To the right leads to another chamber, which ent H drops into, and a slope up to the left about 2m up the wall leads to entrance D. Continuing on stooping passage leads to a climb which emerges under a stone bridge whcih contains entrances E, F and G. A crawl at ground level between A & B leads to some loose slopes and entrance I. From the day light chamber the passage to the left leads quickly to a 3m climb down into the largest chamber of the cave. From here around to the left leads to entrance shaft C, and a passage leads off the other side of the shaft that is walking height leading to climbs up over boulders with a loose ceiling above. This leads to a T junction, which ends in boulders to the right and a short climb to a dead end to the left. To the right in the largest chamber, a wide low short passage leads to an ice-floored chamber. Crawling passage then leads to the deepest chmber, which has an ice flow into and down the chamber. At the opposite end of the chamber a 3m climb is reached, which was climbed and quickly closed down. <br> <p><a href="231surveylarge.jpg"><img alt="231 survey" src="231surveysmall.jpg"></a> <p>Survey of 231 <p><a href="231aphotolarge.png"><img alt="231A photo" src="231aphotosmall.jpg"></a> <p>Photo of 231A <p><b>Marking</b>: Spit holes prepared, Tags made saying 1623/231 and may be placed for all entrances. <p><b>Exploration:</b> CUCC 2000 <hr> <!-- LINKS --> <img alt=">" src="../../../icons/lists/0.png"> <a href="../../">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#231">Schwarzmooskogel ridge area index</a> </body> </html>
