description of the route: -Big chamber near the entrance -Brickyard -wedding cake (Lucas and Elliot got married) -corkscrew (skinny legend) -Arète chamber. Had a waterfall which we later found the top of it. -calcite slope and cool passage that looped back to the same place (had some nice curtains and caramel straws). This was all under the bagpipes. -explored passages from Arète (one way too narrow and the other was a pitch I think so had to go back)? -mission to get to bagpipes failed… -backtracked to corkscrew -wedding cake... read more

Rowter hole has been on my to-do list since Rachel first mentioned it to me sometime back in 2017.
