Pitch of 25m drops onto snow bank, and route to southeast of this drops a further 15m to a complete choke with snow. <p><b>Survey:</b> Grade 1 plan/elev of 156 and T.B.H. from <a href="../years/1987/log.htm">1987 Log Book</a> <p><b>Exploration:</b> CUCC 1987 <p>The <a href="../years/1987/log.htm">log book</a> refers to exploration in the vicinity of 0/1 including 156 and a nearby cave (unnumbered in 1987) <a href="199.htm">Tumbling Boulder Hole</a>. There is, however, another piece of paper which says it is very near (and NE of) point 0/2. This appears to arise from the diagram which accompanies the log book entry, which shows 0/2 with no north arrow, and uphill up the page. If the point was really 0/1 on this diagram, then the descriptions would match, with north at 7 O'Clock on the diagram. The logbook suggests that the discoverers had visited 0/2 (and found very little nearby) and then 0/1 later, finding 156. GPS location and later a surface survey (1998) confirms that 0/1 is the correct laser point. <hr> <!-- LINKS --> <img alt=">" src="../../icons/lists/0.png"> <a href="index.htm#156">Schwarzmooskogel ridge area</a><br> <img alt=">" src="../../icons/lists/0.png"> <a href="../indxal.htm">Full Index</a><br> <img alt=">" src="../../icons/lists/0.png"> <a href="../areas.htm">Other Areas</a><br> <img alt=">" src="../../icons/lists/0.png"> <a href="../index.htm">Back to Expedition Intro page</a> </body> </html>
