(1994 bearings <span lang="de-at">Bräuning Zinken</span> 284.5°, <span lang="de-at">Loser</span> 235°) <p>This was numbered 185 at the entrance, but this was fixed in 1997, and a metal tag "CUCC 186" bolted on. 1994 log shows location (note that the arrow labelled "approx north" is <u>very</u> approx, as it is actually roughly east): <p><a href="../years/1994/185map.png"><img src="../years/1994/185-2.png" width=563 height=124></a> <p>Following the route depicted, if you reach a sandy depression, you have gone too far. Cairn built by entrances. There are three entrances investigated: <p>Highest is really tight flat out crawl leading to a tightish but passable rift, draughting. Abandoned in favour of a newly collapsed small hole 10m below, at the foot of a small (5m) cliff. This had a very big rock blocking the entrance and rewarded the huge effort required to move it with nearly 5m of passage to a choke and a choked shaft. <p>10m further down still is the third entrance. A 6m climb down to a large ramp and a rebelay is the start of a 30m pitch. One way at the bottom is an 8m boulder slope climb up to a choke and small aven. The other way is a 2m climb into moonmilk crawl and some tight thrutching and chokes. All thoroughly investigated and not going anywhere. <p><img src="../years/1990/rosenk.png" width=768 height=627> <p>sketch survey by William Stead from 1990 logbook <p><b>Exploration:</b> CUCC 1990 <hr> <!-- LINKS --> <img alt=">" src="../../icons/lists/0.png"> <a href="../index.htm">Back to Expedition Intro page</a><br> <img alt="--->" src="../../icons/lists/1.png"> <a href="../indxal.htm">Full Index</a><br> <img alt="--->" src="../../icons/lists/1.png"> <a href="../areas.htm">Other areas</a><br> <img alt="------>" src="../../icons/lists/2.png"> <a href="index.htm#186"><span lang="de-at">Kratzer</span> area index</a> </body> </html>
