<p>Starting from the Nipple (see <ahref="../../smkridge/vianip.htm">walk-in description</a> in open part of site), a less obvious marked path continues.
<p>A very large cave entrance, 20 minutes further on, is an old bivouac used
by the Munich cavers, and a few minutes later, a strongly draughting (out in
summer) tube about 5m in diameter is the main entrance to the
<ahref="40.htm">Eishöhle</a>. This was also the site of an old French
bivouac, but must have been very cold. Continuing past a large snow-choked
entrance and a couple of small holes, all in a cliff to the left, the path
ends abruptly and unambiguously at the "new" entrance, also strongly
draughting. This is between one and a half and two hours from the car park.
