<p>The obvious way in leads to a 'Viewing gallery' over the entrance chamber,
but descent this way would require tackle. Best way in is to the left where
a freeclimb leads down a 10m ramp in a chamber. This is snow-choked in some
years but in 1980 a dig opened a triangular slot to a 6m pitch into a
smaller, boulder-choked chamber. This was reentered in 1987 and an animal
skeleton was found and removed for the Austrian cavers. There is a very
small, but draughting tube in the roof of this final chamber, going back
towards the surface.
<p><b>Exploration:</b> CUCC 1980, 1987
<p>Note: This does not appear to be in the Austrians' Kataster.

<p><b>Location:</b> Follow St&ouml;gerweg (path 201) well past turn off for
<a href="41.htm">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle</a>. This involves a steep descent,
then a long horizontal stretch, crossing the dry valley containing Kat.
<a href="87.htm">87a</a>. After quite a way, there is an orange paint flash
on the left, more easily seen when coming the other way. This is just a few
metres before you turn left and start hacking up the hillside. Further orange
paint marks the route, which goes up a dry valley and over the entrance
<a href="109.htm">109</a>. Eventually, a scrub-free area is reached, go right
and then scramble up rock towards a tree. Don´t rush beyond the tree or
you'll fall a long way.

<p>Entrance is <b>huge</b>. A sizeable dry valley develops into a canyon
which is full of snow. The canyon ends downstream in a solid wall, where the
rigging point for the entrance pitch starts by the aforementioned tree. A
short drop leads to a ledge where a stretch to the left (facing the rock)
reaches a rebelay in a fine position on the impending wall. From here, drop
21m onto a large snow slope, then 10m further to the flat snow floor of a
large chamber lit from above by the shaft.

alt="(photo (23k jpeg))" width=130 height=200></a></center>
<p>The way on is up a climb of 3m to a horizontal passage. There is an area
of hading rifts, not fully explored. The first hole descends a ramp over
treacherous ice and rubble for 30m to the head of a pitch, <b>Ibbeth Perilous
Pot</b>. A second parallel ramp connects to the same point. Both these ramps
suffer from loose rock and are best tackled with a handline. The main pitch
drops for 20m in a series of steps, best rigged. A final 13m drop then lands
on a rock/ice blockage <b>Marathon Ledge</b>, which at one time contained the
original explorer's helmet and lights, dropped from the head of the pitch. A
hammered route past the blockage leads to two short drops, then a 6m pitch
into the Opera House (see below).
<p>A descent of the second major hole from the entrance is the normal route
and leads to a ramp down, traverse across and the head of <b>Point Five
Gully</b>. The gully is decorated with ice formations early in the season,
as are all the useful hand- and footholds on the following ramp, so a rope
is recommended to descend <b>Fox's Glacier</b>. At the foot, about 60m
below the entrance chamber, is a low bouldery chamber, and a low arch leads
to a larger chamber, <b>Barnsley Methodist Chapel</b>, which is 20m high
and 30m long.
<p>The Chapel is floored with large boulders at one end, but an obvious low
sandy passage to the left leads to the head of a 14m dry rift pitch with a
bouldery takeoff. The pitch is free-hanging after the first two metres, to a
gravel-floored chamber opening off the rift. Water entering high on the
right takes a floor trench 10m deep which may be traversed above to gain the
<b>Balcony</b> of the <b>Opera House</b>, an impressive 20m diameter,
roughly circular chamber. A 12.5m pitch (awkward takeoff as rigged in 1980)
gains the bouldery, sloping floor. A scramble down boulders and a further 7m
pitch over a very large boulder leads into a rift, where an awkward 10m
pitch with natural belays and joke bolts leads to a flat mud floor at a
larger section at the head of a pitch. At this point the draught changes
direction, the cave becomes clean, and a stream is met falling from an
inaccessible (and out of sight) passage, apparently at the same level as the
pitch head.
<p>Down the pitch, a rebelay (which is a very long stretch to rig unless
you're very tall) avoids the worst of the water on <b>Purple Pit</b>. Quite
possibly this could be rigged as a deviation (we didn't do these in 1980).
There is a long section to a large ledge, from where the pitch leaves the
fault it has been following and heads down a series of short steps with
rebelays a few metres apart. At the bottom of this section, 60m below the
start, a further fault is met at right angles, with twin holes in the floor.
The first one is wet and nasty, while the second is tolerable. Both unite and
go off to the left in a diminutive streamway. To the right above the holes is
the entry point from <a href="152.htm">Bananeh&ouml;hle</a>(152), explored in
1985.

<br clear=all></center>
<p>The diminutive streamway ends shortly in a tight sump, but before this, a
climb up leads unobviously to a traverse and then a crawl trending back over
the entry point, <b>M&uuml;sli Crawl</b>. A number of acute bends are
disorientating, then a short drop leads to a final rift and a pitch head.
This is a thrutch to start, then drops 10m to where the water reenters. A
series of drops, <b>Sprucy Wind</b>, follows, and some of the bolts (1980
vintage, greased in 1982) are easily missed, which makes the pitches wetter.
There is a branch shaft at one point which is unexplored, but appears to
reunite somewhat lower down. The pitches of 8, 26, 12, 10, 10, 20, 5 and 9m
drop to a final rift chamber where an inlet from up on the left doubles the
size of the stream on a rocky floor. This inlet responds to floods about an
hour faster than the main water. The combined waters fall down a 6m drop and
sink in a gravel-choked pool.
<p>Climbing up opposite the inlet, a dry rift is a little tight but pops out
into a series of dry passages, apparently quite unrelated to the rift
pitches. This area, <b>The Crematorium</b>, is a good place to wait when the
pitches flood. There is a large horizontal passage ending in a chamber with
various bedding crawl extensions. Avens in the roof are hard to reach (one
bolt used for aid) and don't seem to go anywhere. A narrow rift in the floor
contains the stream, and a climb down can be made at one point where it is
just wide enough. Thrutching forward in a traverse cum crawl a short way
above the water, a couple more diminutive drops reach a place where to
continue would be just plain stupid, since it is small and wet. The cave was
rigged in 1982 just to go and push the end. It didn't go.
<p>There is potential for further extension by traversing over down-ramps in
the entrance area, and by gaining access to the source of the water (and
route of the draught) at the top of Purple Pit. Apparently the Point Five
Gully and Fox's Glacier Ramp was traversed over in 1987, and another ramp
descended, but this seems to have rejoined the main route somewhere near
Barnsley Methodist Chapel. This route was not surveyed.
<p><b>Exploration:</b> CUCC 1980 (Team Sunbeam) to bottom; 1982 to push
bottom, but no new passage found. Entered from 152 in 1985, Ibbeth Perilous
Pot route connected 1987

<b>Position:</b> E 35840 N (52)81049<br>
<b>Marking:</b> number painted on right (east-facing) wall of entrance
<p><b>Location:</b> Follow St&ouml;gerweg beyond <a
href="../noinfo/smkridge/32.htm">Windloch</a> to a steep descent. Just below
this, by a large tree on the right of the path (permanent survey station P3),
descend steeply to the right on a barely discernible trod.
<p>This involves at least one freeclimb which is awkward with lots of kit.
Make lots of noise if you are first, especially on the first trip, since
snakes seem to like it here. Eventually a large horizontal
railway-tunnel-like entrance appears. If you fall off a cliff, you've gone a
little too far downhill.
<p>This is the main entrance through which the majority of the <a
href="41.htm">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle</a> system was explored. See the
separate <a href="41/115.htm#ent115">full guidebook description</a> for
details, just an overview is given here.
<p>The entrance leads to a non-obvious way on to the head of the short
<b>Bell Pitch</b>, from where very awkward going leads out to a bigger
passage to reach <b>The Ramp</b> a series of off-vertical pitches.
The damper but technically easier <b>Inlet Pitches</b> drop to a Big
Chamber, from where <b>Pete's Purgatory</b> starts, and leads in 800m
of tortuous going to <b>The Confluence</b> and the larger streamway
leading to the deepest point.
<p>Better is the <b>Purgatory Bypass</b> which starts as dry fossil tubes,
with a choice of routes to reach <b>Junction Chamber</b> where the <b>Big
Rift</b> of <a href="41.htm">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle</a> enters. Opposite, the
huge fossil tube of <b>Dartford Tunnel</b> makes for easy progress to the
Confluence, about halfway down the system. The continuing main streamway is
interrupted by a bypassable sump and numerous pitches before a low airspace
duck at the end of an unpromising canal leads to the spectacular <b>Orgasm
Chasm</b>. Careful rigging avoids the water in this 140m shaft, ending
in muddy passage and another short drop to a deep and terminal sump.

47&deg; 40' 41" N 13&deg; 48' 58" E
<p>From Top Camp, climb the "high" route towards 161. Just past the
highest point, join a traverse round the Schwarzmooskogel heading
south and eventually more west. If you pick the right level, this
passes the large open shaft of 140. Alternatively, the cave may be
approached from the summit (point 1843) though various cliffs make
this approach difficult.
<p>Shaft entrance is 9m by 6m, with first pitch 15m to boulders.
A 6m pitch is immediately followed by a 10m drop to a sloping boulder
floor. From the end of this, a 5.5m drop reaches a longer boulder
slope, which leads into a canyon at 90&deg;. Down this is a longer
pitch split into 10 and 10.5m sections by a small ledge, landing on
a very large boulder. Over the boulder are two ways on.
<p>Through a squeeze is a shaft 10m deep to floor with <b>continuing
hole and a further shaft to one side, neither of which were descended,
despite a draught coming out through the squeeze</b>.
<p>The way followed is a 5m pitch from the big boulder, to a boulder false
floor. At the end of this, the roof rises into a high aven and an 11m
pitch drops to a flat boulder floor next to another huge block. A hole
down gives a 7m drop next to stacked rocks and a way on across boulders
leads to a final 8m pitch.
<p>Forward over boulders passes under another high aven from which water
falls. A short climb down leads to where this water disappears into a
scrofulous slot, at a depth of 95m.
<p>The cave is in a key position, almost directly above the Breeze
Block area of <a href="161/chile.htm">Chile,</a> in Kaninchenh&ouml;hle.
However, these passages lie between 250 and 300m below the 140 entrance,
so this is probably not a potential easy way in.

<p>NB. this entrance to the main system really should have a name.
<p><b>Altitude:</b> 1615.1m
<p><b>Location:</b> Hack up the hillside behind <a
href="../noinfo/smkridge/32.htm">Windloch</a> (Kat.32).
The entrance was prominently numbered '132' in red but this
was finally changed in 1996 after the connection to
<a href="78.htm">Schwabenschacht</a> (1623-78)<br>
E 35770.4 N (52)81218.2
<p>Yet another entrance to <a href="41.htm">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle</a>, with
two points of connection, and also the first point of connection with
Schwabenschacht, a similar cave explored by <a
href="http://arge.itvd.uni-stuttgart.de/">Arbeitsgemeinschaft H&ouml;hle
und Karst Grabenstetten e.V.</a>. 142 contains a very large chamber,
imaginatively named <b>The Big Chamber</b> reached by a 34m pitch from a
point adjacent to the connection. A <a href="41/off41.htm#ent142">full
description</a> of 142 (but not 78) is one of the components of the
Stellerwegh&ouml;hle guidebook, just an overview is given here.
<p>Note: With apparent perversity, the Austrians have numbered this as 115e
in their Kataster. This is likely to give rise to immense confusion in the
long term as more caves are connected, and numbers on entrances cannot
readily be altered (owing to the obscurity of their location and
inaccessibility from within the system).
<p>After an initial small tube, the cave opens into passages very similar to
those in Schwabenschacht and the upper levels of Stellerwegh&ouml;hle.
Descent of some of the steep ramps to the right of the main way on may
provide further connections into the main cave (and one may have already done
so). However, staying high leads through tubes to an inobvious junction. Left
is the connection to 78, whilst right leads immediately to the head of a
pitch into the <b>Big Chamber</b> - a popular name in the system. A route
from this chamber leads to the foot of an 18m pitch in the entrance series of
<a href="41.htm">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle</a>, and a more obscure route through
boulders from the head of the Big Chamber pitch leads to the same place.

<p>NB. The above name is provisional, since its not really my prerogative to
name it, but it should have a name really.

<p><b>Location:</b> The Nipple, (aka "Wei&szlig;en Warze") E 36048.7 N (52)81489.0
<p>The square shaped entrance lies just below (22m vertically at 34m on
158&deg;) the nipple at the end of the ridge running SSW from Vorderer
Schwarzmooskogel. The first pitch starts after a short climb down boulders.
From here light may be seen entering from another entrance 143b. The pitch
of 20m lands on a small ledge and a short freeclimb leads to a traverse over
wedged blocks. The next pitch of 10m is rigged over the edge of the last of
these and brings one to a balcony at the start of a 23m shaft. Another
clean, almost circular shaft (19m) follows, to a climb of 6m down wedged
boulders. The passage now narrows to a small vadose canyon with a stream in
it, but soon turns vertical at an 8m pitch, followed quickly by one of 18m.
At the foot of this final shaft, the stream flows down a rift, approximately
10m deep, but too narrow to follow. Much hammering here achieved little
progress, but could be heard clearly in passages leading from above the Big
Pitch in <a href="41/41.htm#bigpitch">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle</a>.

