be interesting to see what this does on a wetter year. A few more bolts took me to ~30m above a large ledge with a big black hole swallowing lights (and rocks; a ~3 second drop plus rattle @ end). At this point I was down to my last hanger so put a rebelay in with a vague hope of being able to progress further down. After ~100m rope of pitch descended we headed back.
