<p><b>Altitude:</b> 1697m
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Location:</b> "about 6m above
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="../handbook/survey/lasers.htm">Laser rangefound point 0/5</a>"
|
|
|
|
|
(which is above gully containing <a href="../plateau/107.htm">Kat. 107</a>
|
|
|
|
|
and marked with an alloy tag stamped "LASER 0-5"). The cave was looked for
|
|
|
|
|
but not seen in a visit to this laser point in 1998. A second cave 100m from
|
|
|
|
|
0/5, uphill to the left, was not given a number because of evidence of
|
|
|
|
|
previous exploration, but should be investigated further.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Entrance shaft of 50m until gap between snow and rock became too perilous
|
|
|
|
|
in 1987 - bottom still out of sight. About 25m below the karren, a rift
|
|
|
|
|
passage leads off from side of shaft into parallel shaft with aven. This
|
|
|
|
|
shaft is of unknown depth but has recent looking bolts of unknown origin. It
|
|
|
|
|
is just conceivable that these bolts are in 107, but far more likely that
|
|
|
|
|
the cave had been looked at by GSCB who were in the area on a reconnaissance
|
|
|
|
|
in 1986 (?) and more seriously in 1987..
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The second cave has a walk-in entrance, splitting just inside. The left
|
|
|
|
|
passage comes out below a shaft from the surface, and apparently continues
|
|
|
|
|
unexplored. The main passage reaches a 10m pitch, also below a surface
|
|
|
|
|
shaft, which drops into a chamber. To the left is a short passage to an
|
|
|
|
|
undescended pitch of about 10m, while to the right are three ways on. First
|
|
|
|
|
is a rift, then a passage with an ice floor, and finally, half back towards
|
|
|
|
|
the entrance, is a passage emerging below another surface shaft (passed on
|
|
|
|
|
the surface just before reaching the entrance). This final passage also
|
|
|
|
|
appeared to continue. Because a large carbide pig was found outside the
|
|
|
|
|
entrance, it was assumed that someone else was in the course of exploring
|
|
|
|
|
this cave.
