;Cave description  ;(leave commented-out)
; rig the traverse line along the big rift to a pitchead where the roof lowers and the rift becomes a shaft. The pitch lands on a big ledge above a meandering rift perpendicular. Walk to the far wall and drop down a little pitch which drops into a traverse line right over loose boulders. This traverse line ends in a pitch which drops into a medium sized chamber with the rift continuing down and ahead and behind pitch head. Continue ahead down some short free climbs in a dry canyon. A final pitch with a ledge halfway down leads into a chamber. Turn left and continue down the rift, following the water of the streamway that appears. This stream way passes several side passages and slanted rifts and ends in a duck.
