Best way in is to the left where a freeclimb leads down a 10m ramp in a chamber. This is snow-choked in some years but in 1980 a dig opened a triangular slot to a 6m pitch into a smaller, boulder-choked chamber. This was reentered in 1987 and an animal skeleton was found and removed for the Austrian cavers. There is a very small, but draughting tube in the roof of this final chamber, going back towards the surface. <p><b>Exploration:</b> CUCC 1980, 1987 <p>Note: This does not appear to be in the Austrians' Kataster. <hr> <!-- LINKS --> <img alt=">" src="../../icons/lists/0.png"> <a href="index.htm#109">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>
