# Steinschlagschacht: Entrance slope

The boulder slope inside the large horizontal entrance of Steinschlagschacht was the source of the stonefall which caused concern in 1983/4 during the initial explorations. More modern rigging reduced this hazard considerably in 1997, but care is still necessary on this section of the cave. Here Andy Atkinson and Mike Baslington are scramling down towards the first pitch itself.
