Narrow rift straight ahead with boulder choke climb at end, approx p20 at top of climb, QMB lead. Up pitch, approx p8, at left of junction leading to horizontal passage with pools on floor and rock pillars. Leading to rift crossing passage from the right with large upwards passage above rift with draft up the rift. Continuing along horizontal passage junction reached with bat bones on floor. Both routes join same rift, left passage at lower level, right passage at higher level. Strong draft down rift, QMA. *end cerberus
