<underground_description>This is the main entrance through which the majority of the <a href="41.htm">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle</a> system was explored. See the separate <a href="41/115.htm#ent115">full guidebook description</a> for details, just an overview is given here.</p><p>The entrance leads to a non-obvious way on to the head of the short <b>Bell Pitch</b>, from where very awkward going leads out to a bigger passage to reach <b>The Ramp</b> a series of off-vertical pitches. The damper but technically easier <b>Inlet Pitches</b> drop to a Big Chamber, from where <b>Pete's Purgatory</b> starts, and leads in 800m of tortuous going to <b>The Confluence</b> and the larger streamway leading to the deepest point.</p><p>Better is the <b>Purgatory Bypass</b> which starts as dry fossil tubes, with a choice of routes to reach <b>Junction Chamber</b> where the <b>Big Rift</b> of <a href="41.htm">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle</a> enters. Opposite, the huge fossil tube of <b>Dartford Tunnel</b> makes for easy progress to the Confluence, about halfway down the system. The continuing main streamway is interrupted by a bypassable sump and numerous pitches before a low airspace duck at the end of an unpromising canal leads to the spectacular <b>Orgasm Chasm</b>. Careful rigging avoids the water in this 140m shaft, ending in muddy passage and another short drop to a deep and terminal sump. </underground_description>
