<p>NB. The above name is provisional, since its not really my prerogative to
name it, but it should have a name really.
<p><b>Altitude:</b> 1711m, Depth 124m
<p><b>Location:</b> The Nipple, (aka "Wei&szlig;e Warze") E 36048.7 N (52)81489.0
<p>The square shaped entrance lies just below (22m vertically at 34m on
158&deg;) the nipple at the end of the ridge running SSW from Vorderer
Schwarzmooskogel. The first pitch starts after a short climb down boulders.
From here light may be seen entering from another entrance 143b. The pitch
of 20m lands on a small ledge and a short freeclimb leads to a traverse over
wedged blocks. The next pitch of 10m is rigged over the edge of the last of
these and brings one to a balcony at the start of a 23m shaft. Another
clean, almost circular shaft (19m) follows, to a climb of 6m down wedged
boulders. The passage now narrows to a small vadose canyon with a stream in
it, but soon turns vertical at an 8m pitch, followed quickly by one of 18m.
At the foot of this final shaft, the stream flows down a rift, approximately
10m deep, but too narrow to follow. Much hammering here achieved little
progress, but could be heard clearly in passages leading from above the Big
Pitch in <a href="41/41.htm#bigpitch">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle</a>.
<p><b>Exploration:</b> CUCC 1983, 1984
