At the north end of its short ridge, by hacking through dwarf pine, <a href="../../../handbook/survey/lasers.htm">Laser Point 0/7</a> can be found, in an entertaining position perched over the cliff down to the Schwarzmoossattel. The actual summit is at the south end of the ridge, and views of the plateau from anywhere on the top are restricted by the clinging pines. This view is from the ridge leading west from the Nase towards the higher points of the Bräuning wall. Compare this 1978 shot with the more <a href="nasevw.htm">recent (1996) view</a> from the Bräuning Nase to see how vegetation has changed since CUCC started to visit the area. <p>This shot was taken ten years before we first camped on the plateau. <a href="../../../tcamps.htm#topcamp">Top Camp</a> would eventually be sited just off the bottom of the picture left of centre. Behind this, an area of limestone karren with noticeable diagonal scarps is the location of <a href="../../171/171.html">1623/171</a> whilst to the right and nearer is another patch of bare karren containing <a href="../../198/198.html">B11</a>, <a href="../../164.htm">164</a> and <a href="../../189.htm">189</a>. Hinterer Schwarzmooskogel is the peak on the skyline left of centre, and <a href="../../../smkridge/161/top.htm">Kaninchenhöhle's</a> top entrance lies just in from the right hand edge of the picture on the horizon. <br><font size=-1>Photo © Andy Waddington, 1978</font> <!-- Photo S334, Photo-CD 6121 1651 2353 img 62 --> <hr /> <!-- LINKS --> <ul> <li><a href="../../index.html">Plateau description</a></li> <li><a href="../../../index.htm">Back to Expedition Intro page</a> <ul> <li><a href="../../../areas.htm">Area/subarea descriptions</a></li> <li><a href="../../../indxal.htm">Full Index</a></li> <li><a href="../../../areas.htm">Other areas</a> <ul> <li><a href="../../index.html">Plateau area index</a></li> </ul></li> </ul></li> <li><a href="../../../../index.htm">Back to CUCC Home page</a></li> </ul> </body> </html>
