<p><b>Altitude:</b> 1633m, depth ~12m<br>
<b>Position:</b> E 35599 N 82909 (tag at 101)<br>
(GPS: (cliff directly above 101A) GK 5410503 5283483 (FOM 9.2m))<br>
<b>Bearings:</b> Br&auml;uning Scharte 218&deg;,
Grieskogel 012.5&deg;, Br&auml;uning Nase 194.5&deg;,
Lost Rucksack cairn 319&deg; (compass #439258: NPC2)<br>
<b>Marking:</b> extremely faded numbers "101" and "101A" in red on upper
and lower entrances. 1998 tag "1623 101 CUCC 1977" on upper entrance,
southeast-facing (M6 stud).
<p><b>Location:</b> Out on the plateau, near a large north-facing fault
scarp on 125-305&deg;. Perhaps best located when looking for Wolfh&ouml;hle
(which is nowhere nearby) in the mist (see
<a href="../years/1984/log.htm#rescue">1984 logbook</a>).
There was an OAV ski-tourers' marker pole due north of the col, from which
the entrance is about 50m away on 35&deg;. Unfortunately, the pole was pretty
much invisible from the approach route in 1977, and is now rotting on the
ground, only visible from a metre away at best. However, the cave was
relocated in 1998. It turns out to be very close to the
faintly-marked path which leads past <a href="200.htm">Lost
Rucksack Cave</a> towards <a href="../newcaves/cu9605.htm">CUCC 1996-05</a>,
and is a short way south of <a href="173.htm">1623/173</a>.
<p>Entrance is in a rift orientated 40&deg;-220&deg; and hading about
20&deg;. A 5m climb down leads to a horizontal passage going both ways,
north leading out into the face of the scarp (101A). South (down dip) leads
to a 4m pitch followed by a small crawl in a scree-floored phreatic tube,
leading down dip, at about 30&deg;. This drops via a short climb into a
meandering phreatic tube with a tiny stream slot fed by an aven on the left.
Progress is by crawling in the roof tube, which goes for about 40m until a
window in the right wall leads to the base of an aven. The continuing crawl
is too small, while a climb down below the aven (undescended) appears to
choke.
