Hedonism Highway
Very high rocky passage uphill with monster draft (considering passage size) blowing out. This whole passage is formed on a bedding plane sloping at about 25 degrees from horizontal, so everywhere is walkable but quite steeply sloping. A tricky 2m climb over a block reaches a sandy hading chamber. Going across to the left reaches a very wide, bedding-aligned area with a choice of routes upwards either side of a pillar. A passage off to the left (north) here is Rocky Road North. At the top of the wide bit the passage reverts to a phreas with a deep canyon which is largely inaccessibly-narrow. It is at least 8m deep and there are a couple of points one could get in [2007-258-95-C].
Climbing over a large boulder the passage widens due to a junction. A passage goes off left upwards, as does the canyon, and another goes off left downwards, both connecting to Rocky Road North. Straight ahead the passage continues steeply up-dip and gets bouldery. There are a couple of huge dropped sections of rock that have been undercut and split from the roof. On the left is a small alcove passage. Next a small cross-passage roof tube. Neither of these go. The draught remains strong, blowing out. The passage turns 90 left to go along the dip. A strongly draughting small passage on the right at the corner is Rocky Road East. Hedonism highway gets boulderier and closes down over the next 60m, ending in a choke and a solution tube filled with rocks [2007-258-81C]. This point may be quite close to the surface.
