The shaft is formed on the same fracture line as 1623/172 (as are several smaller, unmarked shafts), trending on 024°. The shaft is 20m deep, 7m in diameter and has a snow plug which may or may not allow access down a gap at the edge, depending on conditions. <p> <br><font size=-1>Photo © Earl Merson, 1999</font> <!-- Photo scanned from print, AERW --> <hr /> <ul> <li><a href="../../173.htm">Back to cave description</a></li> </ul> </body> </html>
