Entrance reached in two minutes from upper top camp by heading west and
dropping down one terrace.
<p>Two bolts in entrance for Y-hang to give c40m vertical to a boulder
floor, then a further 20m in a big boulder chamber. A "nice skeleton"
and an old colander (!) were found on the terminal choke in 1988.
