    Well done, Ian. It is indeed Disappointment Pot - or Disappointment Cave as it was then known. Over to you.

    I think that Steve sold that part of the business. It's mail order.

    That's more or less how Chevalier and Petzl got up the 100 metre shaft from Trou du Glaz towards P40!

    I never realised that such a pokey pot was so popular! We originally started to dig it when we were looking for the exit from the passage at the top of the aven in Small Mammal House. We went back to it later 'cos the draught was preying on our minds.

    I actually used to be a cave diver, although not a very heroic one. .. The water levels in Mud Hensler's are pretty consistent, and OK, although New Hensler's may have been a little energetic .

    Having spent 48 trips helping to dig the wretched place out, it isn't my exit of choice!

    Small mammal to greasy slab

    I'm not really with you, but Stile Pot does allow one to exit from the bottom of Bar Pot entrance pitch without tackle (but with a lot of grunt).

    Well, if you can be specific, I'll take a look at the route description for that section.

    Small mammal to greasy slab

    The problem with saying the way is to the right, is that it depends on which way one is facing when one gets off the rope. Apart from that, yours is practically the same as the Braemoor description. However, if someone comes up with better phraseology then I would be happy to change it.

    The Braemoor description says "The way on is through an obvious muddy crawl a couple of metres from the rope, into a boulder-strewn descending passage." How would you phrase it?

    @huwg - If you look at the survey, the small plan section in the top right labelled 'The Minor Series' may make it clearer.

    Small mammal to greasy slab

    When you get into the bedding above Flowstone Chamber, veer to the left, round a hole in the floor, though a short bedding window, and you will find yourself below the first pitch in Bar Pot. There is also a route to the top of the Greasy Slab at the bottom of the aforesaid hole.
