Claire Dunphy, Aileen Connor, Stephen Macnamara. 2 hours.

This was a scouting trip to visit a cave none of us had been into before. Spent a while looking before we eventually found the fairly obvious entrance. It's a nice entrance rift with sporting freeclimbs down and a small stream - a bit like Prod's entrance. The final 7m freeclimb was so sporting we decided to use an SRT kit. Plenty of naturals to rig from.

The bottom is a vertical pot of 1x2m cross-section, terminating in a sandstone boulder floor. It's also drippy. A digging project here would require engineering - probably a retaining wall in the pot to hold excavated rocks, as there is no other spoil storage space in the pot.

Steve.
