In November and December 2010 the Creature's End aven in the further reaches of Cascades Rising Cave in Co. Fermanagh was climbed.  Although no high-level passages were discovered the climb was very pretty and we terminated it in the beautiful Sistine Chapel...

(Note: there are no further leads from the Sistine Chapel; cavers are requested to be clean and careful while climbing as the entire extension is lined with abundant flowstone and formations.)

More like the pristine chapel, nice one

Long may it stay that way!

Nice pics - well done

Not even where you have a "?" top left on the section?  :-\

Technically that's not the Sistine Chapel... 

We had thought of the first ledge as Creature's Beginning (before we got to the Chapel), the name didn't make it on to the survey.
