Illusion Pot

Does the rigged pitch at the end of Illusion Pot go far? We didn't have any kit so didn't go down but where wondering if it was worth a return trip.

At the other end of that passage there's a crawl under a boulder. We didn't go through, does it go far?

Climb down the ladders, follow the passage until it enters the large passage, after the duck/sump/wallow. If you turn right and follow the large passage to the end there's a short crawl down on the left that goes under the left wall. At the bottom of this is a rift with rope hanging down it.
At the other end of the same large passage is a boulder choke with a chamber underneath it.

It's been a while so excuse any memory issues! The rift, I'm guessing the one you mean is just after/at far side of Rushtons Chamber (straws in roof?) - if so it's Brunel Rift - last time I was in there we traversed over this and down a muddy slope to a sump, from where you double back before climbing up in to Boottrapper Passage (aptly named if I recall right!) This eventually leads to a sump. I would guess the pitch is the direct way of getting to the climb up and is probably easier than the traverse/mud slope route.

As for the other passage, left when you reach the big passage after the duck? That way leads to some formations and thus ends/chokes.
