<p>The Underworld is an area of horizontal development at 1580m, around 160m
|
|
deeper than the majority of the horizontal development in
|
|
Steinbrückenhöhle. Access is from <a
|
|
href="swings.html#gaffered">Gaffered</a>, although a connection from <a
|
|
href="swings.html#merrygoround">Merry-Go-Round</a> is also suspected to exist.</p>

|
<p><b>Eeyore</b> is a mud-floored stooping-height passage accessed by a
|
|
slightly exposed greasy sideways climb at the top of the upwards-sloping
|
|
traverse from the bottom of Trihang pitch, before the final pitch into the main
|
|
Underworld level is reached. This levels off and continues for around 15m. At
|
|
the end is a window into a large chamber, <b><a id="kanga">Kanga</a></b>, with
|
|
the floor sloping down steeply to the left.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A Y-hang and deviation gain access to a ledge perched at the top of the
|
|
slope, where there is a Y-hang rebelay giving a clean hang down the slope to
|
|
the floor. At this point there is a narrow tube in the far wall, which turns to
|
|
the left and slopes upwards over loose powdery mud. After around 5m another
|
|
chamber is reached; climbing down around a large wedged boulder reveals a
|
|
narrow, unpromising-looking pitch-head, estimated at 10m [C2004-204-XX B].</p>

<p>Emerging from the short muddy crawl reveals a walking passage. Right leads quickly to a climb up and traverse back over the existing passage, <b><a id="generation">The Generation Game</a></b>, explored by Becka.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Left leads shortly to a bend in the passage and a steep downwards slope floored with crumbly mud; spits are in place for a traverse line, since slipping would mean a long fall. After a few metres is a pitch, <b><a id="gardenersworld">Gardener's World</a></b> (26m), which slopes awkwardly and has been subjected to a variety of rigs, none of them ideal!</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The landing is on a narrow rubble floor; a few metres ahead the floor drops away again, and another pitch, <b><a id="univchallenge">University Challenge</a></b> (12m), descends past an interesting hollow boulder to land in the <a href="#subsoil">Subsoil Series</a>.</p>
