A hang of around 10 metres from this +single bolt lands on a flat +floor where there is sometimes a snow plug. (The 258a entrance, no longer +used, was rigged with a thread in the bottom of the shakehole and a bolt +on the left wall under the dripline. This enabled a descent of several +metres to a small ledge, where working around to the right gained a rebelay, +succeeded by the single bolt rebelay mentioned above.) +A bolt on the left +wall (looking down the pitch) may be used to reanchor the rope here. +Upslope leads to an alcove. The rear of this alcove opens onto the +top of a pitch that appears to be of quite some depth [2006-258-1-B] which +may connect with Stone Monkey below.</p> + +<p>Following the left wall, a traverse +leads to a low bolt, which is succeeded by a scruffy descent of only +two metres to another rebelay on a flat wall. The descent continues down +the side, or on top of, a large snow plug to a lip where two bolts in the +ceiling (ring hangers essential) provide a high Y-belay for the next stage +of the pitch. (The original route used in 2006 did not use this Y-belay, +and instead descended via an undercut rift to the left known as The Col.) +A deviation helps slightly to alleviate rope rub on the lip +and is succeeded by a further ledge. There is sometimes a snow plug here, +and upslope, a rift leads off (under The Col) which could maybe lead to +further passage [2006-258-3-B].</p> + +<p>The rope is rebelayed at the ledge, and +after a further rebelay from a nose, drops for a few metres to the head of +a large snow slope. The descent is continued from the same belay all the +way to the bottom of the slope. There is a possible way on to the +side of the snow plug on the left wall [2006-258-4-C]. Passing under +an arch the slope terminates with ice stalactites in alcoves to either side and +(depending on the year) an ice lake or pile of snow.

This chamber is on occasion occupied by a large ice +stalactite and accompanying ice floor. +A small hole to the right gives access to +<b>Bauernkrapfen Passage</b>, a well-formed sloping crawl debouching +into a large rift +chamber, <b>Three Fried Mice</b>. +Following the chamber around to the left +leads to a choke at the bottom of a slope, although before this it is possible +to climb up the wall and through a hole under boulders to gain a higher level, +with a view over the chamber before Bauernkrapfen Passage but no other ways +on.</p> + +<p>Following the rift around to the right from the end of +Bauernkrapfen Passage, passing some small +faulted phreatic tubes in the left wall, +leads to an opening in the right wall. The succeeding phreatic passage, +<b>Strudel Crawl</b>, sucks strongly and +continues sloping down past a delicate traverse over a hole [2006-258-12-C] +to eventually arrive at a further hole in the floor [2006-258-13-B]. A +traverse line is required to cross this. Shortly after the traverse, +there is an eyehole in the right-hand wall (facing downslope), which leads +to the large passage of <b>Ribs with Knödel</b>. Strudel Crawl may also be +followed down without going through the eyehole to reach the same point, +although this route is not recommended for descent, due to a drop underneath.</p> + +<p>[Description needed 2006-258-6-X, 2006-258-7-X, 2006-258-8-X, 2006-258-9-X, 2006-258-10-D, 2006-258-11-C is missing from below - Dave Loeffler or Aaron Curtis or Mark Shinwell]</p> + +<p>[Description needed Flapjack choke qm 2006-258-13B has been removed from tunnel.

In this direction, a hole in the floor is +passed, before a much larger hole right across the passage is reached. +A rope belayed to bolts on the left side of the passage enables a descent to be +made to a point where it is possible to climb down, behind and around a +rock pillar to complete the crossing of the hole. A further passage leads +off from behind this pillar [QM ?].</p> + +<p>After the hole, a sloping traverse is crossed; water enters from the +roof here. This is followed by a long ramp downwards. A rope belayed to +a large thread over towards the left, well back from the lip, enables a +descent towards the right wall to reach the traverse of +<b>Caramel Catharsis</b>. This follows the right wall, still sloping +down and passing a hole in that wall, (leading to <b>Stone Monkey</b>) +to a pitch of a few metres landing on a sandy floor in an +impressive chamber.</p> + +<p>From the foot of Caramel Catharsis, <b>Secret Squirrel</b> is downhill to the left. +The major route is a large, passage leading for around 20m past taped formations on the floor. +The branch to the left here leads to <b>Stomach Ulsa</b>. The main way is through a low arch +straight ahead to a 3m climb down in a rift below an aven, which +can be climbed far enough to see that it probably doesn't go.
