<p>A slippery climb down from the traverse over the sump (an extra bolt would be
a good idea) gains a keyhole-shaped inlet passage with an elliptical roof tube
and narrow floor trench. Like Razordance, the passage draughts towards the
sump. The passage runs south-east along the strike for about 30m before
sump. The passage here is The Silk Road, and runs south-east along the strike for about 30m before
turning north-east and heading up-dip in a series of steep meanders for a
short distance. An unpleasant 3m climb up marks a return to south-easterly
progress. The passage briefly splits, with the stream flowing through a pool

notable climb up a large sloping rock which needs a little care. After 90m a passage leads off

short loop looking over the canyon passage. It contains [C2007-204-39 B] on

reasonably climbable with some gear [C2007-204-40-B]. Left leads, via a climb
down, to a continuing rift which heads towards the left zipper/right zipper
area in Razordance. The phreas clearly continues over the top of the vadose
canyon [C2007-204-41-B] but it would require some effort to reach it.</p>
