Excited by the upward trajectory of Flying High, we set out to extend it in hope of a new entrance. Walking out we ran into Olly M who was feeling ill and gave us his instruments which we took to his team in Stone Monkey - a longer detour than we expected. We brought rope and a drill but in fact discovered everything was free-climbable.

Pushed it a ways on - appeared to die but after squeeze through choke regained initial riftiness. Some promising QMs if climb down. One appears to intersect phreatic ways on left of passage if heading into rift. Left it with QMA climb up and QMA off to right at end which looks to be pitch.
