;Serial number   grade(A/B/C/X)  nearest-station  resolution-station  description
;QM1    A       Ulysses_to_Toto.1       ulysses_to_colericchamber.2  Opposite side of survey stationone on the other side of Ulysses sits a very obvious railway sized phreatic passage. To get through to this passage will require a traverse and bolt climb up into it. Very large draft and very promising as slapys to the end of Ulysses chamber sits at23.163, whilst splay into the railway passage is 48.85 (slay name:1->1u), so passage estmated to be 26 metres in width.
;QM2 	A	Ulysses_to_Toto.5	-  Passage sits behind the pitch bellow survey station 4. Would need to be bolted and dropped as falls in roughly 10-15 metres in depth. Promising meandering passage with minimal draft
;QM3	B	Ulysses_to_Toto.5	-  When facing the pitch bellow survey station 4, to your left with be a walking meandering passage, roughly a meter in width, with stable floor. minimal draft.
;QM4	C	Ulysses_to_Toto.8	-  Decending rift with wall on one side that is boulder choky (South), decending wall (North). Could go but would need to be done by someone who dosnt value there life.
;QM5	A	Ulysses_to_Toto.9	-  Small passage underneath a massive boulder choke but an extreamly large draft can be felt coming from said boulder choke. Whilst surveyed, it would need it be carefully crawld through in order to get into passage that sits behind, but again, needs someone who dosnt value there life to try it.
;QM6	A	Ulysses_to_Toto.15	-  Follows a meandering rift, roughly a metre in diametre and 2 metre in hieght, with anoth strong drafte flowing from station 15 to 14. Definatly worth exploring.

;Cave description
;Station 20 of Ulysses_to_Toto connects from the rebelay bolt of the higher level of Toto chamber. Instead of following the rigging down to Toto chamber, traverse along the higher level passage, following with the phreatic developement from freeattic_flys. This leads into a contiuation of the meandering/rifting/phreatic passage. Follow the passage with 2 small pitches no deeper than 10 metres. After the second pitch you arrive in Odius odium which continues both left and right. Following left will lead to a pitch (roughly 15m) which drops into the Shit Show. The chamber is made up of of false floor and massive boulder chokes, and is not an area to tread heavily. Seriously its shit. However as shit as it is, its drafting in multiple places. The chamber has not been excessively explored as of this surveys creation, but contiuse onworts NE and contiues to draft.

;Back in Odius Odium, turning right will lead you toward Ulysess. Ulysses is a very large chamber, roughly 20 metres in diameter, and a currently unknow depth but expected to be greater than 50 metre. The walls aroud the this chamber however is not great, infact its pretty crap. The day this survey was made, a traverse began to be rigged along the right side wall, with the intension of either A) traversing half way round the chamber and droping it to find the expected depth, or B) continuing to travese the chamber, in order to reach the strong lead on the oposite wall, which is a massive rail way sized, continuing phreatic tunnel. See QMR 1. This is still to be explored, however has strong draft facing SE. The chamber itself is excesivly crumbly, and likely no amount of gardening will make the chamber "safe", so if the pitch is dropped, decents should be very carefully made, one by one, with awareness on very possible falling rock.
