[INCLUDES BITS FROM delicious2.svx AND gravityalwayswins.svx]
Blind and Broken
A 10m pitch lands on a rubble floor with numerous holes. A hole in the middle of the floor has not been descended [QM 08-32 C]. At the western end, a 2m climb down leads to a wet and windy canyon with a further undescended pitch [QM 08-31 B] and an aven at the westernmost extremity [QM 08-30 X].
The way on is a rift pitch directly below the 10m pitch. A y-hang provides a 36m descent in a beautiful shaft to a boulder ledge, where a rebelay is required for a further descent of 8m to the floor.
From the base of the pitch, a narrow rift heads off initially to the northeast, leading to a pitch with a very tight take-off but an encouraging boom [QM 08-33 C]. The main continuation is to the southwest. A dribbly 10m pitch lands on rubble with a further 25m pitch beyond. This is rigged from two spits in a large boulder at the pitch head providing a fine descent, with one deviation, to a rubble choke. From the bottom of the pitch, a narrow rift carrying a stream leads off initially to the southwest [QM 08-29 C]. There is also and aven in the southeast corner of the terminal chamber [QM 08-28 X]. A rift near this aven is too tight.
