<p><b>Warning:</b> "Austria cave systems manual" has scribbled note "this
number not CUCC's", so this probably should revert to number CUCC-1990-18 ?
<b>Altitude:</b> 1650m<br>
<b>Location:</b> E 35502, N (52)82466<br>
<b>Description:</b>A line of about six entrances near <a
href="../tcamps.htm#topcamp">Top Camp</a>.
<p>A fun system of openings in a line, all connected by cave, the last of
which is a very tricky climb to get out of and is in the middle of Bunde. It
contains some snow and ice blockages, making it unpleasant without gear.
<P>It is not yet confirmed, but it seems likely that this is the same cave partially surveyed by Phil Underwood in 1997 entitled 'dodgy compost'. The position of Dodgy compost is indicated on this pic:
<IMG ALT="Position of Dodgy Compost" SRC="../images/dodgy.jpg ">
<P>This description is also provided:
<blockquote>From memory, the cave consists of two 3m deep surface shafts of diameter
two meters, connected by c. 4m of 0.60m diameter horizontal phreas at the
bottom. From the shaft nearer the Hinter-SMK the phreas continued for
another 5-6m before I ran away as it was getting a bit tight. It could
well be skinrip durchgang from the huge description given on the website,
and I just never made it as far as the awkward climb. Survey is Grade II.</blockquote>
