The following standard abbreviations are used when recording bearings, for example to locate a newly-discovered entrance.
| BN | Bräuningnase |
| VSK | Vord Schwarzmooskogel (this is multi-summited and not terribly useful) |
| HSK | Hinter Schwarzmooskogel - either only one summit is apparent, or we don't know which summit was used |
| HSKl/HSKr | LH and RH peaks of the above |
| BS | Bräuning Scharte |
| BW | Bräuning Wall (two peaks lower than BZ) |
| BWe/BWw | LH (point 1828) and RH (point 1835) peaks of the above (see near and far views for clarification) |
| BZ | Bräuning Zinken |
| Nip | VSK nipple |
| OAV | OAV marker pole |
| Sch | Schönberg |
| <year>TC | Top camp in relevant year |
| KWK | Bearings taken by Kate to the "Kleine Wehr Kogel" a hill which is unfortunately invisible from the plateau! It turns out that this is actually Klein Wildkogel - but transcripts of original documents will still use this abbreviation. |
