<p><b>Altitude:</b> 1657.6 m (referred to 0/4), Depth -216m, +20m<br>
<b>Position:</b> E 35868 N (52)82578 (tip of boulder at entrance marked '82')
<b>Marking:</b> "82" in red paint on boulder and on left of cave. 1998 tag
"1623 82 CUCC 1977" on right inside cave entrance (not at survey point).
<p><b>Location:</b> Plateau 430m from col, roughly NE.
<p><b>Approach:</b> From Schwarzmoossattel, follow description to
<a href="80.htm">80</a>. From here, a route leads directly towards Hinterer
Schwarzmooskogel over fairly flat karren, becoming more shattered towards
another cairn. Then there is a somewhat chaotic area.
<p>Skirt this on the left to a small ridge running left-right. There is a
cairn to the right across the chaotic bit. From the ridge, 82 is the obvious
entrance directly ahead. Across the ridge to the right, more cairns lead
initially towards 82, but then become misleading as they head up the hill to
<a href="145.htm">Wolfh&ouml;hle</a> (145).

<p>Very obvious walking sized cave entrance leads to a boulder strewn
passage (ice formations early in season) into an aven with daylight entering
20m above. A scramble over boulders leads to <b>Apfelschacht</b> - a 6m
pitch with loose boulders at the head. This drops to a 3m climb and then a
20m pitch <b>Orangenschacht</b> with a trickle of water entering halfway
down. From the foot, a fine keyhole passage imaginatively named
<b>Schl&uuml;ssellochgang</b>, and a choice of routes. The most obvious
way on is a 10m pitch, <b>Bierschacht</b> over a stalagmite flow to an
awkward crawl, <b>Worm Passage</b>, which looked likely to end things.
However, this opens out suddenly at a pitch head. <b>Nocheinbierschacht</b>
is 15m, impressively free. At the foot, a vocal connection can be made with a
phreatic passage above the third pitch which ends in a big hole.
<p>Ahead is a phreatic tunnel which chokes, and a large black emptiness.
This is descended for 25m in four 6m steps, <b>Viermalbierschacht</b>, to
a ledge big enough for one and a bit people. The stream goes over this ledge
into a large black void. This pitch, <b>Besoffene</b>, is 50m and hangs
free for all but the last 8m in a very impressive shaft. From the foot,
traverse above a steeply dropping stream canyon to a sloping platform from
which a 17m pitch reaches the stream floor. This cascades over a further 6m
pitch, below which a climb out of the stream reaches a rig point for a 30m
pitch ending on a slope down to a sump at -216m.
