Description

Martin Ellis - 26/06/2019

This is a spectacular open shaft over 20 m deep opening in the floor of a steep doline. Following the stream to the lip of the shaft leads to an 8 m pitch down to a ledge. This pitch can be avoided by a climb down through boulders. An 8 m pitch to a mud floor and a final pitch of 6 m follow this. Shortly beyond this the cave becomes choked with flood debris. Almost the entire cave is open to daylight and has no problems with bad air. It appears to take a considerable amount of water during the wet season.
