Explore the QMs at ~ -25m in Gemshöhle (107) (description suggests non-draughting
-chokes, survey suggests QMs), and the ~-70m route to the Big Pitch for any
-horizontal leads, as this is about the same level as Brave New World, and <100m
-away.
-
Explore, survey and tag 83 (specifically phreatic continuation beyond pitch).
-
-
Pirat Schacht (157). Explored by
-someone other than CUCC, and apparently only partially descended by CUCC.
-
-
-
Eislufthöhle area:
-
-
Check surveys of 2004-01 (bivi
-cave) vs 99 - the legs seem
-misaligned in one or the other.
-
-
"Batter Pot" is a potential entrance above Pancake Chips Aven in 76, which
-might provide an easier route in to at least some of Brave New World. It
-probably needs minor excavation work to make an easy entrance.
-
-
Schneewindschacht (97) probably deserves a revisit, due to its proximity to 76 and a phreatic level known to have a continuing traverse - the "not even mentioned as tight" part before the entrance
-squeeze looks fun though!
-
-
Look at potential "back doors" into 97 - there are numerous holes
-nearby.
-
-
105 lies very near 76 and on the
-same fault system that the original 76 entrances are formed in. 105 is
-probably just a ~40m blind shaft as the 1970s description says, but worth
-shoving a rope down to verify.
-
-
Descend Hanger Pot with
-full caving kit and later in the expedition to see if the snow plug is
-passable. The "straight on" lead in the Boiling Tubes in Brave New World in 76
-is heading for it.
-
-
Recheck draughting icy tube in Ice Curtain Cave with crampons or an ice
-axe (probably best done late in expo).
-
-
Refind 2004-04 and
-2004-09
-and surface survey, and take photos.
-
-
-
Bräuninghöhle area:
-
-
Look at possible phreatic passage at ~-55m in Bräuninghöhle (82), which corresponds roughly with the level of "Brave New World" in 76.
-
-
Find and tag 84 (draughts, unexplored tube) and 86 (almost certainly refound in 2006
-since there's only one shaft in the area which seems to match the description
-- no paint spotted yet though).
-
-
Survey and check out any missed leads in 85 (~50m long, no rigging gear
-apparently) and 81 (~15m long, no
-rigging gear).
-
-
2006-70 needs a surface
-survey and the pitch descending.
-
-
Marilyn Monroe Höhle (148) is
-described as ending at "a steep ice-climb for which no equipment was
-available". Also mentioned is a route which "terminates in a steep ice
-slope at the far side of the chamber". The cave has a good cold outward
-draught, so a revisit with ice gear might be productive.
-
-
-
Hit Lists:
-
-
-
Surface survey: 102 to
-101main or other nearby entrance.
Refind
-99-OB-01
-(tagged and photographed and bearings taken in 1999; not explored or
-GPSed, and not found in a search in 2006).
-
-
Try to refind 178. It was found
-shortly after Tantalus Schacht (177)
-on the same prospecting walk. 177 has proved impossible to relocate,
-but if 178 were found that might give us a better idea where to look.
-
-
Look for
-110 - it's further out than
-111 and
-112
-which we found last year, and was found by the same people on the same surface
-walk. However, we looked last year and there's a huge area it could
-potentially be in so it may be a hopeless case.
