Ends too tight.</i></p> <p>However, a cave numbered 108 was relocated in 2004, which does not match this description at all. It's marked with paint "108" and has a spit in the centre of the "0". The spit isn't great, but there's a good chunky flake to use too. The shaft descends ~9m to a ledge. At this level there's a horizontal passage which leads immediately to a 4m deep blind rift pitch. Back in the main shaft, a few natural rebelays get you to a floor just under 30m down. At one end of the rift a draught emerges from rocks, but removing some rocks it appears it would need quite a lot of work to make progress and the continuation may be too small anyway. This cave seems a perfect match for the "deep sounding shaft" described as explored on 1979-08-05 in the 1979 log book.</p></underground_description> <equipment></equipment> <references></references> <survey></survey> <kataster_status></kataster_status> <underground_centre_line>In dataset</underground_centre_line> <notes>This does not appear to be in the Austrians' Kataster.</notes> <length></length> <depth></depth> <extent></extent> <survex_file></survex_file> <description_file></description_file> <url>1623/108/108.html</url> </cave> </body> </html>
