Calf Holes To Brow Gill Through Trip

After parking up and kitting up, we made the short walk to the streamway by the cave entrance

We rigged up and abb'd down the 11m pitch by the waterfall

Below the plungepool greeted us, it was bloody freezing

Next up we headed down Hainsworth's passageway

Eventually arriving at the contortion we all crawled through one by one, and boy is it a squeeze

Followed up a 7m rope pitch down another waterfall

We stopped briefly for a group shot

Onto the main chamber and back out into the daylight

nice pics fellas, just a question what is that set up on toppo ?, normally a 'Y-hang' would have done !, only asking :).....did you also go up stream once at the bottom to check out the other system ?