<p>NB. This name is the 1983 provisional name, which was intended to be
scrapped. <b>Wei&szlig;e Wurze H&ouml;hle II</b> might be better, but this
cave really should have a proper name - after all, it was 284m deep before
the connection to the main system ! It appears in Austrian lists just as
Schwarzmooskogelschacht...
<p><b>Altitude:</b> 1711.8m.
<p><b>Location:</b> The Nipple, (aka "Wei&szlig;en Warze") E 36101.3 N (52)81514.9
<p>This is the highest entrance to Stellerwegh&ouml;hle found by CUCC, and a
full description is included in the Stellerwegh&ouml;hle
<a href="41/144.htm">guidebook description</a>, just an overview is given
here.
<p>A predominantly vertical entrance series leads to a level of extensive
fossil phreatic development, <b>not fully explored</b>. The main passage,
<b>The Yellow Brick Road</b>, leads to the lip of a 25m pitch into a large
muddy chamber. From the bottom, a steeply dipping tube is followed down
until a canyon is reached from a boulder chamber. Most ways close down
quickly from here.
<p>Across the pitch from Yellow Brick Road is a large continuing passage,
gained by an obscure and somewhat exposed route in boulders. It soon leads
to a bolted climb, but a ramp down below drops to another large passage.
Right here, the draught is followed through winding passage until it emerges
20m up in a chamber. Backtracking leads to a squeeze and muddy crawls to the
bottom, from where a canyon develops, finally dropping into
<a href="41/41.htm">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle</a> below the Big Pitch via a 10m
chimney.
<p>There are a significant number of unpushed leads in the cave, but all are
expected to connect back to already known passage.
One may provide a connection to the northernmost reaches of
<a href="78.htm">Schwabenschacht</a> (1623/78).

Schwarzmooskogel.)
<p>Number originally allocated to a cave which was not marked with a number,
and which was not relocated until 1988. Interestingly, the Austrians had this
as 2/T +, at 1700m, NW of Vorderer Schwarzmooskogel, and think CUCC explored
it to 60m long and 10m deep in 1984. This suggests a CUCC documentation
failure and probably a relocation failure, as the cave explored in 1988 was
very different...
<p>Horizontal walking entrance leads south to a descending passage and
junction. Down to right is a shorter but smaller route to the lower cave,
while ahead leads past a small choked passage on the right to the head of a
pitch. Across the pitch a smaller passage continues to a blind pitch where a
draught enters from the floor, and an even smaller continuing passage which
ends too small, also draughting.
<p>Down the main pitch, in a rift, is 10m to a boulder pile in a chamber
where the shorter route reenters, and a passage continues back north towards
the entrance. South is a rift ending too tight. The main way soon leads to a
pitch of 10m with a large ledge halfway. A short passage intersects a
cross-rift before becoming too small (with a draught), but down the rift
drops c15m to a choke at about -45m.
<p><b>Exploration:</b> CUCC 1988
<br><b>Survey:</b> Elevation and plan, 1988, unpublished ? Claims to be
grade 5b, but comment in 1988 logbook suggests that compass may have been
seriously deviated by use of a torch to illuminate it. Drawn up survey has

same scale. Surface survey to top of Vd. Schwarzmooskogel, 1994<br>

and 15m deep. Where is this information coming from, and why didn´t CUCC
record it for their own benefit too ?

logbook. Horizontal entrance leads under a shaft to surface and a 5m climb
down to a choke. Over the hole and left leads in a sandy tube to a traverse

<p>From 153, follow gully, keeping slightly left to end (10&deg; magnetic),
climb over ridge to left and continue with next gully into depression. Lower
entrance in bottom of depression, but this is not marked, on over next ridge
to find marked entrance.
<p>Loose pitch head gives onto 5m entrance pitch. A rift leads off but
quickly chokes, while a draughting slot could be dug, but is rather loose and
dangerous, so was left.
<p>This doesn't sound much like the 1985 log book description, which is of a
climb down in a rift below the survey mark into a chamber with daylight
entering in two or three places. There is another way out, though where this
is isn't mentioned, and the cave needed a rope to push further. However, the
1987 sketch does sound like this ! It is not clear whether the 1987 push
addressed the way out needing a rope - perhaps another look would be a
good idea, if a party is working in this area.

<p><b>Exploration:</b> CUCC 1987
<p>The <a href="../years/1987/log.htm">log book</a> refers to
exploration in the vicinity of 0/1 including 156 and a nearby cave
(unnumbered in 1987) <a href="199.htm">Tumbling Boulder Hole</a>. There is,
however, another piece of paper which says it is very near (and NE of) point
0/2. This appears to arise from the diagram which accompanies the log book
entry, which shows 0/2 with no north arrow, and uphill up the page. If the
point was really 0/1 on this diagram, then the descriptions would match, with
north at 7 O'Clock on the diagram. The logbook suggests that the discoverers
had visited 0/2 (and found very little nearby) and then 0/1 later, finding
156. GPS location and later a surface survey (1998) confirms that 0/1 is the
correct laser point.

(which is above gully containing <a href="../plateau/107.htm">Kat. 107</a>
and marked with an alloy tag stamped "LASER 0-5"). The cave was looked for
but not seen in a visit to this laser point in 1998. A second cave 100m from
0/5, uphill to the left, was not given a number because of evidence of
previous exploration, but should be investigated further.
<p>Entrance shaft of 50m until gap between snow and rock became too perilous
in 1987 - bottom still out of sight. About 25m below the karren, a rift
passage leads off from side of shaft into parallel shaft with aven. This
shaft is of unknown depth but has recent looking bolts of unknown origin. It
is just conceivable that these bolts are in 107, but far more likely that
the cave had been looked at by GSCB who were in the area on a reconnaissance
in 1986 (?) and more seriously in 1987..
<p>The second cave has a walk-in entrance, splitting just inside. The left
passage comes out below a shaft from the surface, and apparently continues
unexplored. The main passage reaches a 10m pitch, also below a surface
shaft, which drops into a chamber. To the left is a short passage to an
undescended pitch of about 10m, while to the right are three ways on. First
is a rift, then a passage with an ice floor, and finally, half back towards
the entrance, is a passage emerging below another surface shaft (passed on
the surface just before reaching the entrance). This final passage also
appeared to continue. Because a large carbide pig was found outside the
entrance, it was assumed that someone else was in the course of exploring
this cave.

<p><b>Altitude:</b> 1700m, Depth 128m (deepest surveyed point is -118m)
<p><b>Location:</b> 400m NNE of The Nipple <span lang=de>(Wei&szlig;en
Warze)</span> at the base of a wall to the left after passing a sandy
depression (walking from the Nipple).
<p>A body-width passage formed by a wall on the left and a large detached
slab on the right descends for about 5m at 45&deg;, with occasional glimpses
of daylight above. A cross passage is then encountered. To the right is
blocked after a few metres, but left descends to meet the base of the wall.
To the right here, a 20-22cm squeeze is passed by lying on one side. After
2m of further tight progress, the rift opens onto a drop. A steep tube
descends for about 12m to a small chamber and with care can be descended
free.
<p>From the chamber, the passage curves to the left and opens onto the head
of a 7m pitch, which drops onto a large ledge. A rebelay just over the lip of
the ledge at the left hand side gives a further 18m free-hanging pitch to a
landing on boulders several metres across, which appear to be jammed across
the shaft.
<p>A narrow rift around a corner stops at a drip and a small pool. The way on
is through a gap to a hole with a jammed block. Climbing down to the block
leads to the head of an 18m pitch which rapidly opens into a huge split-level
chamber. The pitch lands on <b>Big Bertha</b>, a boulder some 4m in diameter.
<p>To the north, a narrow rift has been followed for about 10m to a tight
vertical drop of at least 5m down the rift, but this has not been pushed.
East from Big Bertha leads to a 5m drop to the lower half of the chamber,
which is floored with loose rock. An archway to the left leads to a 7m pitch
to a small stream. This disappears down an impassable slot, but is met lower
in the cave.
<p>From the archway, a climb up behind a boulder propped against the side of
the chamber leads to a col. One side rapidly curves up to the roof. The other
ascends over very loose boulders for at least 25m (15m vertical) until the
roof is met. This area has not been exhaustively pushed, but seems unlikely
to lead anywhere.
<p>Descending the other side of the col gives a series of ledges via 5m, 7m
and 8m pitches, in a canyon some 5m wide and at least 15m high. The stream
enters at the bottom of the 7m pitch. Below, the rift continues down a
moderate slope and round a corner, with a final short 4m pitch to a soil and
rock floored chamber.
<p>A strong draught is felt around the edges of the chamber, rising from the
choked floor. It is possible to descend in loose boulders in a number of
places but all ways meet the roof and choke - pushing in this area is
dangerous and unpromising.
<p>Near the bottom of the previous pitch, a 5m deep circular pit in the floor
can be descended. This takes a large drip from the stream above. At the
bottom, a tight (22-26cm) rift leads on for 3m to a further 3m pitch to a
small chamber. An impassable passage continues, while a small window gives a
view of a widening beyond.

<p><a name="ent">Relocated</a> in 1996. From
main summit, drop down east to a bare limestone shelf. Follow this ~NE for
some way (c 200m) until a way down east again reaches a small group of
holes/shafts/rifts (CUCC 1997-07, Fallenlassenstuckschacht, 136c, 136b).
Cross this area south, initially keeping close below a small cliff to
your right. After passing 136b, 136a is a little off to the left (east) of
the cliff at the south end of the karren shelf. (See area map in NotKH survey
book p88-89). The entrance is in a depression and is
marked by, and under, a large (3m cubicish) boulder with a faint (in
1996) '136' painted on the S side, and a Tag.

<p>From Top Camp, proceed via the 161 approach up to the point
(immediately past 1623/147) where a short climb down through the bunde
drops onto a large, wide, grassy area perhaps 200m before reaching Vd1
and 30m higher. Cross the grassy patch, contouring around the hill and
then take the 3rd steep grassy bank up to the right, through some bunde
(this is not the most obvious slope). Climb up to the limestone shelf
above and then continue contouring around the hill at roughly the same
level for a further 300m to the entrance.
<p>1983 description is : shaft -194m. The bottom was reached in 1984, at
depths variously estimated -240m, -260m and -285m, when the rift became too
narrow. 1983 survey (which was never drawn up) only goes to -194m.

<p>The rope (60m used in 1997, though this is not generous) for the first
pitch is belayed to the 3m boulder. A short drop from the surface (c.3m)
leads to the top of a steeply inclined boulder slope which is also very
loose. The head of the main entrance pitch hang used to be immediately at the
foot of this slope, however it has now been rigged from the right hand wall,
out of the immediate line-of-fire from the boulder slope. A traverse line of
around 10m at 30&deg; is rigged on the right hand wall to reach the pitch
head. The main hang is around 35m almost free-hanging, but for a minor
deviation about 8m below the pitch head.
<p><center><a name="p1" href="l/jh97-7.htm">
<img alt="Photo - 38k" src="t/jh97-7.jpg" width=148 height=225 hspace=20></a>
</center>
<p>From the foot of the entrance pitch, a fairly narrow slot with a short
climb down (c 1m) connects to a large boulder-strewn chamber. This chamber is
entered from the top left corner (standing looking down the slope) and the
main way on is around 10m down the slope, under a very large boulder towards
the right hand wall. At the foot of the chamber are two large holes of around
5m depth, one in each corner. One of these holes has a spit above it,
suggesting it was descended in 1983/4, however no descent was made of either
hole in 1997. It is speculated that these may connect to the second pitch at
a lower point than that used as the pitch head in 1997.
<h4><a name="136p2">Second</a> Pitch</h4>
<p>Returning to the main route down, the head of the second pitch is a belay
point on the right hand wall of the chamber immediately above a very large
perched boulder at "floor" level. A 130m rope was initially used here, though
some spare was later cut off. Beware of apparently sound footholds here as
they have a habit of falling off down the next 70m or so of the pitch series!
A rebelay is required just below the take-off point on the boulder to avoid
rubbing the edge of the block on the way up. This rebelay is particularly
awkward on the way up since the rope tends to pull into the crack between
wall and boulder. The shaft continues down more or less vertically for a
further 3 rebelays (50m) until the first substantial ledge is reached. (A
deviation is required below the 3rd rebelay from the pitch head to avoid an
otherwise serious rub just below the rebelay bolt).
<p><center><a href="l/jh97-9.htm"><img alt="Photo - 55k"

<img alt="Photo - 60k" src="t/jh9711.jpg" width=150 height=225 hspace=20></a>
</center>
<p>From this ledge, a further pitch descends, rigged from two bolts on the
left hand wall with an immediate deviation off the right hand wall.
Traversing ahead over the pitch, it appears that there is a parallel shaft
visible through an eyehole in the left hand wall. It is believed that this is
the shaft described as being accessed by a "desperate step across" which was
descended in 1984 and found to reconnect to the wet route lower down.
<p>Descending from the ledge, a further substantial ledge is reached after
c8m. On the way up it is advisable to cower under the overhanging wall of
this ledge to avoid exposing yourself to rocks dislodged by people on the
pitch above - the pitch head is especially loose.
<h4><a name="3rdp">Third Pitch</a></h4>
<p>From the ledge an awkward take-off to an almost immediate rebelay leads to
a connection with a wet shaft - the main source of water below this point.
The hang is fortunately almost dry, aided by a very wide rebelay about 12m
below the ledge. A further 15m hang reaches another large ledge where water
continues through a large slot in the floor at the foot of the pitch. It is
at this point that the two routes diverge into <a href="#wetdream">Wet
Dreams</a> (the way explored in 1983/4) and the <b>Eyehole Route</b>.
<h3><a name="eyehole">Eyehole</a> Route
(<a href="../../years/1997/index.htm">1997</a>)</h3>
<p>The Eyehole Route is to-date the main route in 136, leading eventually to
the 1997 connection with the <a href="fbl136.htm">Forbidden Land</a> in 161,
and the 2&frac12;km <a href="chile.htm">Chile</a> series, found in 1999.
<p>The eyehole is reached by means of a traverse over the slot in the floor
(through which the water disappears) and is the obvious large hole on the
right. A short horizontal rift, with a steeply-inclined hole in the floor,
connects to the head of the fourth pitch series. This pitch series is about
30m of dry shaft, broken by three ledges and landing on a much larger ledge
with a couple of large boulders jammed in the exit rift. A 54m rope was
sufficient in 1997. From the foot of the fourth pitch, the head of the fifth
is only a few metres away over the jammed boulders.
<p><a name="pitch4">The head of</a> the fifth pitch does an extremely good
job of hiding the enormous cavern into which it breaks some 10m below. Do not
be mistaken into believing that the floor, as it appears, is only 5m below
your feet, nor that your light will be even remotely adequate for ensuring
maximum exposure on the multiple hanging rebelays below. The pitch
starts with a large Y-hang across the rift at the pitch head.

