174 Plateau schacht CUCC 90/4 1/S +

Altitude: 1665m (by altimeter set 1610 at Bergrestaurant)
Location: Situated on fracture bearing 044° which forms prominent banded cliff visible North of Top Camp on second low ridge.
Hinterer Schwarzmooskogel 088° (1995, 1990:087°) to right hand peak, Rightmost apparent peak of three on Vorderer Schwarzmooskogel 160° (1990), Bräuning Nase 188° (1995, 1990:189°), Bräuning Zinken 221° (1995, 1990:218°)
This cave is quite hard to find, even though the bearings get you very close. It is just below a cliff, which is almost the highest bit of cliff in the vicinity. The entrance is almost on the (E-W) axis on the ridge and the cliff faces SE. The number is easily missed.
