<p>This shakehole contains the fourth entrance to Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle,
discovered from underground by Earl Merson and Becka Lawson in 2001 during the
exploration of <a href="../swings.html#entd">Swings and Roundabouts</a>.
Although it is sufficiently far from the the bivouac that it is not normally
used for exploration, it was rigged in 2002 and 2003 for use as a rescue
entrance, since it would be impossible to manhandle a stretcher through the
contortions of 204c or the loose boulders of 204e. It also makes for a fine
tourist through-trip from the 204a entrance.</p>
<p>This photograph was taken during a surface prospecting trip in 2003;
depicted are Earl (left) and David Loeffler (posing ridiculously on the snow
plug).</p>
