Keg Series

The top 32m pitch of Keg Series was rigged in 2004 by swinging across into the obvious horizontal passage about 17m down. At the end of this short passage, a further pitch is reached (C2004-76-46B), before this and on the left a pitch descends to re-join the original route at the bottom (this route is much better protected from loose rocks). The second pitch continues below with at least on natural deviation necessary to keep the rope away from the wall. 24m later a ledge is reached; from here the third (26m) pitch can be rigged, with a deviation (bolt) shortly below. At the base of this pitch is a large ledge, to the SE is a short drop leading to some water (C2004-76-51C). To the NW a 5m pitch leads to a junction, below and on the left is a small sump, to the right is a short crawl leading to a junction with a small stream, upstream looks small (C2004-76-50C) and downstream continues for at least 5m but becomes quite tight (C2004-76-49C). The main way on is along a rift above the sump, Razor Prance. After 18m of tortuous rift, Razor Prance ends at an un-descended pitch (C2004-76-52A), razor prance may continue beyond this (C2004-76-48C). There is a window in the west wall of the final Keg Series Pitch, which may provide an alternative route into Razor Prance, C2004-76-47A.
