189 Plateau Schacht 189 1/S +

Altitude: 1642m
Location: Tag is at E 35545, N (52)82513.

Access:From Schwarzmoossattel directly out onto the plateau, keeping to the left edge of a large flat area of karren, passes first Fuchshöhle B11, then 164, a snow-plugged shaft below a small north-facing scar. 164 and 189 are both on the same joint going 018-198°: a few metres north of 164 is a fault line on 102-282° with a large open and heavily snow-plugged shaft, noted often since 1976, but not explored and written up until 1994 (or 1993?). This is 189, numbered in red paint, and marked with an Austrian metal tag in 1995.

In fact, it doesn't appear to have been written up at the time. It was redescended in 1996, and there is nothing in the 1996 logbook or notKH survey book, so there is no description here.

Exploration: CUCC 1993 or 1994