<p><a name="over5">An airy</a> traverse around the corner to the left
(<a href="../../fixaid.htm#over5">rigged rope</a>) leads eventually to the
<a href="#footlight">Footlights Traverse</a>. (The eyehole immediately
opposite the pitch head connects with the climb around to the left).
<p>Below the Y-hang is a large, mud-covered outcrop of rock, over which you
must traverse before proceeding further to a very wide deviation, hated by
those with short legs, just below the muddy "floor". A further 5m descent
leads to a smallish ledge with another rock outcrop to cross to a hanging
rebelay on the left-hand wall. This point is around 60m above the floor of
the chamber and is where the <a href="#thegods">Gods' Traverse</a> begins.
A 35m rope was sufficient to reach this point in 1997.
<p><a name="theatre">Continuing</a> straight down from the rebelay, first a
parallel shaft is reached and the wall of the chamber becomes convex,
requiring another hanging rebelay 21m below the last. A further 24m hang
drops to a boulder floor at the top of a huge chamber - <b>The Theatre</b>.
The landing point for the main route into the Theatre is at the top of the
steeply inclined floor.
<p><center><a href="l/jh9719.htm">
<img alt="Photo - 38k" src="t/jh9719.jpg" width=150 height=200 hspace=20></a></center>
<p><a name="orchestral">Standing</a> at this point, looking down the slope of
the floor, an opening at the bottom of the chamber of the left-hand wall
leads to the <b>Orchestral Pit</b>. From the foot of the chamber up a short
(c 8m) climb over mud and boulders and then up another (c 8m) climb on steep
rock, leads to a small opening. (The rope has been left
<a href="../../fixaid.htm#opit">permanently rigged</a> on this climb). On the
right hand wall at the foot of the chamber is a boulder choke through which
it is possible to climb down around 10m. No recommendable leads were found
here. Immediately behind the landing point and around 30m higher up the wall
is the connection to the <a href="fbl136.htm">Forbidden Land</a> (161) which
must be reached via the God's Traverse.
<p><a name="exitsl">Proceeding</a> up the 16m climb from the floor of
the Theatre, a narrow opening leads to a precarious climb down the other
side (c.5m) over the top of a large wedged boulder in a rift chamber, <b>Exit Stage Left</b>. There is an aven in the roof of this chamber, which can be
descended as a pitch (the 30m continuation of Plughole Pitch) from the end of
the <a href="#footlight">Footlights Traverse</a>. A second aven is reached by
a short (c 3m) climb up opposite the entry climb. A small window (too small
for human access) in the left hand wall of the chamber connects to the
undescended pitch accessible from the <a href="#plughole">rock bridge</a> 18m
down Plughole pitch, 26m above. Rocks can also be thrown in through a small
gap in the boulder floor. This pitch continues below this level.
<p>In the Orchestral Pit, a number of wet shafts connect from the ceiling in
addition to a number of dry avens. The dry avens nearest to the Forbidden
Land have been connected to an eyehole on the God's Traverse around 15m
above the connection to <a href="fbl136.htm#ealgor">Elin Algor</a>. The
floor of the Orchestral Pit has a number of pools and also a considerable
amount of brown powdery mud, similar to that found in the horizontal areas of
Kaninchenh&ouml;hle such as <a href="offffr.htm#mmudpie">Mississippi Mud
Pie</a>, <a href="triasp.htm#triasp">Triassic Park</a> etc. , of which
the majority of 136 is devoid. No leads were found in the Orchestral Pit.
<h3><a name="thegods">The Gods'</a> Traverse
(<a href="../../years/1997/index.htm">1997</a>)</h3>
<p>The earlier (and lower) of two impressive traverse routes off the fifth
pitch, The Gods' Traverse heads NE towards Kaninchenh&ouml;hle, to which
it eventually connects.
<p><a href="l/godst.htm"><img alt="Photo - 48k jpeg" width=150 height=200
align=left hspace=10 vspace=10 src="t/godst.jpg"></a>
<p>From the hanging rebelay 10m below the head of the 5th pitch (on Eyehole
Route), a short (4m) descent with a swing leads to a small muddy sloping
ledge, with precipitous drop. A bolt in the middle of the traverse "protects"
a caver who teeters around the ledge and up a short (c.2m) climb over a
corner bulge onto the main face of the traverse. This roughly horizontal
section is about 12m in length across a slab of limestone inclined at 70 - 80
&deg;. Should your lighting equipment allow, you will be able to admire the
enormous vertical rock-face which forms the opposite wall of the Theatre and
the precipitous drop to the floor 40+ metres below. Hand holds (barring the
rope) are non-existent on the second half of the traverse and most foot
ledges were of the disposable type (single use only), now long gone. At the
far end of the traverse a hanging rebelay just over the edge of the wall
leads, with a wide swing, to a large eyehole on the opposite wall. A short
(15m) pitch against the wall on the outside of the hole leads to a large
muddy sloping ledge at the back of which is a hole into narrow traversy
passage. This is the final impressive overlook reached in
<a href="fbl136.htm#ealgor">Elin Algor</a> from the Forbidden Land in
Kaninchenh&ouml;hle in 1996. The whole of the pitch - traverse - pitch
to this point was <a href="../../fixaid.htm#gods">left rigged</a>.
<p>Back through the eyehole, a couple of pitches lead eventually to the
Orchestral Pit.
<h3><a name="footlight">Fifth pitch and Footlights</a> Traverses
(<a href="../../years/1997/index.htm">1997</a>)</h3>
<p>The later traverse route off the fifth pitch (starting at the pitch
head, some 10m higher than the Gods'). This heads generally SW, and is
in two sections, split by a 16m pitch. The lower section is strictly
the Footlights traverse, but the name has been applied to the whole
route, causing some confusion.
<p>A short, unobvious (<a href="../../fixaid.htm#over5">roped</a>)
traverse, <b>Service Duct</b>, starts from the left hand side of the Y hang
at the head of the fifth pitch. It goes left round the corner into a
window, then climbs up 3m above a deep hole to a lip into a chamber with
a large hole in the steeply sloping floor that drops down near the start
of <a href="#thegods">Traverse of the Gods</a>. Traversing to the right
of this chamber, past an eyehole with a view back to the Y hang, a pitch (<b>Ventilation Shaft</b> p.16, 1 bolt rebelay, -5m) descends to the
<b>Box</b>, a platform with a fine view to the left across the Theatre to
the Gods' Traverse. Looking out and to the right from the Box is the
start of <b>Footlights Traverse</b>.
<p><a name="foottrav">This airy,</a> diagonal, section around and down the
south-western corner of the Theatre, 30m off the floor was <a
href="../../fixaid.htm#footl">left rigged</a> after the 1997 expedition, but
in 1999 was deemed easy enough to rig afresh on each expedition, so the rope
was taken off. Two bolt rebelays reach a Y hang, and descending from this a
window can be reached by an entertaining pendulum to reach a rift in the
wall. This window enters a choss-filled passage whose boulder floor is
apparently suspended above a void (traverse line recommended). An old
phreatic level was hypothesised to exist at a similar height to the
connection with Elin Algor, and this seems to correspond roughly to that
level, although at this point the morphology is a tall rift, passable at
various levels, with many windows, climbs and pitches, difficult to explore
exhaustively.
<p><a name="plughole">The passage</a> leads, after a 3m climb up and a 2m
climb down, to a narrow slot opening out into the spacious <b>Plughole
pitch</b> below, which drops 18m to a rock bridge.
<p>At the rock bridge the single shaft splits into three. An inlet enters
from an aven and goes down an undescended clean-washed shaft [99-xx A]. This
descends about 8m to a ledge where a slot drops at least 30m, past the choked
floor at the bottom of the Footlights pitch (determined by rocks thrown in
from two points below). This apparently does not connect (at least directly)
with the Orchestral Pit - rocks were not audible from there. The second of
the shafts is more like a 3m blind pit, of little interest.
<p>The third, and biggest, of the dry shafts is a further drop of 30 m (bolt,
tape deviation at -10m) and lands on the floor of
<a href="#exitsl">Exit Stage Left</a> (originally reached by the 16m climb up
from the Theatre).
<p>Across the rock bridge, over a few boulders and through a smallish
slot, is a short 5m pitch. This is the way on to
<a href="chile.htm">Chile</a>, 1999's major find.
<h3><a name="wetdream">Wet Dreams</a> (1983/4)</h3>
<p>Wet Dreams is the original route, explored first in 1983/4, but named in 1997 in memory of the anticipated connection with 161 by this route. In fact
no such connection has yet been found, but the shaft series has not yet been
bottomed and so it's still a possibility.
<p>Continuing from the foot of the <a href="#3rdp">third pitch</a> and
crossing the traverse to the point where the Eyehole Route diverges, a dry
hang is possible to the bottom of the rift down which the water disappears.
At the foot of this 15m pitch is a narrow rift, leading quickly to a further
12m pitch followed by another narrow rift to another pitch.
<p><a name="pfantasy">Around</a> the head of this pitch, <b>Phreatic
Fantasy</b> - so called because of the anticipated large sloping ramps
expected from a previous cave description - are a number of small, clean and
fairly uninteresting roof tubes, probably phreatic in origin. The shaft at
this point becomes roughly vertical and descends in a number of sections a
further surveyed 35m, becoming increasingly wet towards the bottom. From the
surveyed limit a further pitch of around 30m (estimated) can be seen
descending immediately below.
<h4>1983 rigging</h4>
<p>The split between Eyehole and Wet Dreams is about three quarters of the
way down what the 1983 description had as a broken shaft of c 100m. This was
in sections of 14m vertical, 24m sloping, 13m vertical to a ledge. Here a
desperate step across (worse on exit) attained a parallel shaft which
apparently connected back lower down. The main way dropped 9m sloping, 29m
vertical, to a 9m slope and a final 3m vertical to what is assumed to have
been the Phreatic Fantasy level - though the pitch lengths (mainly deduced
from survey data) don't correspond well with the 1997 experience and this may
be below the next pitch. 1983 figures put the next pitch as 17m sloping, then
15m vertical to a bolt at -194m, which may be a similar point to that reached
on this route in 1997, or not quite as deep.
<h4>1984 series</h4>
<p>A further drop is 5m to "a very bad bolt" and either 15m total, or a
further 15m from the bolt, to a spray lashed ledge with only one small alcove
in which to cower and brew up. A rift in the floor leads 6m to a rebelay and
a final 20-25m pitch into a chamber with two ways off. One was very tight to
an aven and small drop which stones indicate ends blind in mud floor after
c10m. The main way was a squeeze past a very large boulder, down a 10m pitch
to a stream which flows into the classic too-narrow draughting rift. Logbook
describes this as -260m, which fits with the non-existence of a 30m
"virtual" pitch which is believed to be the result of an ambiguity elsewhere
in the 1984 log book.

is apparently one write up by Becka for 6th August missing, although my
suspicion is that the "addendum" really refers to the 08.07 trip - there is
no 08.06 trip in the call-out book.

