Notes

Explored the right-hand side climbing up various avens, mainly blind but was an interesting one with a decent draft, last right and then second climb up. Up here is a 6ft verticle, then steep slope and 5 ft then a difficult steep slope led to a squeeze with lots of passages going off (some natural), I was on my own here as Ron had helped me climb up, I pushed along a low crawl until I reached another shaft, the passage looking almost natural carried on from here, the traverse looked easy enough but a return is needed with a handline for the climb up some people can join me and one for the traverse possibly.
