Saw some of Thorpy's pics on here and on ME. Obviously has near vertical dip of slate like many in Corris area, does anyone know anything more about it?

the only thing i can say is it is only a couple of degrees of vertical and there are several open chambers.
the one we entered was deeper than the amount of rope we had available that day, so only got half way into that chamber but it was huge and as yet have not found an open adit only 2 colapsed adits.

Nut deep in water!

hi;
thanks for info; about how deep a point did you descend to in the chamber?

Cheers

Hi;
That's usefull cheers, some good pics. Presumably the water must still successfully drain through the blocked adits.
