On the other side climb up, climb up and forward. There's a rising sump on the left and a small higher level phreatic passage just past it. The main chamber is an aven with pieces of dark bunda on the floor. It drips quite a lot. The other side of the aven has a boulder climb which goes up to more complicated passage above. The aven rises to the right and goes up diagonally. Probably could be bolt climbed. *end cowlick