<p><a name="basement">The position</a> of the main entrance, on a ridge,
has protected it from the thermoclastic scree usually found blocking open
shaft entrances. The 37m, relatively free-hanging (deviation, rebelay at
-12(?)m, one more deviation) pitch reaches a small chamber,
<b>The Basement</b>, with four ways on.
<p>Most obvious is the <a href="offtop.htm#dungeonp">Dungeon Pitch</a>. A
stoop under an arch on the left hand (south) side of the chamber leads to the
<a href="offtop.htm#rabbitw">Rabbit Warren Series</a> and the connection to
<a href="france.htm#france">France</a>, <a href="offtop.htm#161b">161b</a>
and <a href="france.htm#161c">161c</a>. A third exit is through a 1m diameter
hole in the floor on the right. walking around the corner to the west reveals
the fourth way on to <a href="#bigsain">Big Sainsbury's</a>.
<p><center><a name="autodoors" href="l/autodr.htm"><img alt="Automatic Doors

alt="Automatic Doors from ledge" src="t/pitch2.jpg" width=165
height=121></a></center>
<br><center>Two views of the Automatic Doors pitch</center>
<p>The deepest parts of the system are reached through Big Sainsbury's, a
very large passage about 100m long and 10m diameter. This is reached by a 12m
pitch, <b>Automatic Doors</b>, down to a ledge, or optionally 20m down to the
boulder floor. The third way out of the entrance chamber comes out in the
wall around from Automatic Doors.
<h2><a name="bigsain">161 Kaninchenh&ouml;hle: Big Sainsbury's</a> (1988)</h2>
<p>At the foot of the boulder slope below <a href="#autodoors">Automatic
Doors</a> is a large hole to the left (top of Dungeon Rift) and a crawl
right, through boulders, to the <a href="#snotp">S'not</a>/
<a href="#snotp">Dewdrop</a> approach to the deep routes
(<a href="lhr.htm#lhroute">Left</a> and <a href="rhr.htm#rhroute">Right</a>).
From the pitch, <b>Big Sainsbury's</b> heads NW, initially uphill over large
boulders for 20m to the highest point. Continuing downhill, for 30m, there is
a 2m × 4m hole in the floor against the right hand wall. This is the start of
<a href="drunk.htm#dands">Drunk and Stupid</a>, a steeply descending rift
which goes down to -200m before connecting with the
<a href="lhr.htm#lhroute">Left Hand Route</a> at
<a href="offlhr.htm#fcp">French Connection Pitch</a>.
<p><center><a href="l/bsains.htm"><img src="t/bsains.jpg" width=158
height=124></a></center>
<p>20m beyond the entrance of Drunk &amp; Stupid is a pair of very high avens
with associated pitches. There is a traverse line along the left hand wall
which leads via a 5m drop to a col between the two drops. Along this traverse
is a passage in the left hand wall which goes for 25m before choking. The
first drop is <a href="#checkout">Checkout</a>, the original
approach to the deep routes, the second drop is
<a href="offtop.htm#ashopper">Alternative Shopper</a>.
<a href="dream.htm#dreamtime">Dreamtime</a> is the continuation of Big
Sainsbury's, and is reached via the col.
<h2><a name="snotp">S'not / Dewdrop</a> (1991)</h2>
<p>Discovered in 1991, <b>Dewdrop</b> is by far the fastest approach to the
deep routes. Downslope from the ledge at the foot of <a
href="#autodoors">Automatic Doors</a> leads to an obvious rift/hole. About 4m
down the climb into this hole, an unobvious crawl right through boulders
leads to the head of <b>S'not Pitch</b>. This is a 35m rift pitch with four
rebelays. The pitch lands in a joint-controlled high passage <b>Dewdrop</b>.
Following the graded (but loose) stones downhill via a sharp left leads to
easy passage. Dewdrop passes the <a name="lhrcamp">1989 Left Hand Route
campsite</a> and splits after 45m. The <a href="lhr.htm#lhroute">Left Hand
Route</a> is reached in another 10m at <b>Dewdrop Junction</b> by either way,
the left passage having rocks in it, the right passage being a bit smaller.
<p><center><a href="l/dewdrp.htm"><img alt="Dewdrop Junction photo"
src="t/dewdrp.jpg" width=174 height=118></a></center>
<p>The Left Hand Route at this point is a keyhole passage, to the right
(east) leading further into LHR. The terminology is confusing at this point
simply because the original way into the Left and Right Hand Routes came in
from the other side at a different point ! To the left (NNW) is a zig-zagging
keyhole passage. This shortly leads to a hole in the floor, (<a
href="lhr.htm#gparty">Garden Party</a>), with bolts either side for a
traverse line. Left Hand Route changes to an inclined rift, passing below the
climb up into <a href="offlhr.htm#cowboy">Cowboy Caver</a>. A traversy climb
down leads to a junction, where right leads to the foot of <a
href="#beckaf">Becka Falls</a>, on the original route from the
surface. Straight on is the <a href="rhr.htm#rhroute">Right Hand Route</a>.
<hr>
<h3><a name="checkout">Checkout to the Squeeze</a> (1988)</h3>
<p>The original way to reach the deep routes, now generally bypassed via
<a href="#snotp">Dewdrop</a>, or by <a
href="dream.htm#dreamtime">Dreamtime</a> for the RHR. <b>Checkout</b> is a
10m pitch (rigged to avoid a very unstable boulder slope) leading to a
further 26m pitch in an inclined rift, <a name="lbowels"><b>Loose
Bowels</b></a>. The head of this is known as <a name="deathdoor"><b>Death's
Door</b></a>. This is followed by a free-climbable rift, <a
name="riftsn"><b>Rift Sans Nom</b></a>.
<p><center><a href="l/squeez.htm"><img alt="Squeeze Photo" src="t/squeez.jpg"
width=122 height=181></a></center>
<p><a name="squeeze">The foot</a> of Rift Sans Nom reaches a very tight
hammered squeeze, <b>The Squeeze</b> (aka Beer Belly
Blues), at the top of an 8m pitch, <a name="beckaf"><b>Becka Falls</b></a>.
The rift enlarges below the pitch and merges with another, entering a huge
phreatic passage, at -118m from entrance 161a. This gives the two possible
ways on, the <a href="lhr.htm#lhroute">Left Hand Route</a> to the left (north
east), and the <a href="rhr.htm#rhroute">Right Hand Route</a> to the right
(south west) - named from this junction.

