WARNING

Total flooding within minutes when EASE GILL flows

At the base of the dry waterfall in UPPER EASE GILL KIRK. Twin entrances behind large flakes on the south bank unite in a series of rifts and bedding planes. Fissure crawl into a descending bedding plane and a small passage lead to a 3m chockstone climb and a 14m spiraling pitch. From the foot of this leads to a climb down into a large passage. Upwards over boulders soon chokes, but the other branch descends through pools to a crawl over boulders into a wider section. The continuing wide passage lowers to a choked sump.This has been dug underwater for about 4m.
