Wezzit?

When you drop into the streamway below the first pitch in Pool Sink, go upstream and turn left at the junction. The passage ends (more or less) after five minutes in Magpie Grotto. There are a myriad of roof passages and inter-connectef inlets to explore in this area.
 
Okay then maybe the top "pitch", which is climbable on the pitch route in BPOTW, I don't know the name...

See illustration.

That's the one, Alex. The climb starts as a bridging manoeuvre, at the top of which one reaches over to land on a large ledge on the true right. In the photograph, I'm negotiating the top half of the pitch from that ledge, and the pink rope has been put through a bolt to serve as a handline to help people on the lower section.

Bull Pot of the Witches is one the deeper caves in the Dales that one can get to the bottom of without equipment.

Over to you.
 
Hope I have not posted this before if no one gets it in a few days, I will post another photo of this cave later on, provided I remember.
 
Has something gone wrong with this thread? I cannot see Alex's reply that's answered by 'That's the one, Alex. The climb starts as a bridging manoeuvre . . . . ', and I can't see a 'formation that seems really familiar'.

It's OK for me. Alex's answer was the first underground pitch in Bull Pot of the Witches.
 
I guess Fulk has me on ignore for some reason lol, not sure what I did to offend him, he obviously forgotten why by now. Anyway not sunset, go East.
 
Not Scoska - too far east.
Not sure where Sod hole cave 5 is, sorry.
No probs Fulk, I assumed it was accidental.

Same cave, not sure if it helps... This is the terminal point unless you have a scaling pole.

Yes my mate's being a bit naughty there, though it's not a calcite formation.
 
Well it might be, please don't hang me, I regret posting the above image now. All I will say is his boots will be clean, but I did tell him he should not really be standing there.