<h2><a name="start">Entry</a> from Steinschlagschacht</h2>
<p>At the rock bridge 18m down <a href="136.htm#plughole">Plughole Pitch</a>
in Steinschlagschacht, ignore further descents and cross the rock bridge.
Over a few boulders and through a smallish slot, is a short (5m) pitch.
<h3><a name="oatso">Oatso Simple</a></h3>
<p>At the foot of the 5m pitch is a fair sized chamber with a large
selection of holes in the floor, all of which have audible (and falling
rock) connections with the chamber at the bottom of the final Footlights
pitch or the adjacent aven. None has been descended - it is conceivable,
although perhaps not very likely, that other interesting routes may
connect part way down these holes. A muddy slope/climb down leads from
the nearest corner of the chamber, which after about 10m or so intersects
a rift. Unfortunately the rift itself is too tight to the left and full
of mud to the right. Just back from the connection to the rift, high up
on the right hand wall of the climb down, is a steep upward mud slope to
a small unexplored tube with no draught [C1999-136-xx C].
<p>Back in the chamber, the way on is a lined traverse across large and
loose boulders to the opposite corner, where there is a large horizontal
tube with a mud floor.
<!-- Wookey -->
<p>This passage is very cold due to the sizeable gale blowing down it, (which
seems to come out the last hole in the floor (end of the traverse), as there
is much less wind in the earlier passage). Easy walking for 20m soon
degenerates into hading rift with a very irregular floor. The awkward parts
are lined. The annoying 3m hole in the floor is rigged as a pitch with a
pendulum on and a pendulum off! At this point the floor drops away steeply to
the left down ~25m (only partially descended) to the northern tip of
<a href="#oshoot">the Overshoot.</a> Oatso Simple continues with an easy
lined traverse along the right hand wall for 20m then a 30 degree mud/boulder
slope beyond to the top of a 7m inclined face. The obvious way on down this
7m pitch reaches <b>Windy Bottom.</b> However the main way on is a climb down
on the left (somewhat unobvious) for 3m, then ducking under a low roof to
emerge in <b>The OverShoot</b> - the huge passage visible from the traverse
above.
<h3><a name="windyb">Windy Bottom</a></h3>
<!-- JulianH -->
<p>The 7m pitch to the right lands in a fairly large and pretty chamber with
mostly clean walls and a smooth mud floor. Continuing around to the right
leads to a 3m pitch into the bottom of a very wet (when raining) aven,
<b>Windy Bottom.</b> Above the head of this pitch are cauliflower-like
formations. It's also very cold! This aven is enormous - a 10W light is
insufficient to see the top. The foot of the aven is around 8m in
diameter with the walls rising approximately vertically, clean washed.
There are no ways out at the bottom, except for the all too familiar
small too-tight slot through which an unfeasible amount of water
disappears.
<h3><a name="oshoot">The Overshoot</a></h3>
<P>High ~8-10m wide hading fault/joint-controlled passage going directly SW.
There is a taped route along here making much of this description
superfluous 'follow the tape to an eyehole into Lost in Space' would
suffice for most trips :-)
<p>From the duckunder at the end of Oatso Simple, a large hading rift is
entered, with a couple of massive boulders in the middle. NE the passage
goes back to the foot of the pitch down from Oatso Simple, but the main
way lies to the SW, starting with a 4m 'slippery slope'. 35m on (just
before the passage opens out) is a 10m climb up to the left [C1999-136-xx B
overshoot.1.9], which also seems to connect (lights shone through) with a
similar 8m climb after it opens out, [overshoot.1.11].
<!-- Overshoot pt II, Wookey + Becka -->
<P>The passage widens to about 15m for a bit to create a large, high, open
area with a rising pile of boulders ahead. The route on is up by the left
hand wall. Behind the biggest rocks on the right hand side at the foot of the
boulder pile wall is a B grade question mark [C1999-136-xx, overshoot.2.5] that is
likely to just go through interstices in the boulders - but someone needs to
check. High on the right wall is an inaccessible passage [C1999-136-xx C (or maybe
aven?), overshoot.2.5]
<P>Over the boulder pile, the descent is on the right hand side. The obvious
way on ahead on the right hand side dead-ends at the foot of a 4m wall in the
passage. To avoid this, climb up a sandy slope left immediately and climb the
wall at a cleft by the left hand wall. Just here on the left is the entry to
<b>Breeze Through.</b> Easy progress for 20m reaches a 2m climb where a large
block interrupts the passage. Going down below it (on the right) leads into
<a href="#ushoot">Undershoot.</a> About 10m beyond on the left is the climb
into <b>Breeze Block.</b> At this point you can also climb down under the big
slab that is the passage floor to reach Undershoot again.
<P><a name="bullseye">Ahead, the</a> route climbs steeply up a large boulder
pile/run-in (there is a possible QM at he top of an exposed 5m climb on the
left), until the roof is reached as it levels off. 15m of stooping progress
leads to the stunning eyehole view into <a href="#lost1">Lost in Space.</a>
The eyehole is called <b>Bull's Eye.</b> You can climb through boulders up to
the left here, which leads to a bridge dropping into a small chamber with a
further small chamber immediately connected. In this area, there are several
airy avens above, but no obvious way on at floor level.
<h3><a name="ushoot">The Undershoot</a></h3>
<!-- by Wookey -->
<p>Climbing under one of the boulders in The Overshoot reaches an awkward,
sloping 10m pitch, reminiscent of <a href="rhr.htm#poxyp">Bungalow</a> (2
bolts on right, one rebelay bolt on boulder on left at -4m). At the foot is a
largely flat area with rocks sloping up to the left wall. There are some nice
mud formations here. To the right (across the mud) is a crack in the wall
(from which a tiny dribble issues) and a slope up to a window into an active
wet inlet. The water falls from the usual tight streamway above and goes down
a crack in the floor.
<P>Ahead, (SW) there is a deep hole through boulders hidden behind a block on
the right hand side [C1999-136-W2 B]. At the end, the passage is choked
although 5m more progress can be made via a slot in the floor below. This is
probably all part of the same huge run-in you climb over above in the
Overshoot to reach the top of Lost in Space.
<h3><a name="breezeb">Breeze Block</a></h3>
<!-- by Wookey -->
<p>A 7m climb up the left hand wall of The Overshoot just opposite the start
of the Undershoot leads into a narrow crossrift with a strong breeze coming
out of it. Some of the draught appears to come out of a narrow, largely
inaccessible, slot in the roof. 12m along the crossrift another rift parallel
to The Overshoot is reached. A 13m pitch descends here. (Huge thread back in
cross-rift, Bolt right hand side). Climbing up steeply to the left (NE)
reaches apparently continuing passage totally blocked by glacial infill.
Downwards the passage narrows and continues through a 'point crawl' to where
the rift goes straight down, now only 0.5m wide. The first few metres are
easily freeclimbable, but in fact this is the top of a 32m pitch, which jigs
back under the way you came 10m down (bolt rebelay) for a nice 22m hang in
wide rift. Breeze Through comes out 10m off the floor at the NE end of of
this rift, although no-one has actually passed from one to the other - it
probably needs a pitch rigging from the Breeze Through end.
<P>At the bottom you can go about 10m Northish over a sand-pile to where an
occasional (maybe now defunct?) stream disappears down a crack. The rest of
Breeze Through is the other way. A c3 leads through a narrow point to the
next 'section' of rift, also connected by a window 10m above. A very small
inlet (too tight after 5m) comes in on the NW wall here. Next is a difficult
c4 up onto a large boulder (the nose of a pile). The rift widens considerably
into a sizeable chamber, <b>Breeze Block Central</b>, with a pair of very
high avens going off (30m+, one main, wide, one and a parallel narrow one
(~2m)). The floor is boulders sloping up to the SW, with a 'sand bar'
dividing it into 2 halves. There are 3 ways out. A narrow rift in the top
left hand corner, another rift at the top of the sand bar, and a window lower
in the right hand corner, behind the sand bar. The second two of these lead
to the same place. The narrow aven can also only be seen from near the middle
'sandbar' exit.
<P>The narrow rift exit is a tricky 6m climb down (stick near the roof for
the lower half) to look out into the foot of another large, wet aven with
a very flat floor (silty pool and some rocks). The draught comes from here.
Another tricky c4 round a column and down to the right gains the floor. The
stream here disappears down typical person-sized immature streamway (explored
for half a body length :-) ) The water and draught comes in ~30m above.
<P>Back in Breeze Block Central the eyehole exit looks out on a 15m pitch
(bolt in roof and another on far side of flake opposite). The middle Breeze
Block Central rift comes in 4m higher on the left and the rift continues up
to the right - possibly climbable. This may then become the narrow rift
visible from Breeze Block Central, but it's hard to tell. At the foot of the
pitch it is choked.
<h3><a name="lost1">Lost in Space I</a>: The main chamber</h3>
<!-- by Wookey and Becka -->
<h4>Summary</h4>
<p>A very large chamber developed on the same fault/joint as the Overshoot.
At the top it is possible to see the 4m or so of choss still in the
'gap'. It contains 3 huge holes in the floor, several smaller pitches and
the main way on is over the top of the boulder pile which forms its
southern end.
<h4>Trade route</h4>
<p>From the eyehole entry, Bull's Eye, descend steeply, keeping near the
RH wall by following the taped path heading down and to the right of the
eyehole. This avoids the shit slope leading ~30m into a deep hole
directly ahead of the eyehole. Towards the foot of this slope you can get
near the edge of the pair of large oval (6m x 10m) holes on the L [C1999-136-xx
B,lostinspace.1.3; C1999-136-xx B, lostinspace.1.4]. The first hole has a small
stream falling from the roof some 20m above. The holes are surrounded by
sloping choss so it is difficult to see what is at the bottom.
<P>The way on following the taped path heads downslope through boulders
and reaches a 'soil col'. To the left are large blocks with a hole
between them, descending 10-20m, possibly just into the bottom of the
boulders. [C1999-136-xx B, lostinspace.1.5]. Beyond that, in the far wall of the
chamber, is a funnelling rectangular pitch, 3m x 2m of maybe 15m [C1999-136-xx
B, lostinspace.1.6].
<P>Beyond the soil col, the floor and roof both descend with the hade at
about 30 degrees to the bottom of the chamber. Ahead to the SW is a huge
complex boulder pile.
<P>The best way on (to avoid traipsing to the bottom where the taped route
ends, then climbing back up out again), is to cross the chamber to the
far wall by walking along the top of a soil ridge which leads off left
from a boulder on the taped route with the slope down to the base of the
chamber on the right (the taped route goes down this slope) and a pitch
on the left. At the end of the soil ridge, traverse mainly along and a
little up around some large boulders to go between two large boulders
along the wall of the chamber (about the third pair of boulders you come
to as you traverse) to reach a small 'chamber' entirely made up of large
wedged boulders. [If you start going between tight or loose boulders or
you are high off the floor you are wrong! There is a straightforward,
stable and quite roomy route through, with no need for climbing]. Now see
<a href="#lost2">Lost in Space II.</a>
<h4>Lower half/Original route</h4>
<p>The original route descended the soil slope (taped) as far as the toe of
one of the largest boulders, then climbed upslope to the left behind
this, then over some more rocks (passing the Pit of Damnation below to
the right) to a point where another 14m long block forms a 4m high wall ahead
with an obvious walk-in hole underneath. From here the way on is upslope
and through this hole into the 'chamber' of wedged boulders described
above. You can also climb steeply down to the right to reach the lower
'lobe' of Lost in Space heading 30m on to the SW.
<P>From the foot of the soil slope, the huge Pit of Damnation (surrounded by
hanging death on soil) opens up on the left. You can walk round to the right
of it to reach a 4m climb up clean-washed boulders towards the sound of
water. There is a small damp pitch on the R here [C1999-136-xx B,
lostinspace.1.8], and just beyond you realise you are now on jammed
boulders over a big wet rift - almost certainly the same rift reached via
Pit of Damnation.
<P>The lower lobe parallels 'Lost in Space II' above, for ~30m until it
apparently chokes. In fact, a horrible 4m chossy climb behind you leads
into the middle of the Lost in Space boulder pile, overlooking the huge
pitch/space inside the pile. Traversing to the right and more climbing
comes out at the top of the pile in Lost In Space II.
<h4><a name="lostbp">The Lost in Space boulder pile</a></h4>
<p>The routes through the 'boulder pile' to Lost in Space II are many and
varied - the original explorers spent hours shouting "where are you?" and
"how did you get there?" at each other from various points within and
around it. There is the one easy walking route that comes out on the top,
described above (via two different approaches) and in 'Lost in Space II',
below, and another that involves a bit of a squeeze. There are several
that involve traversing past horrible sloping drops. Some of the
'boulders' jammed in the passage are so huge that roomy chambers and deep
pitches are formed beneath and between them, the most obvious being a
pitch about 20m deep and 10m wide, accessible from several points in the
pile, leading to a boulder-walled chamber with no draft and no obvious
way on. It is possible to reach the far end of Lost in Space II avoiding
the upclimb altogether by dint of devious and chossy climbs, both at this
top level, and from below.
<h3><a name="lost2">Lost in Space II:</a> The continuation</h3>
<p>Go down and up to the far side of the small 'chamber' entirely made up of
large wedged boulders reached by whatever means from Lost in Space I. Duck
under the boulder roof, and you emerge into a large passageway (almost as
large as the Overshoot) with a solid roof and walls but a wedged boulder
floor. This is the SW end of Lost in Space. The way on to the deeper areas of
Chile is up a short (around 4m) and awkward sloping climb over a large,
steeply inclined boulder (a short rope with two slings was left rigged;
various attempts at improving this rig failed). Before the 3m up-climb, at
the NE end of the top of the rock pile is a damp-sounding pitch in LH wall
[C1999-136-xx B]. After the up-climb, climb down between two boulders (care the
undescended drop on the left; [C1999-136-xx C, lostinspace.2.6] and follow the
large passage until it abruptly ends, around 25m after the up-climb.
There are two ways on from this point.
<h3><a name="lost2left">The Left Route</a></h3>
<!-- by Becka -->
<p>From the end of the large passage, a small drop of around 4m in the far
left corner (rigged off a spit on the end wall of the main passage and a
deviation off the left wall) leads to a 3m wide walking passage which
turns left (the hole high in the left wall just before the corner rejoins
the passage around the corner, though there is a possibility of a further
passage leading off from it. [C1999-136-xx C] and shortly reaches a large,
draughting, steeply sloping aven. A further short drop (around 4m, with a
natural backup and at least 2 pitch-head spits) lands on a wedged
boulder. It is possible to descend further here by squeezing between
these boulders but it is easier and safer to follow the route described
here, which goes to the same point. The rope from the pitch can be used
to rig a traverse line (not essential) for the horizontal traverse ahead
on the right for about 5m (use the natural on the right wall).
<p>The best route is then to use the left hole above waist height to
descend. This is more constricted but less exposed than the route down
the ramp straight ahead. Again, a handline is nice but not necessary.
More naturals are available at the 'bridge' at the bottom of the left
ramp (around 5m down). Straight ahead of the bridge and at the same
level, a small and very muddy inlet comes in from around 4m up the wall.
This is likely to be choked but the steep and slippy mud banks meant that
it was not checked [C1999-136-xx C]. To the right of the bridge, a window
looks into a deep shaft. This is the same shaft as is bottomed by
continuing down the ramp, by descending to the left from the bridge
(using a rope rigged off naturals) and then taking the left tube (steeply
sloping, a rope is very useful). [The right drop at the base of the ramp
leads down to a small chamber which is choked]. The left tube goes to the
base of a large shaft which is roomy, clean-washed, sharp and wet. Some
tight and unpromising rifts lead off right at the bottom [C1999-136-xx C].
<h3><a name="lost3">Lost in Space III:</a> Andy's pitch to Steady Aim pitch</h3>
<!-- by Becka -->
<p>From the right wall of Lost in Space II, around 3m before it ends, a
short, 10m pitch is rigged from two pitch-head spits followed by a
rebelay spit and then a deviation spit
[<a href="../../years/1999/log.htm#log6img">logbook sketch</a> shows two
pitch-head spits, then a 5m drop to a rebelay, passing an unused bolt
partway. Comments suggest using the bolt partway, then using the next bolt as
a deviation. A further drop is guesstimated at 20m]. This lands on a steeply
sloping, bouldered floor in a reasonably large chamber. Head down the slope
of the chamber. [About halfway down, a traverse up and to the left leads to a
small, short section of walking passage on the left and then a pitch. This
was not descended but was Grade 1 surveyed and almost certainly links in to
the shafts at the bottom of the Left Route]. Towards the bottom of the
chamber is a large boulder (survey station on top). Go to the left of it and
to the bottom of the chamber. Here, a 30m pitch, <b>Steady Aim,</b> is rigged
off a boulder natural and two pitch-head spits followed by a drilled
deviation [bolted deviation shown in log sketch] around 5m down. This lands
in a high passage heading left. This is narrower than the preceding Lost in
Space passage - around 5m.
<p>Ahead, on the far wall, water drops down between the boulders with a
possible way on. Heading left down the passage, which has a wedged
boulder floor, the passage drops quite steeply and soon comes to a large
boulder wedged around 4m above the passage floor. Climb down to the floor
by bridging down by the left wall, just back from the edge of this final
wedged boulder (carbide arrow on the wall) then doubling back under
yourself (care, loose rocks) to emerge by another carbide arrow pointing
the way back up. The climb is not tight but the upper part is awkward and
airy with tackle and the lower part is loose. The passage continues,
dropping down, then the main way follows down around the left corner.
<p>Ahead, the passage rises up steeply. The hole in the left wall is a
shallow alcove and the passage high and to the right ends in a mud choke.
The way on is an awkward clamber either on the left or ahead, then
traverse left (more exposed but more solid than the direct left route).
This leads to the bottom of a very steep rift. The lower section is
easily free-climbable. There is a spit protecting the crux section and a
fixed rope left rigged from a point around 25m up the rift, rigged off
two spits. The rift continues up as two roof tubes (probably
interconnected), with a strong draught blowing out of the tubes and some
lovely white helictites on the left wall. This needs a drill and dynamic
rope to push, but is an interesting site [C1999-136-xx B].
<p>The main way on follows the passage down around the left turn as it
continues to drop down steeply for a further 20m. At the base of this
ramp, the passage closes down considerably, but narrow rift passage can
be seen continuing at the base of the ramp. To reach this rift passage,
go to the right of the ramp then double back to the left - it is tight,
awkward and loose to go straight ahead. It is fairly tight and loose to
the right! (An unascended ramp leads off and up to the right from the
base of the ramp, with loose boulders perched in it [C1999-136-xx C]). The
rift passage is fairly narrow and sharp with loose rocks in it. Initially
it continues to drop down. A muddy tube leads off to the left, rapidly
becoming very muddy and ends in a squeeze through to a mud sump,
difficult to reverse! The main passage soon comes to a T-junction with a
largely horizontal passage running to the left and right. There is a
strong draught throughout these lower passages.
<h3><a name="runnyb">Runny Bottom</a></h3>
<p>The passage on the right continues to drop down, but now rather gently,
with a very strong draught. Small pools of water appear in the floor. After
around 30m a small waterfall comes in from an aven on the right, which has
been ascended part way (about 6m - nothing obviously of interest). The narrow
rift passage continues straight until it becomes blocked by rocks. The
blockage is tightly packed sand and gravel. The passage appears to continue
over the top of this, say 4m up. At this point a low crawl with 10cm of water
in the bottom leads off at the base of the left wall. The crawl goes on quite
a distance, gradually becoming less pleasant [C1999-136-xx C]. However, shortly
after the crawl starts you can climb up and out to the right, to get back
into the rift passage which you have just left, but now on the other side of
the infill. This is possibly a traverse which probably needs a rope. There is
some draught at this point [C1999-136-xx B].
<h3><a name="carpet">Carpetworld</a> leading to Totality</h3>
<p>The passage on the left is a beautifully shaped phreatic tube, which
heads upwards gently. It is easy walking with mud and pebble banks in the
floor and a clear draught, though not as strong as in Runny Bottom. The
roof fossils are particularly large, protruding and well-formed, hence
Carpetworld.
<p><a name="pdash">After 30m,</a> the tube opens on a lovely, solid, spacious
30m pitch, <b>Pebble Dash,</b> rigged via a traverse line to a ledge on the
far side of the pitch (several bolts) and then two pitch head bolts. This is
the last large pitch, and is followed by a series of short, dry pitches which
drop down a dry canyon at the base of a high, fairly narrow rift. The first
pitch, <b>Utterly Butterly,</b> is around 5m and is rigged off the right wall
(only around 3m to the floor down the slot on the left side). Three further
pitches follow, first 7m, the second, <b>Shakedown Street,</b> being 5m,
tight and awkward, with an unavoidable rope rub. these are rigged on spits
backed up to the previous rope. The last of these pitches, of 10m, rigged
from a spit and a sling, lands in a medium-sized spray-filled chamber.
<p><a name="natborns">A quite tight</a> and sharp rift leads off from the
opposite side of the chamber. This is straightforward if negotiated at the
right height (not on the floor). The floor eventually drops down and the last
pitch, <b>Natural Born Slingers,</b> was rigged from a boulder back-up and a
dodgy natural, over a boulder jammed in the rift. This drops a final 5m, to
land in attractive walking passage with a stream (small, but definitely a
proper, flowing stream - something like Simpsons?) entering from the roof
after 10m. The stream passage continues for a further 30m and ends in a dark
and sinister sump pool. This was a flooded shaft around 3m diameter, with no
obvious passage continuing above the surface. The sump is <b>Totality</b>, at
-435m.

