<p><b>Altitude:</b> 1700m, Depth 128m (deepest surveyed point is -118m)
<p><b>Location:</b> 400m NNE of The Nipple <span lang=de>(Wei&szlig;en
Warze)</span> at the base of a wall to the left after passing a sandy
depression (walking from the Nipple).
<p>A body-width passage formed by a wall on the left and a large detached
slab on the right descends for about 5m at 45&deg;, with occasional glimpses
of daylight above. A cross passage is then encountered. To the right is
blocked after a few metres, but left descends to meet the base of the wall.
To the right here, a 20-22cm squeeze is passed by lying on one side. After
2m of further tight progress, the rift opens onto a drop. A steep tube
descends for about 12m to a small chamber and with care can be descended
free.
<p>From the chamber, the passage curves to the left and opens onto the head
of a 7m pitch, which drops onto a large ledge. A rebelay just over the lip of
the ledge at the left hand side gives a further 18m free-hanging pitch to a
landing on boulders several metres across, which appear to be jammed across
the shaft.
<p>A narrow rift around a corner stops at a drip and a small pool. The way on
is through a gap to a hole with a jammed block. Climbing down to the block
leads to the head of an 18m pitch which rapidly opens into a huge split-level
chamber. The pitch lands on <b>Big Bertha</b>, a boulder some 4m in diameter.
<p>To the north, a narrow rift has been followed for about 10m to a tight
vertical drop of at least 5m down the rift, but this has not been pushed.
East from Big Bertha leads to a 5m drop to the lower half of the chamber,
which is floored with loose rock. An archway to the left leads to a 7m pitch
to a small stream. This disappears down an impassable slot, but is met lower
in the cave.
<p>From the archway, a climb up behind a boulder propped against the side of
the chamber leads to a col. One side rapidly curves up to the roof. The other
ascends over very loose boulders for at least 25m (15m vertical) until the
roof is met. This area has not been exhaustively pushed, but seems unlikely
to lead anywhere.
<p>Descending the other side of the col gives a series of ledges via 5m, 7m
and 8m pitches, in a canyon some 5m wide and at least 15m high. The stream
enters at the bottom of the 7m pitch. Below, the rift continues down a
moderate slope and round a corner, with a final short 4m pitch to a soil and
rock floored chamber.
<p>A strong draught is felt around the edges of the chamber, rising from the
choked floor. It is possible to descend in loose boulders in a number of
places but all ways meet the roof and choke - pushing in this area is
dangerous and unpromising.
<p>Near the bottom of the previous pitch, a 5m deep circular pit in the floor
can be descended. This takes a large drip from the stream above. At the
bottom, a tight (22-26cm) rift leads on for 3m to a further 3m pitch to a
small chamber. An impassable passage continues, while a small window gives a
view of a widening beyond.
