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. *end kraken
