| | Gaping Gill: Article on Mousehole Shaft |
 | | When Mike Wooding and John Gardner came across the unexpected, but very fine descent of the Mousehole Shaft during their descents of Rat Hole, Gaping Gill, in December 1985 (Gardner, 1986), they made a mental note to establish the origin of the shaft, and of the small stream that came down it. |
 | | Mousehole Shaft was originally reached by traversing across the top of the Rat Hole shaft to reach the main Gaping Gill rift towards the east. |
 | | Mike attached the rope to his chest croll, and with a controlled pendulum, gained a stance that was found once again to overlook the Mousehole shaft. |
