<b>Altitude:</b> 1636m, Depth 25m

|
|
|
|
<b>Position:</b> E 35606, N (52)82526<br>
|
|
|
|
|
<b>Marking:</b> Number "B8" of 1976 vintage painted in dull green on the wall
|
|
|
|
|
facing south, opposite the fault scarp, which is very hard to spot, although
|
|
|
|
|
not fading appreciably year to year. There is an easier-to-find number
|
|
|
|
|
painted higher up on an east-facing rock, initially in orange, but
|
|
|
|
|
"refreshed" in red in 1995 as the orange paint was crap. Below this
|
|
|
|
|
number is the drilled spit with tag "CUCC 1976 B8", which is also the point
|
|
|
|
|
surveyed to. This will, in due course, be replaced by a new tag with the
|
|
|
|
|
Austrian kataster number, on the same bolt.

|
<p><b>Location:</b> 1976 bearings: Bräuning Nase 208°,
|
|
|
|
|
Schönberg 350°, Spot point 1828, 240°<br>
|
|
|
|
|
In fact it is impossible to see <b>any</b> landmarks from the actual
|
|
|
|
|
entrance.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>This is situated on the plateau just on a major fault where one climbs
|
|
|
|
|
down over bare rock for 4m. From <a href="../tcamps.htm#topcamp">Top
|
|
|
|
|
Camp</a>, head somewhat east of north onto a large area of bare karren
|
|
|
|
|
containing B11 (<a href="198.htm">1623/198</a>). Continue parallel with the
|
|
|
|
|
line of a small scarp running north, and pass <a href="164.htm">1623/164</a>
|
|
|
|
|
on the left. Scrambling past a wide snow choked shaft
|
|
|
|
|
(<a href="189.htm">1623/189</a>) on the right, descend and turn right, along
|
|
|
|
|
the line of a north-facing scarp containing B9
|
|
|
|
|
(<a href="190.htm">1623/190</a>), heading roughly east, and clamber down a
|
|
|
|
|
few small scars to the large open doline.

<p>A large open hole with snow in the bottom. In wet weather, the old number
|
|
|
|
|
is even harder to spot, but the hole is very noisy with sinking water. 20m
|
|
|
|
|
of ladder were fed down between snow and rock before snow plug totally
|
|
|
|
|
blocked the way on. However, this was in 1976, a year with quite a large
|
|
|
|
|
amount of snow.
