<p><b>Altitude:</b> 1538.4m, Depth 111.5m.
<p><b>Location:</b> E 35998.8 N (52)81150.4<br>
In a dry valley leading up from the St&ouml;gerweg (path 201) shortly after
the turn off for <a href="115.htm">Schnellzugh&ouml;hle</a>.
<p>Horizontal entrance at base of small cliff at head of dry valley, leads
over peaty infill to a pitch head. Cross first hole and descend second, 30m
to large chamber. To left is unsurveyed inlet ending too small, while to
right is head of very steeply descending phreatic-tube-like pitch of 15m
vertically (20m+ of rope). This is a little thrutchy to start, but opens out,
and ends in a short climb.

<p>A further 15m pitch follows, hanging clear of a wall made up mainly of
boulders. A way on across the head of the final pitch appears too tight. Hole
in floor is last pitch, of 33m, which has a boulder 10m high in it, and you
can descend either side. Draught is lost into a small passage which you could
reach by bolting, but it seems a little pointless.
<p>There is a 1987 extension, but I can't make much sense of the logbook
description.

<h2><center>87b&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Schacht 87b bei

<b>Altitude:</b> circa 1505m, Depth minimal
<p><b>Location:</b> <i>In</i> Stogerweg - you literally step over it
while walking along the path.
<p>Numbered '88' in a fit of optimism while the explorer was getting changed
to investigate this impressively draughting hole, it proved in fact to be
only 1.2 metres deep and too tight. It appears to be above the inlet below
pitch 1 in cave 87, and has been renumbered 87b, since the Austrians have
allocated number 88 to L&auml;rchenh&ouml;hle.
<p><b>Note:</b> the 1987 logbook suggests we changed this to 87a and 87 to
87b, so we had better look into this.
