<b>Location: (Tag) E 35561, N 82547</b>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Access:</b>From <a href="164.htm">164</a>, north to an east-west
|
|
|
|
|
fault line (climbing past the large open and heavily snow-plugged shaft,
|
|
|
|
|
which is <a href="189.htm">189</a>). To the east, this fault line is a
|
|
|
|
|
north-facing scarp, below which is 190 (number in red, and Austrian metal
|
|
|
|
|
tag on this wall above the SW corner of the shaft), somewhat before (ie.
|
|
|
|
|
west of) <a href="197.htm">B8</a> (1623/197).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><b>Marking:</b> On wall above entrance, facing N, number in red, 1993.
|
|
|
|
|
Austrian metal tag, 1995. The 1976 number "B9" was in dull green
|
|
|
|
|
and was already hard to spot in 1977, since when it has not been seen.

<p>Rectangular shaft 6.7m long (aligned on a joint on 275°) and 4.0m
|
|
|
|
|
wide. Wall on south side is 1.5m higher than rest of surface. Freeclimb
|
|
|
|
|
descent of 6m to scree/boulder floor usually with snow plug. At eastern end
|
|
|
|
|
of the south wall, a horizontal passage leads 7.5m on 185° to the lip of
|
|
|
|
|
a second pitch. This is 10m leading to a big rift. Ahead over boulders and
|
|
|
|
|
ice an 8m pitch descends through (sic) spectacular ice stalactites. Way on is
|
|
|
|
|
effectively blocked by ice but could well connect with a major shaft nearby
|
|
|
|
|
(<a href="189.htm">1623/189</a>), not descended in 1976 on account of the
|
|
|
|
|
condition of the ice. The small alternative hole back in the rift is blocked
|
|
|
|
|
by ice at -6m.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>In 1993 the cave was "extremely cold and some ice formations".
