<h2>How to find it</h2> <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.

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.

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].

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>

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>

<h2>Strudel Crawl</h2>
<p>Following the rift around to the right from the end of <h2>Ribs with Kn&ouml;del to Caramel Catharsis</h2>
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 Knodel</h2> <p>One exits Strudel Crawl to find the large passage of Ribs with Kn&ouml;del
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>.
