through a small hole in the floor, which can be descended via a backup round

the large boulder, a flake in the floor and a rope protector. This is <b><a

down to a ledge with large fossils visible in the floor and walls, where the

the small chamber, a trickle of water emerges from a small slot in the

ceiling.</i> The main way on is down on the left of the small chamber, through
|
||||
a small hole in boulders in the floor to<b><a id="tapeworm">Tape Worm</a></b>
|
||||
pitch. This is descended via a backup round the large boulder and a Y-hang on
|
||||
spits (care to avoid rubs), then a rebelay off a horizontal thread just below
|
||||
a small ledge. Tape Worm pitch lands at a roomy ledge with large fossils
|

visible in the floor and walls. Here the small rift of Tape Worm joins the

larger shaft of <b><a id="lxtape">LX Tape</a></b> pitch. <i>Looking out to the

descends, via a deviation on the left wall just below the main ledge, and then

a second deviation on a natural only around 4m lower but much further along.

LX Tape pitch is then rebelayed just below a rock bridge near another large

<p> LX Tape pitch lands in another small chamber. Here a spit backup then a
|
||||
crawl through an eye-hole to a bolted Y-hang provides the main hang for
|
||||
<b><a id="sellotape">Sellotape</a></b>(or eye hole pitch). This is a fine, 2m
|
||||
wide rift which lands in a slight puddle. A horizontal floor leads 5m to a roomy
|
||||
ledge on the left of the main rift. A bolted traverse to the end of the ledge
|
||||
reaches the <b><a id="trihang">Trihang</a></b> pitch-head. This is no longer
|
||||
rigged as a tri-hang but instead around the large natural above the ledge.
|
||||
Tri-Hang pitch descends beyond a small ledge which has a bolted deviation level
|
||||
with the ledge down to a small puddle. Here wellies and jammers should be
|
||||
washed clean of mud prior to ascent (washing-up brush left there in 2004 for
|
||||
this purpose). The tight rift continues down
|
||||
[<a href="qm.html#C2003-204-02" id="qC2003-204-02">C2003-204-02 B</a>] but the
|
||||
way on is up an awkward and steep bolted traverse up the right wall of the rift
|
||||
on a small-to-vanishing ledge. After 5m this reaches the top of the final
|
||||
pitch, <b><a id="cerberus">Cerberus</a></b>. <i>The traverse is best rigged by
|
||||
free-climbing to the top of Cerberus pitch on the left side of the rift then
|
||||
rigging the traverse from the top. At the pitch-head for Cerberus, above the
|
||||
traverse up to it, there is a small tube, <b><a id="eeyore">Eeyore</a></b>.
|
||||
This leads off up on the right and is floored with thick, sticky mud. After
|
||||
around five metres of crawling, Eeyore opens out into a moderately large
|
||||
chamber. A bolted Y-hang on the right wall drops down to a ledge and then to a
|
||||
second bolted Y-hang to the steeply descending floor of the chamber. There is
|
||||
a small pitch on the left
|
||||
[<a href="qm.html#C2004-204-68" id="qC2003-204-68">C2003-204-68 B</a>] which may
|
||||
link to the lower pitch in Eeyore. At the bottom of the chamber a small muddy
|
||||
passage leads off on the left to a rift. This can be free-climbed down to the
|
||||
head of <b><a id="kanga">Kanga</a></b>. </i> Cerberus is a steeply sloping, very muddy ramp down. It is

rigged from a bolted Y-hang and then a deviation from a natural the left wall.
