Notes

Quite a hard cave and Jonathan, was pretty happy with it despite being a novice. A small entrance crack which is difficult to reverse and completely overgrown led to the main stream-way A short pitch off of naturals (stals and a flake) led to the main event which was 300m~ of wet crawling. The second pitch lacked belays over the pitch-head, unless you go really far out, which is what we did. Very awkward rig. We then explored all the other passages included the nicely decorated in places West inlet. Getting off the 2nd pitch was also difficult (Jonathans first rig) we agreed next time rig with more slack and make it a re-belay instead?
