(<i>Cambridge Underground 1977</i> gives bearings of Loser 234°, Bräuning Nase 292°. However, Loser is not visible from this area and it is most likely that this bearing is to Sommersitz, which looks rather similar from this direction.)<p> Relocated in searches in 1990 and 1996 - best (and pretty easily) found from Schwarzmoossattel or <a href="../tcamps.htm#topcamp">Top Camp</a> by following the path south until a small spring (at the site of the <a href="../tcamps.htm#1979camp">1979 bivouac</a>) feeds a tiny stream descending into the valley. This sinks in the northernmost shaft of <a href="../noinfo/kratzer/36.htm">Schachtgruppe 36</a>. In the centre of the valley across from this point is an obvious shakehole, usually with a small snowchoke, in a shaft. <p>Descent of 45° snow slope reaches a choked rift. Above and ahead water enters via small aven but no sign of a way on. <p><b>Exploration:</b> CUCC 1976 <br><b>Survey:</b> CUCC sketch 1996 <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#b4">Kratzer area index</a> </body> </html>
