The more easterly is about 6m deep and can be seen to end in a chamber. The more westerly is a 15m pitch, with a window communicating with the east hole. At base are boulders and a climb down. A crawl leads to an inlet where water appears and sinks into an impenetrable slot with very sharp rock. <p>This cave was originally only numbered in carbide, so was unmarked for years. It was relocated in 1989, but was not numbered until 1993 since AERW didn't think to carry paint while trying to find old holes. The orange numer was fading and chipped in 1995, so was refreshed in red. The surface survey was to the centre of the middle digit of the number. It is, in fact, extremely near <a href="../tcamps.htm#topcamp">Top Camp</a>, virtually on one of the routes to the Schwarzmooskogel areas. <p><b>Exploration:</b> CUCC 1977, Team Youth, and again in 1990 by AERW <hr> <!-- LINKS --> <img alt=">" src="../../icons/lists/0.gif"> <a href="../index.htm">Back to Expedition Intro page</a><br> <img alt="--->" src="../../icons/lists/1.gif"> <a href="../indxal.htm">Full Index</a><br> <img alt="--->" src="../../icons/lists/1.gif"> <a href="../areas.htm">Other areas</a><br> <img alt="------>" src="../../icons/lists/2.gif"> <a href="index.htm#100">Plateau area index</a> </body> </html>
