<a href="76.htm">(1623/76)</a>, ignored at first, since it was assumed it

|
<p>Entrance gully of 5m leads to 20m pitch at 70° over snow, heading
|
|
|
|
|
roughly back towards Eislufthöhle. At the base is a 'snow-duck' under a
|
|
|
|
|
rock wall beyond which a small rift-like chamber descends about 3m. Straight
|
|
|
|
|
ahead at the same level, the rift quickly becomes an impenetrable slot
|
|
|
|
|
through which can be seen a 2m wide passage with an ice floor running down
|
|
|
|
|
from right to left at 5-10°. This is the source of the strong draught.
|
|
|
|
|
Below the slot is another low hole, this leaks a vague draught and leads to
|
|
|
|
|
a small boulder-strewn ledge with a definite blackness continuing to the
|
|
|
|
|
left behind more boulders. Energetic but nervous removal of these gave
|
|
|
|
|
obvious signs of a continuation, but other commitments and rain prevented a
|
|
|
|
|
return.
