<h2>161 Kaninchenhöhle: Puerile Humour Series</h2>

|

<h2><a name="phumour">Puerile Humour Series</a>
|

(<a href="../../years/1996/index.htm">1996</a>)</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<!-- most likely 95-40 ? from triassic.pt2.11 -->
|
||||
<p>50m beyond (N) <a href="triasp.htm#rpjn">Ring Piece Junction</a>, is a
|
||||
mud-floored passage heading east, with a red and white flagging taped path
|
||||
branching from the main marked route in Triassic Park.

||||
|

<p><center><a href="l/pueril.htm"><img src="t/pueril.jpg" width=156

|
||||
|
||||
<p><a name="thighs">The</a> passage passes a hole on the left,
|
||||
<a name="saarlacc"><b>Saarlacc Pit</b></a>, and encounters a hole in the
|
||||
middle of the passage, <a name="amylno3"><b>Amyl Nitrate</b></a>, after 60m,
|
||||
which is easily bypassed on the right to reach a slippery mud slope up (very
|
||||
greasy handline - see photo).
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a name="vdstart">Up on the right</a> is the top of a pitch, <b>Genital
|
||||
Wart</b>, into <a href="offph.htm#vds">Venereal Diseases Series</a>, which
|
||||
quickly dead ends. Ahead, a trench on the left hand side of the passage
|
||||
continues east as <b>Between the Thighs</b>, to enter the west wall of a
|
||||
chamber c 50m long NNW-SSE. Right up a step leads uphill over mud to a
|
||||
dead-end, <b>Zits</b>, after 25m. To the left, the chamber enlarges and
|
||||
continues 25m to a dead end. A duck under a rock arch to the right soon opens
|
||||
out with a ramp on the left leading back to the previous chamber near the
|
||||
north end. Straight on leads to 1st pitch of <a
|
||||
href="offph.htm#naturalc"><b>Natural City</b></a>. A traverse round the left
|
||||
side of the pitch head leads to a flake. The passage above this is the main
|
||||
way on, whilst a sling on the flake is the rig point.

<h3><a name="lfolly">Lummatt's Folly</a>
|
||||
(<a href="../../years/1996/index.htm">1996</a>)</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Initially described as somewhere to 'throw a couple of legs up' (survey
|
||||
legs) this has proved to be the key to two new entrances and nearly 2 km of
|
||||
cave found in 1996.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A careful 2m climb over the top of the 1st pitch of Natural City (traverse
|
||||
line can be rigged) leads up a short ascending passage to a T-junction. Left
|
||||
continues up a mud slope for 5m and ends, with a shelf on the right.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a name="dbatcha">Turning right</a> through <b>Cyclopentyl Arch</b> leads
|
||||
along a pleasant walking passage for 15m to a rock wall overlooking a pitch
|
||||
into <b>Deadbats Chamber</b>. On the left hand side of this passage is a 2m
|
||||
climb leading to <a href="offph.htm#offlfolly">passages</a> which ultimately
|
||||
end or drop back into the main way.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Deadbats Chamber
|
||||
(<a href="../../years/1996/index.htm">1996</a>)</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Following the downward sloping passage to the left of the wall overlooking
|
||||
Deadbats Chamber at the end of Lummat's Folly, leads to a 4m drop down a
|
||||
rift descending left into the chamber. To the right the rift ascends to an
|
||||
aven. However a bold step off a flake (traverse line recommended) allows the
|
||||
rift to be crossed. Once over, an easy climb down followed by a stoop
|
||||
under one side of a large rock pillar to the left leads to the base of the
|
||||
pitch below the wall at the end of Lummat's Folly. (One of the original
|
||||
dead bats can be found in an alcove to the left here). The chamber (13m x
|
||||
20m) is substantially floored with mud, encrusted with brown calcite.
|
||||
<a href="offph.htm#offdbats">Side leads</a> to the east have not all been
|
||||
pushed to a conclusion, but the main way on is up the mud slope to the north
|
||||
as <b>Batman Series</b>.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="batmans">Batman Series</a>
|
||||
(<a href="../../years/1996/index.htm">1996</a>)</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The slope at the north end of Deadbats Chamber enters a level, sandy
|
||||
floored, arched passageway where abundant bat droppings are evident. 15m
|
||||
along this the passage opens out and a traverse to the left along a sloping
|
||||
mud bank above a <a href="offph.htm#bmspit">large pit</a>, with aven above,
|
||||
is required to gain a continuation of the passage north.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a name="gcjn">walking on down</a> the main passage, past a blind alcove
|
||||
on the right, the passage lowers briefly to stooping height and opens out.
|
||||
Keeping to the right to avoid a fine mud pool and then left back into
|
||||
walking passage is the main way on. Right is just an oxbow with an
|
||||
<a href="offph.htm#offgcj">aven</a>. The main passage reaches a major
|
||||
junction after 15m, <b>Gotham City Junction</b>, where Puerile Humour
|
||||
splits into two major ways on - <a href="phnth.htm#catwoman">Catwoman's
|
||||
Claws</a> to the left and the continuing <a href="pheast.htm#gcjn">Batman
|
||||
Series</a> to the right.
