Southern Pitstop

-

Southern Pitstop begins as wide, horizontal, walking passage then, after a pool, it starts to slope steeply down. In 2024 a camp was set up on the left. It was muddy but reasonably comfortable for 4 people or 5 at a squash or with hammocks. The walking passage reaches an obvious junction. Here, L slopes up a muddy ramp with hundreds of bat bones - care - this should have a path marked with conservation tape. This passage ends at a pitch with the sound of water (QM2018 XC) and a rift continuing above. This rift may just lead to the same pitch, QM2018 XB. R at the junction continues down to the Safe and Comfortable area. The passage initially descends steeply then enters a complex, open area with multiple interconnected streamways.

-

At this complex area the first R leads up to an aven then goes R and descends a rift. This ends at a small pitch requiring a p8 down then a p6 up to a sloped area above the rift Covid Corner , (RIG12-03; is there a rigging guide?).

Southern Pitstop begins as wide, horizontal, walking passage then, after a pool, it starts to slope steeply down. In 2024 a camp was set up on the left. It was muddy but reasonably comfortable for 4 people or 5 at a squash or with hammocks. The walking passage continues to a right turn where it descends more steeply then soon reaches an obvious junction at PT21. Here, L slopes up a muddy ramp with hundreds of bat bones - care - this should have a path marked with conservation tape. This passage ends at a pitch. Traversing over leads to a too tight rift with a draught and the sound of water whilst on the right over the pitch there is a QMB into a continuing rift that heads upwards.. The main way is to go R at the junction continues down to the Safe and Comfortable area. The passage initially descends steeply then enters a complex, open area with multiple interconnected streamways.

At Covid Corner the easiest way on is to the right where a small recessed area has a tricky and unobvious 4m climb up. Here there is a junction right leads to a passage ending in an undropped p7. Left follows sloping mud banks before the passage turns sharply right and eventually reaching Tampon Turnaround . This is a complex chamber with an interconnected higher and lower section. To the left of the lower section is a short wide crawl downwards which ends in a perpandicular passage. To the left is a QMB crawl. The right passage becomes walking hight and continues, joining first a dry rift then a wet rift which emerges from the left wall (QMB). The passage eventually leads to a junction where both routes on quickly become impassable.
