Went down it on Sunday.  Firstly the current padlock is not very cooperative. Ten minutes fiddling to get the key to turn and ditto on getting out plus a struggle to lock it and free the key without sending it on its way to Cheddar.

Secondly, coming out via the Showerbath and at the climb after the short traverse beyond it there is a breeze block size and weight triangular slab half way up which is loose. If you grab it you will fall and it will land on you or you'll end up with a crushed foot. It is fairly obvious now. I didn't dislodge it down the drop as was on a pile of boulders and didn't want to find out what the vibration did. Please be warned.
