<h1>Approach via summit of Vorderer Schwarzmooskogel</h1>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>Although relatively close to the
|
2020-05-01 16:43:07 +01:00
|
|
|
<a href="../handbook/tollrd.htm">Bergrestaurant</a> in pure distance terms, the summit
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
area of the <span lang="de-at">Vorderer Schwarzmooskogel</span> is an
|
|
|
|
|
inaccessible location, hedged around with small cliffs and patches of dwarf
|
|
|
|
|
pine.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>There are three possible approaches, of varying merits, and which is used
|
|
|
|
|
depends as much on the favoured starting point, as on anything else. From
|
|
|
|
|
the Bergrestaurant itself, it is possible (though not easy) to follow the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="vianip.htm">Nipple path</a>, not as far as the Nipple itself, then
|
|
|
|
|
hack up towards the summit, possibly via Schwabenschacht. However, this is
|
|
|
|
|
only really useful if also visiting caves near this path.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>A second approach, equally usable from the road or from <a
|
2022-03-10 22:53:22 +00:00
|
|
|
href="../handbook/tcamps.html#id1977camp">first 1977 Top Camp</a> is a direct assault of the small
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
cliffs and dwarf pine from the Schwarzmoossattel, or slightly down valley.
|
|
|
|
|
This appears to be the route used most frequently when the summit area caves
|
|
|
|
|
were explored in the early eighties, but has not been used recently.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The "modern" approach is to follow the 161 approach, hacking off at
|
|
|
|
|
either of two points, depending on whether caves east or west and north
|
|
|
|
|
of the summit are the destination.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
For the north and west, a recently cairned path seems to be the most
|
|
|
|
|
popular approach to the summit by walkers, and is clearly destined to
|
|
|
|
|
become increasingly clear with traffic. Indeed, it is becoming an easy
|
|
|
|
|
route for those approaching 161 and the col to get side-tracked onto.
|
|
|
|
|
It ascends close to <a href="../handbook/survey/lasers.htm">laser point</a>
|
2005-06-01 15:10:04 +01:00
|
|
|
0/1, and the small group of nearby entrances, the most obvious of which is
|
2022-03-10 22:53:22 +00:00
|
|
|
the open shaft of <a href="../1623/156/156.html">1623/156.</a> This should be skirted on
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
the left (uphill, east) side. Following the cairned route through various
|
|
|
|
|
patches of pine leads to the summit, not obvious until you are almost upon
|
|
|
|
|
it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p>The route taken by early eighties surface surveys, to caves on the east
|
|
|
|
|
side of the summit (and perhaps best
|
|
|
|
|
for those based at Top Camp familiar with the route to
|
2022-03-10 22:53:22 +00:00
|
|
|
<a href="../1623/161/top.htm">Kaninchenhöhle</a>), is to go along a traverse
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
route marked with orange paint (by a French caving group, we believe), from
|
2022-03-10 22:53:22 +00:00
|
|
|
the 161c entrance. This path leads below <a href="../1623/162.htm">162</a> and
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="/1623/163/index.html">163</a> to lead eventually towards the
|
2005-06-12 13:53:52 +01:00
|
|
|
<a href="40area.html">Eishöhle area</a>, between Kaninchenhöhle
|
2022-03-10 22:53:22 +00:00
|
|
|
and <a href="../1623/41/41.htm">Stellerweghöhle.</a> This zone has various caves
|
2001-08-15 19:29:27 +01:00
|
|
|
not explored by CUCC, and as such was neglected by us for many years.
|
2005-06-12 13:53:52 +01:00
|
|
|
However, around 2000 it became clear that it was a critical area beneath which
|
|
|
|
|
the much sought-after connection between the two biggest caves in the area must
|
|
|
|
|
lie, and it received much attention from both CUCC and Arge for several years
|
|
|
|
|
(although the connection was eventually found elsewhere). See, for example, the
|
|
|
|
|
<a href="../years/2000/goals.htm">2000 Expo goals document</a>. This area can
|
|
|
|
|
also be accessed via the <a href="vianip.htm">Nipple path</a>, which was the
|
|
|
|
|
main access route for the CUCC explorations in Eishöhle.
