One way of accessing the lead. ;Question Mark List ;QM1 A ulysses_to_colericchamber.8 - The water coming down one of the waterfalls goes into the floor and looks to head in the direction of the large space at the other side of the too-tight rift. One could either follow the water directly, or drop down from a few metres higher up through a hole in the floor, where you first drop into the chamber. It looks quite roomy down there, and with normal drippy water levels, it looks easy enough to stay dry. ;QM2 C ulysses_to_colericchamber.6 - To one side of the chamber is a tight rift, that has been reffered to as 'too-tight'. This leads to a large, echo'y space within sight. This is probably accessed via following the water below, but if the water goes elsewhere this is very worth checking out. A determined, brave, and thin individual could likely find a way through: although even this person may want a backup of some sort. ;Cave Description ; Traversing (with difficulty at the time of writing) around Ulysses leads to a small (compared to Ulysses), but comfortably traversable, rift. This almost immediatly drops into a tall chamber, with a dry waterfall and an active waterfall at one side and a too-tight rift at the other. Shouting into the too-tight rift produces a good echo, and no far wall can be seen! The water from the waterfall flows under the inital landing spot, and a comfortably sized continuation can be seen. This needs bolting and dropping, preferably staying far from the water: as it may get a lot more splashy in high water conditions.
