;Serial number   grade(A/B/C/X)  nearest-station  resolution-station  description
;QM5 B	kraken.9	-  ~10m pitch [downgraded from A after coming back with a better light]
;QM6 A	kraken.3	tentacle.8  Rift passage to mud slope (needs rope) with continuing rift [Tentacle traverse]

;QM8 B kraken.1        kraken.1  Removed after coming back with better light - presumed passage appears not to exist

;------------
; Cave description
;
; From the choss bridge in Kraken chamber, a descent is rigged from the southern wall.
; The first part is a scrappy descent down the mud slope via a traverse to a y-hang, a
; large swing to a y-hang rebelay and two further rebelays to clear the mud slope.
; After descending a total of 25m in this manner, a duck under an overhang reaches a
; y hang from where there is a fine 40m free hanging descent to the floor. THE UPPER
; PART OF THIS PITCH IS VERY LOOSE - ASCEND ONE AT A TIME.
;
; The landing is in a further breakdown chamber at the top of a boulder slope heading 
; west. East of the landing point there is a further short (~10m) pitch to a clean
; rock floor with a drip (QM B). The boulder slope descends at about 40deg for ~50m.
; In the north wall of the chamber a rift passage heads west to a mud slope where a
; traverse has been rigged - Tentacle Traverse. An aven enters at the start
; of this rift (QM X). In the southern wall of the chamber is an area of black mud
; containing hexagonal cracks - no way on here but a viable site for a campsite.
