Do you mean a short mouldy length hanging way up in the roof when you first enter the Gorge?

Yes, Does lead to anything
Cap'n Chris is having you on,cap 'n chris said:Les is lying. As he well knows it does lead to something but it's way off-limits and secret (for good reasons). The people who exlpored that section of the cave published their findings/photos and retreated but had to leave that section of ladder behind since this was before SRT and they couldn't unhitch the belay on that bit of ladder. Nevertheless, it's safe to say that it's probably too corroded to be of any use to anyone and that further return trips to that forbidden part of GB would need to be done with climbing aids/bolts/SRT.
