<p><i>Proper description needed to Dark Arts area. The main stretch of the <b>Dark Arts</b> in tall and narrow. It includes an up pitch and is a combination of stooping, crawling climbing. This section has been thoroughly tidied up. Probably do not return. From Fleur: Leads still remain here including a large, drippy pitch at the far, SE end and a p15 at the S end of Tight Yorkshireman. Becka: there's also a dodgy bit of survey in this section. </i></p>
<p>Continue along the L passage to descend a c2, go through a short rift section and a short crawl to soon reach the <b>Water Source traverse</b><i>[I'm not sure if this is right - anyone remember between Leeds Bypass and the 2nd traverse?]</i>. The waterfall on the L at the start of this 2nd traverse is a good place to drink and to check water levels - these are high if the spout below the pool is a single wide sheet, progressively lower if 3, 2 or just 1 spouts. It was also used in 2023 and 2024 to wash and store rope.<i><b>[This water and the traverse isn't marked on the survey, it should be]</b></i>. <b>Water Source traverse</b> (RIG04 - 30m?, 7 hangers?, 2 slings?) follows a large ledge on the R wall past 2 long holes to reach a phreatic tube requiring a brief stoop or crawl to a junction <i><b>I don't remember this junction - anyone?</b></i>. <i>A major passage leads off on the R here leading to the <b>Far Side</b> and <b>Flapjack Regained</b> area, see separate section.</i></p>

<h2>From the Water Source Traverse to the Trident</h2>
<p>The phreatic tube at the end of the <b>Water Source traverse</b> immediately leads to a junction at PT03. <i>A major passage, the <b>Far Side</b>, leads off on the R here that goes to the <b>Flapjack Regained</b> area, see separate section below.</i></p>
<h3>Far Side and Flapjack Regained area</h3>
<p><i><b>[AT WHAT POINT DOES THE MAJOR PASSAGE TO THE FAR SIDE LEAD OFF AND HOW?] This leaves the main route at PT03. </b></i></p>
<p>Go L to a c2 down into a short rift that soon reaches a p6 (RIG05 - 18m?, 5 hangers? <i>Awkwardly rigged, this should be improved</i>). This drops to a large ledge <i>(the pitch continues with no survey data, is this still a QM?)</i>. Turn R to follow the rift down to a c2. Descend this and follow varied passage to <b><i>a chamber with a water inlet</i> - IS THIS HERE OR IS IT BEFORE PITCH, PERHAPS WHERE FAR SIDE GOES OFF? -</b> then to a small chamber with a pit on the L <i>(this is still a QM and is undescended I believe)</i>. 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>. This ascends a steeply sloping aven. The climb was started in 2019 by Radost and Crossley and is still going</i>; QM83X. From here follow easy, ascending walking passage to reach a distinctive three way junction, the <b>Trident</b>, with a prominent survey station 34 painted on it.</p>
<p><i>Leave the main route immediately after the end of the <b>Water Source traverse</b> at PT03. <b> Description missing from here (though the p59 survey looks like it descends here, right by PT03, and links back to the bottom of RIG05). Also from the survey it looks easier to get to Flapjack regained by going to the Trident then looping back around via PT04.</b></i></p>
<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>
