Contouring around to the south of the depression, following the bedding, LA25 to 27 are close together.<br> LA26 is approximately 200m SE of <a href="la25.htm">LA25</a> <p>A large low opening behind a large snow field soon develops into a large horizontal passage dropping to a choke after 50m. A climb up before the choke reaches a loose ramp. Uphill in the ramp chokes, whilst down the slope passes an oxbow toreach a drippy choked chamber. Opposite the point of entry to the ramp, a slot in the wall reaches an ascending ramp. To the left is a small inlet, and to the right is a pitch into the rift. A climbable bypass gains the roof of the drippy chamber. <p><b>Exploration:</b> LUSS 1987 <p><b>Acknowledgement:</b>The above description is taken from the LUSS <a href="../others/luss/index.htm">report</a> on the 1987 expedition. <hr> <!-- LINKS --> <img alt=">" src="../../icons/lists/0.png"> <a href="index.htm#la26">Far plateau area</a> index and description<br> <img alt=">" src="../../icons/lists/0.png"> <a href="../indxal.htm">Full Index</a><br> <img alt=">" src="../../icons/lists/0.png"> <a href="../areas.htm">1623 Area/Subarea description</a><br> <img alt=">" src="../../icons/lists/0.png"> <a href="../1626/index.htm">Adjacent area 1626</a><br> <img alt=">" src="../../icons/lists/0.png"> <a href="../index.htm">Back to Expedition Intro page</a><br> <img alt=">" src="../../icons/lists/0.png"> <a href="../../index.htm">Back to CUCC Home page</a> </body> </html>
