<p><b>Altitude:</b> 1639m
<p><b>Location:</b> a short way South East of <span lang="de">Eislufth&ouml;hle</span> Kat.76
<br> E 35876.6 N (52)82903.5 H 1638.9
<p>Draughting entrance near <span lang="de">Eislufth&ouml;hle</span>
<a href="76.htm">(1623/76)</a>, ignored at first, since it was assumed it
would join 76.
<p>Entrance gully of 5m leads to 20m pitch at 70&deg; over snow, heading
roughly back towards Eislufth&ouml;hle. At the base is a 'snow-duck' under a
rock wall beyond which a small rift-like chamber descends about 3m. Straight
ahead at the same level, the rift quickly becomes an impenetrable slot
through which can be seen a 2m wide passage with an ice floor running down
from right to left at 5-10&deg;. This is the source of the strong draught.
Below the slot is another low hole, this leaks a vague draught and leads to
a small boulder-strewn ledge with a definite blackness continuing to the
left behind more boulders. Energetic but nervous removal of these gave
obvious signs of a continuation, but other commitments and rain prevented a
return.
