; The nearest-station is the name of the survey and station which are nearest to
; the QM. 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

;Cave description  ;(leave commented-out)
;freeform text describing this section of the cave

;Approached from the North side of Far side, you reach a small ledge, descending 8m. At the foot of this, approach the ~40m pitch series 
;to an obvious ledge from the left hand wall. From the ledge, follow the left hand wall again down another ~30m pitch series to a small window 
;on the right.The shaft is fairly  rounded and drippy, but the rebelays keep you out of this The shaft below you has a 6.5 second drop 
;from this window, so be careful! From the window, you enter a small chamber, with a chossy floor - ICU with a view. There's a bolt on the right hand wall
;to approach the next pitch. Follow the rift directly ahead, to the Y-hang on the left hand wall. Looking down the rift, rebelays along the right hand 
;wall keep you out of the way of any fallout from the rift. Be VERY CAREFUL here, as the pitch head is loose and has a long way to go! The pitch 
;series descends another 70-80m? to another ledge. To the right (heading North) in a small water inlet, which craps out. To the South, yet more 
;pitches follow. Use the bolts at the the ledge for a Y-hang to descend down the small 'valley'. Bolts on the right hand wall follow a high traverse to a 
;Y-hang. The 10m pitch puts you at the end of the 'valley', at the head of yet more pitches.
