Straight foraward is an upwards passage that choked out after 11 metres, however to the right an exciting tube with a beautiful draft. It is a grippy sharp tube hat veers left with a good echo that leads into a loose descending, freeclimbable passage called It's not loose if you're not looking and it drops down in steps getting larger untill a thrutchy 4 metre climb into a disapointing chamber called Knuckle duster chamber with a small 2 inch high bedding plane at one end and at the other a human width 45 degree angle descending passage. The passage is choked and has been dug to no avail. Overall the cave seemed promising with a wonderful draft but sadly chokes. May go if dug. *end 314
