Note: There appears to be some confusion between this cave and 2000-09. I belive the description below does in fact correspond to the right cave. -- DL

Extent: | Dunno!.
Location: | 36611.40E, (52)83616.17N, 1814.57m altitude.

Access route: The large entrance is adjacent to the route used in 2000 onwards from Top Camp to Steinbrückenhöhle, shortly before reaching the latter cave.

Marking: Tag.

## Description

Short pitch (~6m) from chossy naturals leads to large (~4m wide) unroofed passage. Uphill leads to rift, which is choked (corresponding to nearby choked surface rift). Downhill passes a wedged rock to a climb down onto a snowbank. Right is blind, left descends and leads to a blind pit with a too-tight continuation (looks diggable though), with a big echo.

Exploration history: CUCC 2000, 2002, 2003 (Mark Shinwell).
