<h2>How to find it</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The route starts from the stone bridge and takes about 20 minutes.
|
||||
It is cairned all the way. Head to the
|
||||
204e entrance and continue up the gully. The route rises over the broken
|
||||
area known as the <i>Quarries</i> and then heads over the brow of the hill.
|
||||
It then crosses the top of the large broken gully mentioned in the old route
|
||||
below to reach a traverse across a steeply-sloping incised slab. A climb
|
||||
up a gully then reaches a small col where a small path can be followed through
|
||||
the bunde to the left, via a small vegetated bowl, to emerge at the 258b
|
||||
entrance. This entrance is a shaft surrounded by bunde on three sides.
|
||||
The 258a entrance is in the obvious adjacent shakehole.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Old route</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>From the stone bridge, follow the cairns towards 204e entrance. Upon
|
||||
reaching the final gully, where the path turns up to the right towards
|
||||
that entrance, continue straight across and then work to the right,

|
||||
into the gully (passing the shaft of 2004-18) and cross to the other side
|
||||
where an obvious level ascends upwards and to the right. Having reached
|
||||
the top, follow the cairns to the right to arrive quickly at an area with

|

|

|
||||
<h2>Entrance shaft</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><b>Warning:</b> There are a fair number of loose rocks on the entrance
|
||||
pitch, particularly in the top section. Rocks that have been dislodged
|
||||
could fall almost all the way down the shaft.
|
||||
It is advisable for one person to
|
||||
descend at a time and for the others to cower in the places marked below, or
|
||||
wait at the very bottom by the ice stals.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p><b>Warning:</b> Beware of loose rocks.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The entrance, of moderate proportions, gives onto a
|
||||
steeply-sloping shaft that descends for a total of 70m depth. The
|
||||
shaft is imposing, and the view up from mid-descent is impressive.
|
||||
A thread in
|
||||
the bottom of the shakehole is succeeded by a bolt on the left wall under
|
||||
the dripline, enabling a descent for several metres to a small ledge.
|
||||
Working around to the right here gains a rebelay, succeeded by another under
|
||||
a small nose of rock just where the shaft becomes vertical.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
<p>The shaft of the 258b entrance, rigged with an initial belay, deviation and
|
||||
Y-hang just below the lip,
|
||||
gives onto the main entrance shaft just above a single bolt rebelay also
|
||||
accessible from the 258a entrance. 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>[Description needed 2006-258-2-B is missing from the paragraph below - Dave Loeffler or Aaron Curtis or Mark Shinwell]</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>The landing after the rebelay is on a large ledge, partially occupied by
|
||||
a large area of snow. There is a bolt here to anchor the rope, and above
|
||||
is visible the shaft of the B entrance.
|
||||
Upslope leads to an alcove, where it is possible
|
||||
to shelter whilst people are on the upper part of the pitch. The rear of
|
||||
this alcove opens onto the top of a pitch that appears to be of quite
|
||||
some depth [2006-258-1-B]. Downslope from the landing a traverse is followed on
|
||||
the left wall; a bolt low on the wall just before the end provides the
|
||||
belay for a scruffy descent of only two metres to another rebelay on a flat
|
||||
wall. From here, the descent continues either on top of or alongside a
|
||||
large snow plug to a rebelay on the left wall. After this, one continues
|
||||
over a section of loose boulders and then drops in an awkward crack to
|
||||
a crows' nest known as the Col, where there is a further rebelay. (The
|
||||
rigging just above the Col is sub-optimal, and could do with further
|
||||
work.) Care should be taken at the Col not to bang one's head on the
|
||||
boulders above, as their undersides look loose. The Col provides a further
|
||||
place where shelter can be taken from falling debris.</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. The ice stal in
|
||||
the alcove to the left could be ascended with ice and/or climbing equipment
|
||||
to reach a passage [2006-258-5-C].
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Continuing the descent in the main shaft from the Col gains another
|
||||
snow plug and the base of the rift holding the Col. It is possible that
|
||||
this rift could lead to further passage [2006-258-3-B], either accessed from this
|
||||
point or by descending the pitch on the other side at the Col.
|
||||
Abseiling over the snow plug towards the right wall, a high bolt provides
|
||||
the belay for the final section of the pitch. The rope rubs on a boulder
|
||||
here and a deviation should be installed. The final section drops
|
||||
near-vertical for a short distance and then becomes steeply-sloping
|
||||
over snow. Gradually, the snow flattens out (passing a possible way on
|
||||
to the side of the snow plug on the left wall [2006-258-4-C]),
|
||||
and the bottom is reached
|
||||
at a pool of ice. There is an ice stal on the right and another in an
|
||||
alcove to the left. The one in the alcove could be ascended with ice and/or
|
||||
climbing equipment to reach a passage [2006-258-5C].
|
||||
On the existing rigging, reaching this point requires
|
||||
approximately 100 metres of rope, a long sling, and nine hangers.</p>

to the large passage of <b>Ribs with Knödel</b>. Strudel Crawl may also be

<h2>Strudel Crawl</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Following the rift around to the right from the end of
|
||||
Bauernkrapfen Passage, passing some faulted phreatic tubes in the left wall,
|
||||
leads to an opening in the right wall. This sucks strongly and
|
||||
continues as a phreatic passage 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]. This will
|
||||
require rigging to traverse or descend. This then leads to Ribs with Knoedel.</p>
|
||||
<h2>Ribs with Knödel to Caramel Catharsis</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h2>Ribs with Knodel</h2>
|
||||
<p>One exits Strudel Crawl to find the large passage of Ribs with Knödel
|
||||
sloping down to the right. 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>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 into <b>Stone Monkey</b>,
|
||||
to a pitch of a few metres landing on a sandy floor in an
|
||||
impressive chamber.
|
||||
Continuing northwards past the taped floor leads
|
||||
to the <a href="littoralnorth.html">Littoral North</a> and the main part of
|
||||
the cave.
|
||||
The other obvious exit leads to <b>Secret Squirrel</b>.
