No, Frakes Passage is part of
Rowten Pot. (Folk often think of it as being in the KMC because they find that the easiest way to access it, or to exit from it when doing a through trip from Aquamole Pot). Rowten Pot (downstream) and the KMC were connected on 2nd July 1966. But the
upstream route from Rowten Pot (later leading to Frakes Passage) had been known for decades. Hence Frakes Passage is part of Rowten Pot.
A glance at Northern Caves Volume 3 (latest 1994 edition) page 62 confirms this. (Note however that Frakes Passage is wrongly punctuated in this reference.)
Further confirmation is found in the Cave Diving Group Review 1966-67 which describes the discovery of Frakes Passage (pages 72-73) under the heading: "
Rowten Pot - Upstream Sump".
The above may seem pedantic to some but I'm pretty sure the owners of this forum wouldn't want it to perpetuate wrong information.
