Tents of the 1977 advance camp on the pasture above Bräuning Alm. This is just off the path used by CUCC on the walk-in to the col and the later Top Camp at the edge of the plateau (and since 2000 on across the plateau to Stronebirdge bivvy). The three cavers (Julian Griffiths, Nick Reckert and Steve Perry) are just getting ready for a trip into 1623/95, an open shaft just behind the photographer. Note that all are in wetsuits!
