<b>Marking:</b> the hole believed to be 160 was unmarked until tagged in 1998
"1623 160 CUCC 1988" on flat limestone 1m east of entrance. This had been
relocated in 1996 and was then thought to be <a href="159.htm">159</a>, but
latter was found marked in 1998.
<p><b>Location:</b> On plateau, near <a href="b10.htm">B10</a> (according to
B10 info). <a href="../years/1988/log.htm#start">Map in 1988 logbook</a>
shows 160 as out on the plateau from Br&auml;uning Scharte in an area of
terracing, and WSW of B10. Hole tagged in 1998 is just east of 91, and can
also be reached by following the terrace west from the 159 entrance.
<p>1988 logbook implies that this is &quot;Jared's Hole&quot;. Was
provisionally numbered &quot;181&quot; but apparently never marked. Bottoming
trip used a 70m rope to reach a choke (with a draught). A small side rift at
the bottom choked after 3m.
<p>The cave could probably do with another descent to record some details
of the interior or even a survey !
