Following the stream down, pitches of 5m, 15.4m, 15.4m, 10.5m and 17.4m were rigged. The latter two pitches formed the top part of another large shaft and landed on a very wet ledge. Muddy boy valiantly put another bolt in well round a corner to try to keep out of the water. This was descended for about 10m in a spacious shaft*. With the amount of spray around and complete dearth of lobbable boulders it wasn't possible to tell whether the rope reached so M.B. wisely decided to ascend. Estimated depth of cave to head of last pitch 160m. Length of pitches (from entrance) - all measured.