<h2>161 Kaninchenh&ouml;hle: beyond Carrefour</h2>
<h2>YAPATE Inlet / Chicken Flied Nice - deep routes</h2>
<h3><a name="flapjack">Flapjack</a> (1989)</h3>
<p>Turning SSW (away from YAPATE) at
<a href="sibria.htm#carrefour">Carrefour</a> leads past a window into
Waterfall Chamber to the lip of <b>Flapjack</b>. The far side can also be
reached from <a href="offkns.htm#olympus">Olympus</a>.
<p><a href="l/fjack.htm"><img src="t/fjack.jpg" width=113
height=183></a>&nbsp; &nbsp;A pitch in Flapjack/Flapjack II
<p>This large pitch initially leads straight down 30m in a wide shaft to a
series of ledges. Dropping a further 29m pitch, to the NW, enters a rift
passage. To the left (SW), from a ledge, is a tight rift going off 10m to
<a href="#fj2"><b>Flapjack II</b></a>. To the right (NE) is a large and more
obvious way down steps to a 28m wet pitch.
<p><a name="bcorner">At</a> the bottom of the wet pitch, the water goes down
an 8m rift but this is crossed over using a traverse line, continuing over a
2m climb into a small sandy chamber, <b>Bat Corner</b>. A route carefully
avoiding the bat skeleton on the floor leads to a traverse along a 1m wide
rift. A 25m narrow rift pitch can now be descended, dropping out into a big
shaft, with the water falling down the opposite end of it.
<p><a name="bdroppings">This</a> lovely freehang, <b>Bat Droppings</b>, is
36m long and lands in the active stream at the bottom. This cuts down quickly
until it disappears into a very tight rift, <a name="beehivef"><b>The
Beehive</b></a> (not to be confused with <a
href="farnth.htm#beehiver">Beehive</a> beyond Repton :-).
<p><a name="bottom">Five</a> metres off the floor the rift is wide enough for
cavers until a very tight pitch descends 8m to a small chamber where all the
water goes through a 0.5m diameter hole in the floor. Passing through this
leads to a very wet, steeply descending rift and 15m along at the end of this
is a ridiculously wet 32m pitch to a vertical sump, which is at least a
couple of metres deep. <b>The Bottom at -498m</b> (though for ages the
'traditional' figure was -499.85m) !
<p><a href="300dpi/yapate.png"><img alt="survey - 20k gif" width=640
height=500 src="inline/yapate.gif"></a>
<h3><a name="fj2">Flapjack II</a> (1990)</h3>
<p><a name="nyg1st">At the</a> back of the rather convenient ledge near
the bottom of the second (29m) section of Flapjack Pitch, a narrow rift leads
off via two small pitches of 7m and 7m to a small chamber with water entering
in one corner. The continuation of the rift, <b>No, You Go First</b>, is more
complex with different levels (guide string remains) and an awkward last
right hand corner. Rift leads to the top of an 8m pitch into a larger
chamber.
<p><a name="tmts">The character</a> of the cave changes as the chamber opens
into a 100m pitch, <b>Too Much, Too Soon</b>. Traverse to right and up to
reach a Y-hang. The first 42m hang free, and a big ledge is reached at
65­70m, followed by a further ledge 10m down. From here a final rebelay gives
a 20­25m hang down the last section.
<p><a name="splatd">The lower part</a> of the pitch is in 5m diameter
phreatic riser to land on a squelchy muddy floor, <b>Splatdown</b>. Opposite
the landing point is a small tube leading to a 3m climb. A 6m climb follows
down to a small chamber from which an impenetrable fissure drops 8 to 10m to
water.
<p><center><a href="l/bottom.htm"><img src="t/bottom.jpg" width=141

<h3><a name="fbs">Flat Battery</a> (1990)</h3>
<p>Flat Battery series consists of a succession of pitches from ledge to
ledge down to a complex phreatic level where the way on is blocked by sand.
<p><a name="scircuit">30m back</a> from the 'end' of YAPATE Inlet (at <a
href="#goboy">Gob on You</a>), is a sandy slope up to a straight rift forking
off on the right. This apparently ends quickly in a narrowing climb, but
ducking under the right hand wall, down a slope and over a boulder which
'obviously' blocks the passage, leads to a small chamber. There is a
floor-level dead-end flat-out crawl ahead, a steep passage up (the way on) to
the left and a tiny roof tube, <b>Short Circuit</b>, which also connects to
the way on but is impassable.
<p>The passage comes out at a double pitch head (two holes leading to the
same place). Above is more shaft, the top of which can be reached by a climb
back in YAPATE, and an audible connection to the approach rift.
<p><a name="oldhamp">Down</a> the damp 25m <b>Oldham Pitch</b> is a stream
rift to a 6m pitch, <a name="pp3"><b>PP3</b></a>, with a tight takeoff. At
the foot of this is a hole down (into which the water disappears off left)
and a squeeze along a rift to the right. Through the hole is a 3&frac12;m
climb, <a name="neverr"><b>Never Ready</b></a>, to a damp view along a
too­tight rift.
<p><a name="aa">The</a> first squeeze is '<b>AA</b>' (<b>Double A</b>) and 1m
beyond it is another, <a name="aaa">'<b>AAA</b>'</a> (<b>Triple A</b>),
which is great fun, especially with tackle, as it is angled down to the head
of <a name="nife"><b>NiFe</b></a>, a 13m pitch.
<p><a name="jackpot">The rift</a> becomes much bigger beyond NiFe and across
the ledge is a 13m pitch, <b>Jackpot</b>, leading via another ledge to
<a name="ffpf"><b>Fifty Francis' Phreatic Freehang</b></a>, a stunning 40m
free pitch. At the foot of this is a 2m climb up to the continuation, which
can be seen through a hole, <a name="maudsw"><b>Maud's Window</b></a>, in a
rock arch, <a name="tmbridge"><b>The Mathematical Bridge</b></a>, at the foot
of a further 3m climb down from where FFPF lands.
<p><a name="elevel">The continuation</a> is yet another pitch of 15m with a
space off to the right which connects with Ariadne's Aven below. At the
bottom of the pitch is a 1m diameter hole onto a final 8m pitch, <a
name="fx2"><b>FX2</b></a>, to the phreatic level, <b>Electrolyte Level</b>.
<p><a name="ariadnesa">To the left</a> of FX2 is a pair of high avens,
<b>Ariadne's Aven</b>, with a beautiful pocked and pebbled floor. At the back
of the aven is a 4m climb to nothing very exciting. To the right is a 2m
sandy climb to a roped traverse around a 10m long by 4m deep hole.
<p><a name="cgrater">Near the</a> foot of FX2, the passage cuts down below
the sand and rock floor. It is easy to climb down into this, but it soon
becomes sufficiently tight to require removal of SRT gear. Following this
tortuous passage through a small choke leads back out into the main passage
at the bottom of the traverse hole. The obvious way on at the bottom of the
hole is blocked by a <b>Cheesegrater</b> type formation of a whole lot of
holes in a rock barrier.
<p><a name="labyrinth">The</a> <b>Labyrinth</b>. In the right hand wall
of the hole is a 1.5m x 0.5m passage. This also soon requires gear removal,
being both small and possessed of a couple of athletic bits. After about 30m
it crosses an even more ridiculous passage which could possibly be followed
if this was Mendip. Beyond this there are several zigzags of slightly uphill
flat-out crawling culminating in a nasty duck which can be baled to make it
less awful. Beyond it is a fork with a difficult skydive (Quaking-style) 3m
climb/pitch to the left into what looks like larger passage [<a
href="qmtodo.htm#C1990-161-12" name="qC1990-161-12">C1990-161-12</a> C]. This would require some
rigging to reascend. There is a probable (faint) audible connection back to
the main part of Electrolytic level from here.
<p>Back in the main level, crossing the traverse leads to 30m of pleasant
sandy passage about 3m diameter. Halfway along is a small, blind, bellshaped
pitch (p4). At the end is a remarkable false mud floor on the right which
must be avoided as you will drop 10m if it gives way. A 10m pitch can be
rigged from a rock protrusion on the left. This lands in a chamber with
steeply sloping sand floor, bisected by an old stream route. Downhill (W) is
choked, at the end of the stream route (NE) is a choked p5, and in the top
corner (S) is a small crawlway. 4m above this can be seen a large window.
<p>The crawlway leads for 10m to the foot of a crossrift choked with more
sand. The rift can be ascended for about 10-15m where it bells out into an
Aven. This Aven can also be reached from above (shown by vocal connection).
<p>The window in the sloping sandy chamber can be reached by standing on a
very tall person's shoulders and then lasooing a rock (!). Up here the
passage curves left and there are two climbs up about 10m (check?) to
another chambery bit. Off left is another window back down into the sandy
chamber. Ahead is a 15m blind pitch, and to the right is a crawl to the head
of the aven/rift vocal connection.
<p><a href="300dpi/cfn.png"><img alt="survey - 16k gif" width=550
height=450 src="inline/cfn.gif"></a>
<h3><a name="goboy">Gob on You</a> / Wish You were here (1990, 1993)</h3>
<p><a name="tfcut">At the</a> 'end' of YAPATE, where progress is barred by a
hole in the floor, a dodgy traverse leads to the take off for the 12m <b>Gob
on You</b> (after a nasty spit) pitch down a hading rift. Below is a bedding
plane going back to the foot of the hole that was climbed over, and another
25m wet pitch, <b>Wish you were here (not me)</b> pitch. At the bottom, the
way on is down a tight slot in the floor of the rift. Over the slot the rift
continues as <b>The Final Cut</b> for 20m before closing.
<p><a name="alextech">Down through</a> the slot is a wide and deep pitch,
still containing the water which sinks in the floor just before The Final
Cut. However, about 3m down below the slot it is possible to traverse off NW
(away from YAPATE) for ~20m past a blind hole to another slot, which gives a
52m dry freehang, called <b>Alexander Technique</b>. Continuing over this
second slot, after 5m is a 2.5m climb up, at the top of which a further 4m
crawl breaks out in the side of a dripping aven/pitch [<a
href="qmdone.htm#C1993-161-04">C1993-161-04</a>].
<p><a name="qC1993-161-04">The pitch</a> is c 40m so far, but time and novices
ran out in the 1995 push, so the continuation remains undescended
[<a href="qmtodo.htm#C1995-161-74" name="qC1995-161-74">C1995-161-74</a>].
<p><a name="belowalex">At the bottom</a> of Alexander Technique the passage
turns back SE, presumably rejoining the wet pitch seen below The Final Cut.
This is reached via another slot, then there is about <b>70m of pitch</b>
with several rebelays in the same shaft as <a href="#halfshaft">Half
Shaft</a>. This is where the Gob &amp; Dehydration routes join. At the bottom
is a rock bridge. On the HLV side (Left, E) is a rock-choked shaft base. The
other (West) side is <a href="#cwedge">Captive Wedge</a>.
<p>The Final Cut, Alexander Technique and the crawl to the undescended pitch
are all in an obvious 260&deg; bearing rift. Fifty Francis' Phreatic Freehang
in FBS is on the same fault, if not actually connected, too.
<h3>Strange Downfall - <a name="hgs">Hyper Gamma Spaces</a> - Endless (1990)</h3>
<p>Beyond the 90&deg; bend in <a href="sibria.htm#cfn">Chicken Flied
Nice</a>, the floor trench cuts down to a stream rift opening onto a big
space. The 23m <a href="farnth.htm#stranged">Strange Downfall</a> pitch into
a very large aven/collapse chamber lands on boulders. This big space, and the
associated small rifts are collectively called <b>Hyper Gamma Spaces</b>, due
to the size of the space, and complexity of the rifts.
<p>Halfway up <a href="farnth.htm#strangeu">Strange Upfall</a> is a col
between Hyper Gamma Spaces and a damp hole of similar depth. Down here there
are ways into a set of undescended rifts - probably the top of the Hyper
Gamma Spaces rifts.
<p>Climbing down to the lowest point of chamber (West side), reaches a small
rift which is fairly full of stones at this point. To the left is <a
href="#endless">Endless</a>, while to the right in this rift leads to the <a
name="HGSrift"><b>Hyper Gamma Spaces</b></a>rifts. Traversing over two 3m
deep holes leads to a right turn and a 4m climb down to a chockstone plus
another 5m climb down to a boulder choke. Descents can be made in various
places along this rift, for up to about 20m, but all routes seem to choke.
<h4><a name="dehydrn">Dehydration</a> (1990)</h4>
<p>Dehydration series (as the term is now used) is a rift series leading to
various pitches, not fully explored, and a final choke below Halfshaft, also
reachable from Gob On You. In old logbooks (and in the title of the survey
above), the term referred to a much larger area of the cave including
everything then known beyond Staircase 36. There is some confusion about the
exact positions of QMs and pitch demarcations in the HLV/Half Shaft/Captive
Wedge series.
<h5><a name="endless">Endless</a> (1990)</h5>
<p>Immediately left in the rift below Strange Downfall is a very loose 3m
climb down to a widening of the rift. <b>Endless</b> starts only 5m high, but
the steeply descending (35&deg; to 40&deg;) rift is a good 40m high 140m
further on. From here there is a crawl ahead/left which goes 30m before
getting too tight. Of two climbs down to the right, the first is about 3m to
a pitch aligned with the rift, the second is the way on. Beneath its foot is
a further 3m climb down leading to a rift pitch (probably the same as that
reached from the first climb). These pitches have not been descended.
<p>Continuing down Endless leads to various amusing climbs and a junction to
the left after 60m. A stoop leads through to an angled chamber with a roof
tube 7m up the right hand wall which winds somewhat before emerging back in
Endless some 15m above the floor (not climbable at this point).
<h5><a name="hlavesta">Hasta La Vesta</a> (1990)</h5>
<p>20m further on is a 2m climb up and a 5m climb down followed by a couple
of loose climbs (beware) leading to <b>Hasta La Vesta</b>, a horrible pile of
boulders calling itself a pitch head. This area seems to be where the major
joint on which Endless is formed meets the fault responsible for Staircase 36
and a lot of vertical development beneath it.
<p>Just before this is a hard 5m climb down into a sand-filled dead end.
<p>About 10m down the appalling pitch, a pendulum to the left (SE) above two
big holes can be made (the wall is very loose). From here an ascending rift
passage can be followed to an unascended (as most of it fell off when it was
attempted) climb. This rift [<a href="qmtodo.htm#C1990-161-07" name="qC1990-161-07">C1990-161-07</a>
C] may well be the one continuing beyond Fifty Francis' Phreatic Freehang in
<a href="#fbs">Flat Battery</a>, as voices have been heard in the area.
<p><a name="halfshaft">Only the right</a> hand of the two holes, <b>Half
Shaft</b>, has been descended, although they appear to connect after a 9m
near vertical section to a rebelay. This is followed by 53m 15&deg; off
vertical in a rift 7m long by 4m wide, broken by a rock-strewn ledge about
half way down. The 60m pitch (70m if you count the loose section from Hasta
La Vesta) parallels the <a href="#belowalex">70m pitch below Alexander
Technique</a> in Gob. The ropes actually join about 3m above the boulder
floor at a rock bridge.
<p>From the floor a climb up to the left leads to a passage containing
increasingly awkward climbs. An obvious hole leads to a large
shaft with a sloping wall. It is not clear if either of these is the QM
originally numbered 90-07, but the descriptions don't seem to match.
<h5><a name="cwedge">Captive Wedge</a></h5>
<p>The other (West) side is the 35m <b>Captive Wedge</b> pitch, in sections
of 15m to a bolt rebelay, then another bolt shortly below and a final drop of
16.5m to the boulder floor, mostly in a circular shaft 5m in diameter. Five
metres below the lower rebelay and 4m away from the rope is an inaccessible
window [<a href="qmtodo.htm#C1990-161-05" name="qC1990-161-05">C1990-161-05</a> C].
<p>The foot of the pitch is a shelf about 8m up. Traversing round to the
right, and dashing through the small waterfall gains a splashy downclimb to
a section of sizeable passage heading north (nearly 90&deg; to the big rift
that has just been descended). This can be followed about 15m up a 2m climb
to a dead end. At the foot of the downclimb a grovel left through boulders
gains a c5 into a small rift where all the water disappears down a hole
about 12 cm in diameter.

