Location
Grid Reference: SD 686 769

Altitude: 404 m

Small shakehole close to the wall.

Description
Shakehole by Blea Dubs Wall. Scramble down rift to boulder floor with holes off in both directions. One opening is a blind chamber but the other opens above the first pitch (17m). Best rigged down a narrow rift but another route is available via a traverse across then climb down until shaft widens. Next pitch (8m) follows at once as a slot under the wall which pops out into a small chamber. Short passage to the third pitch (29m) opening out into a fine climb. Steep boulder slope offers no shelter so descend final pitch into chamber and bolder choke. Possible to get another 6m down between boulders and wall. Small Extension has been made past this description.
