several clear pools in the floor to a widening. Around the widening, most
routes ahead and to the left are choked with boulders. There are two ways on.
On the left-hand side is a small awkward chamber, from which a short pitch
leads into <a href="nopain.html#kingcarbide">'King Carbide</a>. On the right
a body sized tube leads upwards for ~15m before twisting left into a low
chamber, <b><a id="kidneybean">Kidney Bean</a></b>. Perhaps an enlarged
bedding plane, this has possible QMs in a hole in the floor [<a
href="qm.html#C2000-204-71" id="qC2000-204-71">C2000-204-71 C</a>] and in a
narrow passage at the northern corner of the chamber [<a
href="qm.html#C2000-204-70" id="qC2000-204-70">C2000-204-70 B</a>]. Round to
the left it is bounded by an area of breakdown, possibly the far side of a
boulder choke visible from the widening. Back at the entrance to Kidney Bean,
the main way on continues through a low gap. This opens to stooping height and
winds upwards. The passage continues over some old gour pools to a flat out
section (not really a squeeze, except for lardarses) not pushed, but running
water could be heard [<a href="qm.html#C2000-204-69"

crawling up over unpleasant sharp mobile boulders leads to a body sized tube
sloping slightly upwards. After around 15m it twists left to land in a muddy
puddle at a slight widening in the passage, which continues for another 3m or
so to a low chamber, <b><a id="kidneybean">Kidney Bean</a></b>, possibly an
enlarged bedding plane. A hole in the floor in the chamber is blind. At the
northern end of the chamber is a narrow crawl; this connects with a wider
crawling passage leading off from a junction at the end of the body-sized tube.
The combined passage enlarges to stooping size and continues past old gour
pools to a low mud squeeze. This was passed in 2006 after some excavation to
emerge in a low bedding chamber, <b><a id="deathglory">Death Or Glory</a></b>.
Straight ahead is a horrendous boulder choke (Death), with a propensity to drop
large rocks on people. Slightly to the right of this is a narrow crawl with a
hole in the floor; this is a 3m chimney climb down (Glory), emerging in <a
href="treeumphant.html#waterfall">Waterfall Chamber</a> at the end of the
Colonnade. Back in the bedding chamber, one can crawl up to the right to a
junction with several small tubes, all of which are too tight.</p>
