Situated 35m above ground level in the face of the main climbing wall and reached by a steep path. A low slot bypasses the original main entrance, which is clearly visible from below but is difficult and dangerous to approach. A short climb down gains a high, unroofed, waterworn passage. All ways on, including a very narrow rift beyond a small pool, are now choked. The floor of the chamber has been dug several times in an attempt to enter a blocked passage claimed to lead down beneath the quarry floor.
