<underground_description>A tricky 4m climb down to a ledge and further 2m drop gain the floor of a chamber. Down boulder slope in chamber leads to a further short climb on overhanging loose rubble to a small chamber with draughting rift. A squeeze through the rift opens directly onto the head of an awkward 8m pitch. Beyond, the floor soon disappears and way on is 5m of traverse in a widening rift to where stones fall free for 5 seconds, this was the 1987 terminus.</p><p>A 6m drop reaches a point overlooking a 5m wide circular shaft. Bolts for a Y-hang lead onto the 56m free-hanging <b>Heart of Gold</b> pitch, named for its cross section. Another 10m drop on the other side of a boulder lands on a large ledge covered in loose boulders, <b>The Italian Bistro</b>. Awkward rigging on the right wall and two lower bolts allow <b>Deep Thought</b> to be rigged just clear of the tottering boulders that give the 18m pitch its name.</p><p>At the base is <b>The Restaurant at the End of the Cave</b>, a large chamber sporting five waterfalls. From the foot of the pitch, the floor is steeply inclined up to an arch, beyond which the chamber continues to rise to a total length of about 50m. A debris slope up to a tube at the highest points leads only to a choke. There is no other way on from the Restaurant since the floor is choke by major collapse at a depth of 117m.</underground_description>
