By this point Joe had rigged to China so decided to join them for a trip to survey a lead we had poked our head in last year.
A short pitch with 2 Y-hangs drops down the side wall through the boulders onto a sand and rubble slope.
There is a scary looking climb down to the left QMC and a small passage going off to the right QMC.
At the bottom of the slope we entered a narrow phreatic rift with a sandy floor "Smooth Sandy Bottom".
Surveying was slow and 4½ h later we hadn't really got very far. We left an aven lead QMB and the rift continues with a slight draft QMB
