Heron Pot boulder choke?

[porgzilla]

Hi,

Just wanted to check that this was normal as I haven't seen this mentioned anywhere and it was only after revisiting the guide at home did I notice this wasn't described.

After the pitches but before the long crawl, there is a huge slab of rock in the passage. This can be bypassed through a nifty sideways squeeze underneath, feet first in my case, but can also be mantled and sidled over.

Normal, or new?

Either way, fun pull through, would lead again for others!

Normal. It can be bypassed. See here for the description written by LUSS in 1973 (last paragraph, column one).

Sweet, cheers for that. It looks like we missed a bunch of stuff too so that will add interest to the return trip.
It's all part of the fun to discover unexpected things though.