width=77 height=157></a></center>
<p>Descending the top part of <a href="bsains.htm#checkout">Checkout</a> for
4m to the second rebelay, it is possible to stand on the rock ridge between
Checkout pitch and the <a href="offtop.htm#ashopper">Alternative Shopper</a>
30m pitch. From the ridge a traverse over loose boulders gains the
continuation of <a href="bsains.htm#bigsain">Big Sainsbury's</a> passage into
<a name="dreamtime">Dreamtime</a>. This traverse should be lined. There are
bolts in one boulder across the col, and two in the wall around the pitch.
<p>The passage descends over boulders and a trench in the floor, <a
href="offdtm.htm#deepsleep">Deep Sleep</a>, with a hole on the right leading
into a blind rift, <a name="bullalley"><b>Bullshit Alley</b></a> with a
chamber at the bottom, <a name="petecha"><b>Pete's Chamber</b></a>. The main
passage eventually closes off, but a narrow passage to the right descends to
Eyehole Pitch. A hole to the left of the pitchhead descends a 20m pitch to an
excessively tight rift, which would be near impossible to rig without a power
drill [No QM number].
<p><a name="eyeholep">Ahead,</a> <b>Eyehole Pitch</b> is first a 4m drop
into a chamber, with a window back to the 20m pitch, then a climb over or
through (the eyehole) a rock bridge and 6m down an elliptical tube to land in
a passage with a bedding plane off to left and right.
<p><a name="iscoop">In the bedding</a> plane, left around a central pillar
leads to a short pitch to the bottom of the 20m, and across the bedding is
the start of <a href="offdtm.htm#gnome">Gnome Passage</a>. Ahead the passage
enters a rift via a handline climb. Traverse over a hole in the floor, and
continue until the rift drops right into a pit. Left here is a tight rift to an undescended pitch [<a href="qmtodo.htm#C1989-161-07" name="qC1989-161-07">C1989-161-07</a> C].
<p><a name="dreamingp">Climbing</a> the far side of the pit gains <b>Indian
Scoop</b> in a short passage to <b>Dreaming Pitch</b>, the head of which ended the 1989 exploration. This descends to a short horizontal section, and then
<a name="hingep"><b>Hinge Pitch</b></a>. Hinge Pitch drops about 10m to
become tight, but about 5m down, a ledge can be gained on the right. Climb
over a notch and down into a larger passage.
<p><a name="stinkyp">This passage</a> is about 50m long, over a hole which
should preferably be provided with a handline. This hole has not been
descended [<a href="qmtodo.htm#C1990-161-08" name="qC1990-161-08">C1990-161-08</a>]. At the end of
the passage, just before <b>Stinky Pool</b>, climb up to the right into a
cross passage, leading to the top of <a name="hitrp"><b>Hole in the Roof
Pitch</b></a>. This descends for 30m via four rebelays and a Y-hang to land
on boulders. To the left is a blind pit, to the right a climb down and short
section of passage to join the <a href="rhr.htm#rhroute">Right Hand Route</a>

<h2>161 Kaninchenh&ouml;hle: Drunk &amp; Stupid (1989)</h2>
<b>Overview</b>: A Vertical series from <a href="bsains.htm#bigsain">Big
Sainsbury's</a>, NW of the <a href="bsains.htm#161a">entrance</a>, that
spirals round, first west, then south, then east almost directly under the
entrance, continuing east to join <a href="lhr.htm#lhroute">Left Hand
Route</a> at -255m.
<p><center><a href="l/dh_dns.htm"><img alt="photo in D&amp;S"
src="t/dh_dns.jpg" width=134 height=200></a><br>
Pitch head in Drunk and Stupid.</center>
<p><a name="dands">The first</a> large hole in Big Sainsbury's, against the
right hand (NE) wall heading away from
<a href="bsains.htm#autodoors">Automatic Doors</a>, and c50m from that pitch
is the start of <b>Drunk &amp; Stupid</b>. The beginning of this route is
best rigged on one long length as pitch follows traverse and so on. The
entrance hole is an 8m pitch, <a name="tten"><b>The Ten</b></a> to an
uninspiring boulder slope, ignored in 1988. A traverse line should be rigged
to reach a tube at the bottom leading into a large rift with a 20m hang,
<a name="ttwenty"><b>The Twenty</b></a>, to a boulder strewn floor.
<p>From the bottom of the Twenty, a traverse line is required to descend a
slippery slope to the head of an excellent 30m pitch, <a
name="tthirty"><b>The Thirty</b></a>, (rope pad for the belay knot). The way
on is now clean washed rift with traverse lines and a couple of short hangs.
<p><a name="dns20m">This rift</a> comes to a <b>20m pitch</b>, where there
are several <a href="offdns.htm#dns20mposs">possibilities</a>. The main route
of Drunk &amp; Stupid is reached across the head of the pitch into another
passage.
<p><a name="parauniv">Follow</a> the passage (minding holes in floor) to
reach a superb natural belay with natural backup in the roof for <b>Parallel
Universe</b>, a 20m pitch (the rock is too rubbish to bolt). Further
incredibly sharp, stream-washed passage drops down a couple of 5m
climbs/pitches to a Y-hang for <a name="yatmp"><b>YATMP</b></a> (yet another
20m pitch). Finally the rift is done with one 5m pitch into a 10m x 5m
chamber, <a name="wetncha"><b>Wet Nappy Chamber</b></a>.
<p><a name="bslicer">The water</a> way becomes too tight, but the
continuation is a climb up on the left into a nasty, muddy hading rift,
<b>Bacon Slicer</b>, which requires a traverse line to reach a ladder pitch
some 15m down. The walls of the rift slope at 65&deg;. The rift is relatively
tight and awkward although a reasonably easy route was eventually discovered
that involved doubling back to the streamway 15m below the head of the
ladder.
<p><a name="ddooms">A short</a> climb out of the rift leads to a larger
section with a trench in the floor. Within 20m the passage closes down into a
very loose-looking boulder choke. Beneath this is a short section of narrow
rift leading to the head of a 15m pitch, <b>Darkness Dooms</b>. At the
bottom, the stream disappears down a 3m trench that slopes steeply downwards
for about 15m. A handline is useful here. The trench gradually widens until a
sharp right turn where large rift passage is again entered.
<p>After a short section of wider passage, a 2m boulder climb leads to the
head of another hading rift. This is much larger than the Bacon Slicer
although the walls slope at the same angle of 65&deg;. The boulder climb
marks the start of a spectacular climb down a boulder slope with a vertical
descent of 18m. The boulder slope ends in:-
<h3><a name="helipad">Helipad</a> (1989)</h3>
<p>This chamber is approximately 10m across and 20m along. Along the left
hand wall is a sandy shelf approximately 1.5m above the floor of the chamber.
To the right of a waterfall at the far end is a short climb up leading to a
section of small, twisting phreatic tubes. These were not surveyed but were
explored to the head of an 11m pitch that lands in French Connection Chamber.
Left of this are <a href="offdns.htm#hpad">two minor QMs</a>. A traverse to
the right is possible here to gain the passage leading back to
<a href="offdns.htm#deadandb">Dead and Buried</a>.
<p><a name="fcc"><b>French Connection Chamber</b></a> is thus named because
the original Drunk and Stupid explorers found a rope here, coming down the
far wall - as it was unmarked it was assumed that they had broken into
another cave, maybe French (the <a href="../../others/gscb/index.htm">Groupe
Sp&eacute;l&eacute;ologique de Clerval</a> were working in the area at this
time, although we had no contact with them). The next party down
<a href="lhr.htm#niflheim">Niflheim</a> was surprised to find a note with
CUCC's address on attached to the rope. Thus French Connection Pitch and
Chamber were born.
<p><a name="fccrope">This short</a> (9m) pitch from the Left Hand Route is
left <a href="../../fixaid.htm#fcon">permanently rigged</a>, so that a party
descending Drunk and Stupid may climb it and rig the last 7m of
<a href="lhr.htm#niflheim">Niflheim</a> to gain access to the horizontal
passages at the bottom of Left Hand Route.

