<p><b>Altitude:</b> 1796m<br>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Location:</b> South of Vorderer Schwarzmooskogel - 126m on 194°
|
|
|
|
|
from summit.<br>
|
|
|
|
|
47° 40' 41" N 13° 48' 58" E
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>From Top Camp, climb the "high" route towards 161. Just past the
|
|
|
|
|
highest point, join a traverse round the Schwarzmooskogel heading
|
|
|
|
|
south and eventually more west. If you pick the right level, this
|
|
|
|
|
passes the large open shaft of 140. Alternatively, the cave may be
|
|
|
|
|
approached from the summit (point 1843) though various cliffs make
|
|
|
|
|
this approach difficult.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Shaft entrance is 9m by 6m, with first pitch 15m to boulders.
|
|
|
|
|
A 6m pitch is immediately followed by a 10m drop to a sloping boulder
|
|
|
|
|
floor. From the end of this, a 5.5m drop reaches a longer boulder
|
|
|
|
|
slope, which leads into a canyon at 90°. Down this is a longer
|
|
|
|
|
pitch split into 10 and 10.5m sections by a small ledge, landing on
|
|
|
|
|
a very large boulder. Over the boulder are two ways on.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Through a squeeze is a shaft 10m deep to floor with <b>continuing
|
|
|
|
|
hole and a further shaft to one side, neither of which were descended,
|
|
|
|
|
despite a draught coming out through the squeeze</b>.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The way followed is a 5m pitch from the big boulder, to a boulder false
|
|
|
|
|
floor. At the end of this, the roof rises into a high aven and an 11m
|
|
|
|
|
pitch drops to a flat boulder floor next to another huge block. A hole
|
|
|
|
|
down gives a 7m drop next to stacked rocks and a way on across boulders
|
|
|
|
|
leads to a final 8m pitch.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Forward over boulders passes under another high aven from which water
|
|
|
|
|
falls. A short climb down leads to where this water disappears into a
|
|
|
|
|
scrofulous slot, at a depth of 95m.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The cave is in a key position, almost directly above the Breeze
|
|
|
|
|
Block area of <a href="161/chile.htm">Chile,</a> in Kaninchenhöhle.
|
|
|
|
|
However, these passages lie between 250 and 300m below the 140 entrance,
|
|
|
|
|
so this is probably not a potential easy way in.
