Perhaps best located when looking for Wolfhöhle (which is nowhere nearby) in the mist (see <a href="../years/1984/log.htm#rescue">1984 logbook</a>). There was an OAV ski-tourers' marker pole due north of the col, from which the entrance is about 50m away on 35°. Unfortunately, the pole was pretty much invisible from the approach route in 1977, and is now rotting on the ground, only visible from a metre away at best. However, the cave was relocated in 1998. It turns out to be very close to the faintly-marked path which leads past <a href="200.htm">Lost Rucksack Cave</a> towards <a href="../newcaves/cu9605.htm">CUCC 1996-05</a>, and is a short way south of <a href="173.htm">1623/173</a>. <p>Entrance is in a rift orientated 40°-220° and hading about 20°. A 5m climb down leads to a horizontal passage going both ways, north leading out into the face of the scarp (101A). South (down dip) leads to a 4m pitch followed by a small crawl in a scree-floored phreatic tube, leading down dip, at about 30°. This drops via a short climb into a meandering phreatic tube with a tiny stream slot fed by an aven on the left. Progress is by crawling in the roof tube, which goes for about 40m until a window in the right wall leads to the base of an aven. The continuing crawl is too small, while a climb down below the aven (undescended) appears to choke. <p><b>Exploration:</b> CUCC 1977 - Team Youth (A.Waddington & N.Thorne) <p><b>Survey:</b> Surface survey to entrance CUCC, 1998 <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#101">Plateau area index</a> </body> </html>
