<p><b>Description:</b> A steeply descending tube over scree (sometimes snow),
initially 3m in diameter, leads down to a choke. To the right in a
cross-rift 24m long (beware of loose rock here) is an audible connection
to the surface (199c). The final section of the main tube has roof
pendants, and ends with a rising sand floor over which the crawl becomes
too tight. The second entrance (199b) is just up and to the left of the
main one.
