<p>Clambering up from the base of University Challenge pitch to the top of

soon branches off to the right rapidly closes down.</i> The restricted main

connection into Heavily Soiled passage. <i>Heavily Soiled was originally

accessed via a 5m pitch rigged off naturals just up from the base of

rift and <b><a id="chalkcheese">Chalk and Cheese</a></b> pitch. <i>Before this

the bottom of the canyon, a short traverse (two spits and a natural EARL? <!--

bank gains access up to a large walking passage, Earthenware. This drafts out

strongly and continues north, horizontally, for 100m. Earthenware initially

passes some stalactites, opposite which there is a passage on the left [<a

horizontal phreatic passage, Underware. This continues both left (north) and right (south).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>From the entry points from Earthenware, Underware continues to the left for
|
||||
around 50m north, to end in a huge boulder
|
||||
choke and roof collapse. <i>A small drafting passage off to the right at the
|
||||
start of this collapse zone is the start of <a id="earthenware3">Earthenware
|
||||
III. This passage leads steeply up to a pitch head [<a
|
||||
href="qm.html#C2004-204-43" id="qC2004-204-43">C2004-204-43 C</a>]. Beyond this
|
||||
pitch, to the left, the passage continues to a small chamber. MARTIN Becka
|
||||
claims there were no ways on here but there are three marked in your survey
|
||||
notes [<a href="qm.html#C2004-204-44" id="qC2004-204-44">C2004-204-44 B</a>]

href="qm.html#C2004-204-46" id="qC2004-204-46">C2004-204-46 C</a>]. </i> There
|
||||
is alleged to be at least one passage leading off from the left of Underware by
|
||||
the collapse zone [XXX unnumbered QMs if they exist].</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Underware continues right as large passage to the south, passing a small
|
||||
passage to the left[<a href="qm.html#C2004-204-47"
|
||||
id="qC2004-204-47">C2004-204-47 C</a>], before closing down in a boulder slope.
|
||||
Just before it closes down a large passage leads off up to the left. This
|
||||
climbs up steeply past a huge boulder mid-passage then narrows as it reaches a
|
||||
small mud chamber. Under a boulder on the left of this chamber the passage
|
||||
turns right <!-- and may continue up ahead [QM-B?] - unsubstantiated by survey
|
||||
--> and closes down. The main way on is a drafting thin rift on the left that
|
||||
soon opens out into the bottom of a large sloping passage. This mud-floored
|
||||
ramp climbs up very steeply and in 2004 the survey ended at the point at which
|
||||
protection was needed to continue the ascent [<a href="qm.html#C2004-204-49"
|
||||
id="qC2004-204-49">C2004-204-49 A</a>]. A second passage leads off on the
|
||||
right where the thin rift enters this steep ramp. This second passage again
|
||||
climbs up steeply and appeared to reach an <!-- pitch head [QM-B].--> aven [<a
