<p><b>Altitude:</b> 1587.5m.
<p><b>Location:</b> on the hillside below and to the east of 113,
E 36343.3, N (52)81278.4
<p>A vertical entrance which leads, at a depth of -145m, into <a
href="113.htm">Sonnenstrahlh&ouml;hle</a> below the Purple Pit, just
before M&uuml;sli crawl (-198m from Sonnenstrahl entrance bolt). Entrance
pitch <b>Scott</b> is 9m over snow, then a small tube leads down to a
short climb down boulders to an 8m pitch <b>Virgil</b>, followed
immediately by <b>Alan</b>, another 8m pitch landing in <b>Dump
Chamber</b>. A long rift, <b>Boulder Alley</b> leads to a rock bridge and
scramble down boulders into <b>Boulder Chamber</b> which ends in a 4m
climb and pitches of 5m (<b>John</b>) and 4m (<b>Parker</b>) over
boulders. A 5m pitch (<b>Mr. Tracy</b>) drops into the top of a very tall
narrow rift. A slight widening allows a short climb down into the canyon,
but is soon too tight - <b>Lady Penelope</b>. The rift continues until a
fault is met and <b>The Good Pitch Venus</b> is 24m to <b>Behind the
Drinks Cabinet</b>. A further rift leads to a 16m pitch which lands in
Sonnenstrahlh&ouml;hle.
<p>Boulder Chamber appears to correspond with the bouldery Opera House in
Sonnenstrahlh&ouml;hle, while the Good Pitch Venus and following 16m pitch
correlate with the Purple Pit.
