Pete Lancaster at the final sump in 1623/115,
Schnellzughöhle during the explorations of 1982.
This was the second of only two trips (both camping underground) to reach
this point: 885m (1999 survey figures) below the original
Stellerweghöhle entrance (and at -974m from
the highest entrance, linked in 1985).
The trip was a 32 hour
marathon of surveying, the odd bit of photography, and derigging the lower
streamway.
