The resolution-station is either '-' to indicate that the QM hasn't ; been checked; or the name of the survey and station which push that QM. If a ; QM doesn't go anywhere, set the resolution-station to be the same as the ; nearest-station. Include any relevant details of how to find or push the QM in ; the textual description. ;Serial number grade(A/B/C/X) nearest-station resolution-station description ;QM1 A inferno.5 - Phreatic passage with floor trench at foot of Magic Glue. Little draught. ;QM2 C inferno.6 - Climb up to window - may simply connect to pitch below ;QM3 A inferno.14 kraken.14 Arch visible in the far SE corner of Kraken chamber [Kraken lower level] ;QM4 X inferno.14 - Aven entering Kraken chamber ;------------ ;Cave description ; From the end of the airy traverse, Magic Glue descends 32m via a deviation. The ; pitch is drippy in dry weather. At the foot, there are two ways on. A phreatic ; passage with a floor trench (traverse line needed) heads west (QM A). To the ; east is a further drop with a very cold and draughty pitch head - the start ; of Inferno. A window to the north, accessible via a climb, may connect to this ; pitch (QM C). ; ; Inferno descends in three steps of 25, 15 and 25m to land at the bottom of a large ; chamber - Kraken. The chamber is approximately 75 x 30m and 15m high, and contains ; a ridge formed of large boulders covered in black mud across its centre. Ascending ; the boulder pile a continuation is visible in the SE corner, accessible via a pitch ; - this is the lower level of Kraken chamber. At the northeast end of the ridge, a ; traverse leads off to Anthemusa chamber. A second aven enters at the eastern end of ; the chamber (QM X). *end inferno
