No Pain No Gain is a low tube, which emerges to a mud-floored chamber. (Please try not to disturb the remaining flow patterns in the mud). A crawly mud floored passage leaves the chamber to the right. To the right near the end of the crawl is a bedding plane that continues uphill [C2000-204-01 B], whilst to the left is a small stone floored pit. There is a 2m climb up from the top of the pit. This has a stalactite formation at the top on the right, and threads on the left where a sling may be attached to assist. The crawl then continues to a junction with two connecting passages to the left [C2000-204-02 B] and two connecting passages to the right [C2000-204-03 C]. The passage then continues to a T junction where it enlarges slightly. To the right is [C2000-204-04 C]. To the left there is a chamber that is intersected by a tight rift with flowing water. Downstream is [C2000-204-05 C]. Upstream a key hole passage slopes upwards, to a T-junction with a chamber to the right, and an short, almost flat-out crawl to the left. The chamber, which has an aven [C2000-204-55 X], can be dropped into. A rift at the other end of the chamber leads to a waterfall which feeds the stream that runs through the chamber. Climbing up before the rift gives access to a crawl [C2000-204-06 C]. The flat out crawl emerges to a small angular chamber, at the top of which, to the right, is a hole [C2000-204-07 C]. To the left a low passage runs above a 4m drop [C2000-204-08 B]. This then turns right and continues to a fork in the passage. To the left is Insignificant Chamber, and to the right is a smaller chamber with a hole in the floor, windows to Insignificant Chamber, and a bedding plane continuing up at 10°, which again connects into Insignificant Chamber.

Insignificant Chamber can be entered at floor level from No Pain No Gain. It extends to a passage on the left as one enters, where there are a number a interconnecting holes on the right [C2000-204-58 C]. Upslope from the entrance is a bedding plane which splits left to Bonsai Crawl on the left and to [C2000-204-09 B] on the right. To the right upon entering Insignificant Chamber one can climb upto a point above the small chamber in No Pain No Gain. From here there is a phreatic tube[C2000-204-57 C] that can be probably be reached with the aid of a traverse line. The passage continues climbing ever upward [C2000-204-56 B]. The passage to the left from Insignificant Chamber gets smaller and meets a crossroads. To the left is a walking size passage with a small pit in the floor that continues to a large pitch [C2000-204-10 A], thought to drop into Pleasuredome. Straight on the passage turns to a steeply sloping pitch [C2000-204-11 B]. To the right is some small passage that connects to the Bonsai Crawl. Half way along this passage there is a hole [C2000-204-59 C].

Bonsai Crawl is a wide bedding plane. A tall and thin passage to the right goes to a chamber with a pitch [C2000-204-52 C] and a couple of small passages to the right [C2000-204-50 C] and [C2000-204-51 C]. A passage leads off to the left and gets lower, passing some pretties on the floor. It then continues [C2000-204-53 A]. Bonsai Crawl continues to a fork that has a stooping-size passage to the left [C2000-204-12 B]. To the right is a walking-size passage with a boulder floor. There is a hole in the right wall that has a couple of small passages leading off [C2000-204-13 C], [C2000-204-14 C]. The passage then debauches into The Colonnade.
