Bräuning Nase 190½° (in 1995, recorded as 186° in 1990), Bräuning Zinken 236½° (1995), Hinterer Schwarzmooskogel appears as a single peak on 056° (both 1990 and 1995), East end of Top Camp 177° (1995), Vorderer Schwarzmooskogel appears as 126° (1990 and 1995) but this point is not the true summit, and therefore cannot be used to plot the cave on the map. It is useful if you just want to find the cave.
