At the end of Flowstone Canyon a 16m pitch drops to PT25 in the Sound of Water with a large aven above. At the top of this 16m pitch a short traverse to the left leads to easy, walking passage that ends at a continuing rift with a waterfall (QMA). This lead may just drop into nearby Alpine Showers but it needs to be definitively checked out.
-At PT25 in the Sound of Water the way on is right up the slope to a broken (16m then 10m) 27m pitch that lands at PT26. Peculiar Pot enters from a rift a few metres down this pitch whilst left at PT25 quickly loops around to overlook Alpine Showers. From the bottom of the pitch at PT26, right (upstream) leads to a waterfall (bolt climbing required). From PT26, turning left (downstream) is Alpine Showers. This follows a talll, narrow, winding rift to two small pitches beside waterfalls (care needed to keep away from water as levels can rise rapidly). This leads to a traverse and another pitch. The streamway is rejoined but soon drops away again and the roof of the rift lowers to a traverse and then a 20m pitch that drops you down to Paradise Lost.

-At the bottom of the p20 there is a 4m pitch. Left leads to a QMC which could perhaps bypass the duck. Turning right goes along a traverse that descends several small pitches and down climbs to eventually end at a ~10m long, draughting duck. Pursuing this QMA would require neoprene and enthusiasm for cold misery.
