Poetic Justice to Pierce's Passage[edit | edit source]
The climb up Poetic Justice is awkward, the site of many a struggle. It can be climbed by jamming a foot into the left-hand crack, and pushing up from the obvious nobble. A sling or handline rigged from the top can help.
At the top is a bedding plane with stal bosses. Crawling forward leads to a short drop into a stream rift passage. [Upstream is a route to Battle of Britain Chamber.] Downstream leads immediately to a 6m pitch.
- 15m rope; backup to drilled thread; Y-hang off two P-bolts.
The pitch drops into Pierce's Passage. Two minutes of easy walking leads to the junction with Trident Passage, where a sizeable streamway enters.
- Following the water downstream leads towards Eureka Junction.
- Following the water upstream leads into Trident Series.
