<p>At the junction at PT03 the main route goes L to a c2 down into a short rift that soon reaches a p6 (RIG05 - 18m?, 5 hangers? <i>Awkwardly rigged, could be improved</i>). This drops to a large ledge <i>(the pitch continues below here, wet. This pitch probably connects to the p56 by PT03 described in the Far Side section)</i>. From the ledge turn R to follow the rift down to a c2. Descend this and follow varied passage (note the level traversed at in the rift for the return) to a chamber with a water inlet then past a run-in of distinctive, white stones then to a small chamber with a pit on the L <i>(this is still a QM and is undescended I believe)</i>. At the pit, take the c3 up through a window on the R of the central pillar and climb over boulders (care - the boulders may be loose, use the worn route; do not climb direct, to the L of the pillar). At the top turn L. <i>R leads steeply up to the base of a climb, <b>Backslash</b>, QM83X. This ascends a steeply sloping aven. The climb was started in 2019 by Radost and Crossley and is still going. It lacks a centreline or survey</i>. From here follow easy, ascending walking passage for ~100m to reach a distinctive four way junction, the <b>Trident</b>, with a prominent survey station 34 painted on it.</p>
<h2>Beyond the Trident</h2>
<h2>North from the Trident</h2>
<p>At the Trident turn L <i>(straight ahead soon ends at QM73C). (R leads to a <b>CHECK chamber with a deep hole which cannot be traversed without rigging???? CHECK.</b> Beyond this hole is the complex chamber at PT04. At PT04 the main route comes in from the L (W), and continues up a climb to the N whilst the passage to the R leads E then S back towards the entrance, eventually looping back to PT03 via <b>Flapjack Regained</b> and the <b>Far Side</b>)</i>. After 4m the main route continues up, curving R at PT05. <i>Here, at PT05, an obscure L turn leads to <b>Honeycomb Pitch</b>. This is the only route to the lowest levels of Balkonh&ouml;hle, see separate section.</i></p>
<p>Continue to follow this L, main passage up to a T junction. <i>L here quickly leads to a complex junction. From this complex junction heading L (to the S) leads to a wet pitch at <b>Cathedral Chasm</b> and this eventually connects back around SE to PT05 via <b>Avalanche Experience</b> and the <b>Mendips</b>; R, to the N connects back to the main route at PT06 near <b>Turtlehead</b>; a further R - a few metres W of the 1st R - heads N for some distance then ends <b>at what? No QM?</b>. </i></p>
<p>At the Trident turn L.</p>
<p><i>.Straight ahead passes QM74C then ends at QM73C. R leads to a <b>CHECK chamber with a deep hole which cannot be traversed without rigging???? CHECK.</b> Beyond this hole is the complex chamber at PT04, where the main route (ie going L at the Trident) comes in from the L (W)and then the main route continues up a climb to the N whilst the passage to the R leads E then S back towards the entrance, eventually looping back to PT03 via <b>Flapjack Regained</b> and the <b>Far Side</b>)</i>.</p>
<p>From the L at the Trident it is just 4m to PT05.</p>
<p><i>Here, at PT05, an obscure L turn leads to <b>Honeycomb Pitch</b> via a short, flat-out crawl. This is the only route to the lowest levels of Balkonh&ouml;hle, see separate section.</i></p>
<p>The main route to the remaining upper horizontal passages of Balkonhoehle, to the north, continues past PT05, curving R until it reaches a T junction. <i>L here quickly leads to a complex junction. From this complex junction heading L (to the S) leads to a wet pitch at <b>Cathedral Chasm</b> and this eventually connects back around SE to PT05 via <b>Avalanche Experience</b> and the <b>Mendips</b>; R, to the N connects back to the main route at PT06 near <b>Turtlehead</b>; a further R - a few metres W of the 1st R - heads N for some distance then ends <b>at what? No QM?</b>. </i></p>
<p>R at the T junction immediately reaches PT04 at a chamber with 5 routes off. <i>R, to the S, is the end of the route from the R turning at the Trident, described above. Ahead, to the E, is the route into Flapjack Regained and the Far Side described in a separate section</i>. The main route involves a c4 up the L wall of the chamber at PT04 then continue straight north along <b>Turtlehead</b>. <i>The 1st L ends in a dig. The 2nd L and 3rd L soon re-join at PT06 and then lead to Cathedral Chasm. </i></p>
