Location
An open rift in limestone pavement belayed from a nearby tree. An 11m free hang in the 2m wide rift lands on a brushwood covered floor which ascends gently to the NE to a boulder choke. A steeper descent opposite leads around a corner over boulders to a narrow rift with a flat floor covered in bat guano. The rift may be passable but 13.9% oxygen prevented further exploration.
