boulders leads to a p5. Here the route narrows to a meander
which is followed as close to the roof as possible to a point where
the floor opens out and there is a short traverse (left rigged in
2019) to drop into a boulder-floored aven chamber. Downslope in this
chamber chokes; the way on is an up pitch (left rigged in 2019) onto
the floor opens out and there is a short traverse that drops to a boulder-floored aven chamber. Downslope in this
chamber chokes; the way on is an up pitch onto
another boulder floor, from which a tall meander leads off
(<b>Definitely not the Dachstein</b>).</p>
<p><b>Definitely not

down and one short pitch up) to the top of <b>Wallace</b> (p30) which

drops down to the base of a large meander then lands on a ledge. From
the ledge, two short hangs lead to a very exposed stance below which
the continuing meander bells out into a large free hanging rift
pitch, <b>Grommit</b> (p55). (<i>Traversing S along the walls of the

continuation of </i><i><b>The Second Coming; </b></i><i>this is QMA

2019-12A). </i>Around 10m from the base of Grommit pitch it is
possible to swing onto a ledge on the W wall (this is awkward to rig;
the easiest option is to descend to the base of the pitch and climb
up the wall protected with jammers on the pitch rope). Traversing
along the ledge leads to an abandoned meander with a very strong
outward draft. A short p5 N of PT03 at the far end of the traverse
