<b>Altitude:</b> 1636m, Depth 25m
<b>Position:</b> E 35606, N (52)82526<br>
<b>Marking:</b> Number "B8" of 1976 vintage painted in dull green on the wall
facing south, opposite the fault scarp, which is very hard to spot, although
not fading appreciably year to year. There is an easier-to-find number
painted higher up on an east-facing rock, initially in orange, but
&quot;refreshed&quot; in red in 1995 as the orange paint was crap. Below this
number is the drilled spit with tag "CUCC 1976 B8", which is also the point
surveyed to. This will, in due course, be replaced by a new tag with the
Austrian kataster number, on the same bolt.
<p><b>Location:</b> 1976 bearings: Br&auml;uning Nase 208&deg;,
Sch&ouml;nberg 350&deg;, Spot point 1828, 240&deg;<br>
In fact it is impossible to see <b>any</b> landmarks from the actual
entrance.
<p>This is situated on the plateau just on a major fault where one climbs
down over bare rock for 4m. From <a href="../tcamps.htm#topcamp">Top
Camp</a>, head somewhat east of north onto a large area of bare karren
containing B11 (<a href="198.htm">1623/198</a>). Continue parallel with the
line of a small scarp running north, and pass <a href="164.htm">1623/164</a>
on the left. Scrambling past a wide snow choked shaft
(<a href="189.htm">1623/189</a>) on the right, descend and turn right, along
the line of a north-facing scarp containing B9
(<a href="190.htm">1623/190</a>), heading roughly east, and clamber down a
few small scars to the large open doline.

<p>A large open hole with snow in the bottom. In wet weather, the old number
is even harder to spot, but the hole is very noisy with sinking water. 20m
of ladder were fed down between snow and rock before snow plug totally
blocked the way on. However, this was in 1976, a year with quite a large
amount of snow.