<h2>161 Kaninchenh&ouml;hle: Mainline to far north</h2></center>
<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>Although it can be bypassed via Burble Crawl, the logical approach to the
Far North is across the tyrolean of Strange Acrossfall to reach the large
chamber of Repton I, and this is where the <a href="#viasa">main
description</a> here starts. It is likely that the bypass will need to be
used at some stage to rerig the main route, so the route from the bottom of
Vom Pitch is also described in this page.
<p>Whichever way is taken to Repton I, the passages beyond are incompletely
explored, and the big trunk passages seem to have disappeared. It is
difficult to single out a "main way on". The routes are described in terms of
the "normal" or shortest currently known ways to the remotest points of the
cave, with the proviso that further exploration may reveal more direct or
more logical ways.
<hr>
<h3>Repton I reached via Burble/Leadmine</h3>
<p>In the event that no-one is foolish enough to trust the ageing fixed ropes
at Strange Upfall or Strange Acrossfall (this latter may have been removed
anyway), the only way to avoid repeating the climb is via Burble Crawl and
the Leadmine.
<p>This route starts from the same 90&deg; right hand bend in
<a href="sibria.htm#cfn">Chicken Flied Nice</a> mentioned above.
Follow that link and the description up to the entry to Leadmine,
at which point you will find a link back here.
<h4><a name="leadminese">Leadmine</a> - Maze to Repton (1991)</h4>
<p>From the T-junction in the passage east below Vom Pitch, right (south)
is the way into Leadmine.
<p>This is a complex of joint-controlled passages, generally 0.8m wide by
2-3m high with sandy floors, very civilised. Turning right at the T-junction
gives 25m of passage to a short drop and kink to the left, with a sand-filled
chamber down to the left. 5m beyond this is a passage off sharply back to the
left, leading to <a href="#repton1">Repton I</a>.
<p><a name="soilp">Carrying</a> on forwards another 20m of passage leads
round to the right past a 1m climb up on the left to a sand-filled chamber
with a hole down through the sand in the far corner. The apparent dodginess
of this <b>Soil Pitch</b> means that it has not been investigated
[<a name="qC1991-161-22" href="qmtodo.htm#C1991-161-22">C1991-161-22</a> C]). The climb just before
this chamber reveals 30-40m of unsurveyed high passage with a couple of 4m
climbs up at the end to boulder chokes.
<p><a href="300dpi/repton.png"><img alt="survey - 16k gif" width=560
height=350 src="inline/repton.gif"></a>
<p>Back on the route to Repton, 15m of passage (going north) leads to another
passage parallel to the one just left. You can go left for about 5m to a dead
end or right for 10m to a 2m climb down into three connected sand-floored
chambers. The only way out is the 4m climb up the sloping right hand wall of
these chambers.
<p>At the top of this climb, the obvious route to the left (SE) goes dead
straight for 25m to the foot of a wide inclined bedding full of boulders
which leads up for 10m to <a href="#repton1">Repton I</a>. To the right a
traverse around the top of the pitch leads to a small chamber with a hole
connecting back to the chambers below and a crawl up in the roof going
nowhere.
<h3><a name="viasa">Strange Acrossfall</a></h3>
<p>Beyond the 90&deg; right hand bend in <a href="sibria.htm#cfn">Chicken
Flied Nice</a> (where the Burble route departs), the passage changes: the
floor trench cuts down and widens to a high stream rift which opens onto a
big space, <a href="deepwy.htm#hgs">Hyper Gamma Spaces</a>.
<p><a name="stranged">The 23m</a> <b>Strange Downfall</b> pitch into
this very large aven/collapse chamber lands on boulders. This is believed to
have a <a href="../../fixaid.htm#strange">fixed rope</a> at present. Climbing down
to the lowest point of the chamber (West side) reaches a small rift which is
fairly full of stones at this point. To the right is more of Hyper Gamma
Spaces - <a href="deepwy.htm#HGSrift">the rift bit</a>, while to the left is
<a href="deepwy.htm#endless">Endless</a>.
<p><center><a name="strangea" href="l/sacros.htm"><img src="t/sacros.jpg"
width=120 height=177></a></center>
<br><center><a href="l/sacros.htm">The tyrolean of Strange
Acrossfall</a></center>
<p><a name="strangeu">The pitch up</a> the far side of Hyper Gamma
Spaces is the 18m <b>Strange Upfall</b> (1991), and the Tyrolean
straight across avoiding most of both of these pitches is, of course,
<b>Strange Acrossfall</b>.
<p>To avoid repeating the climb/traverse unaided, one or both of these would
be left rigged from year to year (see the
<a href="../../fixaid.htm#strangea">fixed ropes</a> page). However, in view
of the age of the ropes and the lack of immediate interest in pursuing leads
beyond Repton, they have been derigged. Thus they will need to be replaced by
a party following the Burble/Leadmine route before this route can be used
again.
<h3><a name="repton">Repton I</a> (1991)</h3>
<p><a name="repton1">At the top</a> of <a href="#strangeu">Strange
Upfall</a> is a big chamber - <b>Repton</b> (named after the computer game
involving huge piles of boulders). It has two distinct halves, both sloping
down from a central rockpile col. The smaller half, entered first, is
<b>Repton I</b>, 40m long, and 12m wide. About 25m upslope, a huge block
forms a 2m high step across the chamber. This can be passed by a hard climb
on the right hand wall, or an easier climb through boulders at the left hand
end.
<p>Just beyond this a wide bedding in the left hand wall descends into the
<a href="sibria.htm#leadmine">Leadmine</a>, and ramifications to the
Northwest. Then there is a steep rock pile leading up into Repton II, and the
most remote parts of the system to the Northeast.
<h3><a name="repton2">Repton II</a>, <a name="beehiver">Beehive</a> (1991) -
to the far Northeast</h3>
<p>Climbing over the rockpile from Repton I, beside a 10m cubed block, leads
into the huge 20m high and wide space of <b>Repton II</b>, sloping down to an
obvious large passage going out of the left hand side of the end wall. 15m
down here a climb/slide down a sandbank leads to a short crawl into a 10m
diameter chamber, <b>Beehive</b> (not to be confused with the
<a href="deepwy.htm#beehivef">Beehive</a> in Flapjack :-). The sandy passage
can also be followed round to the left to overlook this chamber.
<p><center>
<a href="l/bhclmb.htm"><img src="t/bhclmb.jpg" width=134 height=200>
<br><br>The Beehive climb</a></center>
<p>There are three other ways out of the chamber.
A <a href="offnth.htm#bhcrawl">small crawl</a> to the right, the obvious
passage ahead, <a href="offnth.htm#wetwe">Wet Weekend</a>, and the way on
into <b>Pipeless</b>. This is reached by climbing up the boulder pile on the
east side of the chamber. From here a very difficult move into the passage is
greatly eased by a long sling hung from a bolt on the right of the climb.
<h4><a name="pipeless">Pipeless</a> (1992)</h4>
<p>Pipeless (after its explorers' severe carbide difficulties) is a 4-5m
diameter phreatic tube going gently downhill for 120m. First there is a 2m
sandbank climb, most easily passed by chimneying against the left wall. The
passage continues past an area of large breakdown with left and right bends
to a long section containing impressive formations in the roof, and a small
stream in the floor. A small infill-choked passage goes off low on the left
at the breakdown area.

<img alt=" " src="../../../icons/lists/tab64.gif">
<a href="l/pipebr.htm">The Bridge</a></center>
<p><a name="bridge">Next is</a> a 3m pitch/handline climb down and a 2m climb
down to <b>The Bridge</b>, some precariously balanced rocks over a big,
undescended pit.
<p><a href="300dpi/mmud.png"><img alt="survey - 15k gif" width=450
height=600 src="inline/mmud.gif"></a>
<h4><a name="ssr">Satan's Sitting Room</a> (1992)</h4>
<p>Beyond the Bridge in Pipeless, taking the lower, smaller passage for the
last 6m leads to a view into the impressive space of <b>Satan's Sitting
Room</b>. This can also be viewed but not reached from the bigger, higher
passage which can be gained by a 4m climb just beyond The Bridge.
<p>There is a choice of a tyrolean (<a href="../../fixaid.htm#ssr">fixed
rope</a>) across from the entry point, or a 20m pitch (rebelay at -6m, beware
of choss) down towards <a href="offnth.htm#silentf">Silent Fellow</a>.
<p><a name="3wisemen">The shelf</a> reached by the tyrolean goes around the
right hand wall of Satan's Sitting Room to an 8m climb up then a traverse
between two pitches. This is all roped. A tensioned traverse (also with
a <a href="../../fixaid.htm#3wm">permanently rigged</a> rope), <b>Three Wise
Men</b>, is rigged on the wall ahead, up around to the right, to a window,
ignoring the massive undescended pitch
[<a href="qmtodo.htm#C1992-161-12" name="qC1992-161-12">C1992-161-12</a>].

<br>
<b>Three Wise Men - Aggy Finn bolting and Andy Atkinson following</b>.
</center>
<p>From the first window, there is a tyrolean to another window, followed by
a 2m climb/ab down. All the drops here curve round to the big undescended one
in Satan's Sitting Room - a descent of 15m is sufficient to see that these
connect. Across this last chamber (which is very high, with passages coming
in high up) is a 3m climb up into another passage. There is some scrotty
stuff off to the right, a 3m climb forward on the left leads back into the
last chamber, and ahead is a big pitch (undescended [<a
href="qmtodo.htm#C1992-161-13" name="qC1992-161-13">C1992-161-13</a>]).
<h4><a name="tinkler">Tinkle Rift</a> (1992)</h4>
<p>Climbing up to the right just before the last big pitch in Satan's Sitting
Room leads into a stooping and very draughty passage. Straight on dead-ends
immediately, but an immediate left enters <b>Tinkle Rift</b>.
<p>This can be traversed at upper or lower levels. The higher level is more
difficult, starting with a rather Welsh traverse (trying not to break off too
many speleothems - the eponymous Tinkle) over holes ([<a
href="qmdone.htm#C1992-161-15" name="qC1992-161-15">C1992-161-15</a>] - blind), then an awkward
(<a href="../../fixaid.htm#trift">permanent rope</a>) 2m climb up a boulder
blockage. (Climbing up a further 3m here gets you to
<a href="offnth.htm#welliesp">Wellie Scraper</a>). Beyond this, a couple more
down climbs reach the big boulder pile.
<p>The lower route is reached by a 5m pitch (instead of the traverse) at the
start. There are a couple of crawls before the upper level is rejoined after
35m. There are numerous connecting climbs between the two levels. A hole in
the floor just before the two levels join is an 8m awkward blind pitch.
<h4><a name="bvelvet">Black Velvet</a> / Far Too Far (1992)</h4>
<p>On along the rift it gets very high (15m) with various narrow passages at
floor level. Another big boulder blockage can be passed most easily on the
right. Beyond this is a short (12m) blind pitch [<a href="qmdone.htm#C1992-161-16"
name="qC1992-161-16">C1992-161-16</a>]. Across the pitch head a continuation can be seen
(10m away) which can be reached from <a href="#furtcha">Further</a>.
<p><a href="300dpi/far.png"><img alt="survey - 14k gif" width=600
height=400 src="inline/far.gif"></a>
<p><a name="far2far">Climbing</a> up 6m through the boulders leads into a
rising 4m diameter phreas heading northeast, <b>Black Velvet</b> (named after
the very dark (oxidised ?) sand - take care to follow the route). A big hole
in the floor [<a href="qmdone.htm#C1992-161-17" name="qC1992-161-17">C1992-161-17</a>] drops about
12m back into the passage below leading to Further. At the end of Black
Velvet, a ramp pitch continuation, <a href="#axlest">Axle Stand</a> [<a
href="qmdone.htm#C1992-161-18" name="qC1992-161-18">C1992-161-18</a>] drops down, and there is a
sharp corner right into the smaller, southeast trending, <b>Far Too Far</b>
passage.
<p>A tiny hole in the floor here just connects back further along. This area
is muddy and care should be taken not to put mud into the pool at the end.
Here the passage is blocked with glacial fill. There is a crawl on the right,
which quickly enlarges and reaches another big, wet-sounding undescended
pitch [<a href="qmtodo.htm#C1992-161-19" name="qC1992-161-19">C1992-161-19</a>], and a rift off to
the left, giving pitch and traverse [<a href="qmtodo.htm#C1992-161-21"
name="qC1992-161-21">C1992-161-21</a>] routes. This rift lines up exactly with the
desperate-looking crack at the end of <a href="#scrofy">Scrofulosity</a>. On
the right here is an obscure climb which leads into a stooping passage - the
1992 limit of exploration [<a href="qmdone.htm#C1992-161-20" name="qC1992-161-20">C1992-161-20</a>]
which leads to <b>East Anglia</b>.
<h4><a name="eanglia">East Anglia</a> (1993)</h4>
<p>This low sandy passage (named because it is flat and horrible) is 120m
long, rising 16m to the far end at a final depth of -229m from 161a (Alt.
1557m). It starts off wide to the SW, but quickly becomes stooping and
crawling, and generally remains that way. After 20m it turns NE for 25m
before opening out into a 6m wide aven. The drip follows the extremely tight
floor rift out of here.
<p>Voices were heard at this point from <a href="#scrofy">Scrofulosity</a>,
so a connection with either the final pitch or the Aven/rift at the climb
seems likely.
<p>Crossing over the canyon the passage continues for another 45m, first
walking, then crawling before an aparent dead end. An easy c4 up here gains
another 20m of passage, now in a hading rift, going up and down, mostly up,
to emerge at the head of a big undescended pitch [<a href="qmtodo.htm#C1993-161-03"
name="qC1993-161-03">C1993-161-03</a>], perhaps 8m diameter, with a huge wedged boulder a
few metres down it.
<h4><a name="furtcha">Further</a> / Even Further (1993)</h4>
<p>The sketch in the 1993 logbook gives a good idea of this area, though
one or two names have changed:
<p><a href="../../years/1993/scrof0.gif">
<img src="../../years/1993/scrof2.gif" width=492 height=484
alt="Scrofulosity area sketch"></a>
<p><a name="axlest">The ramp pitch</a> at the end of Black Velvet - <b>Axle
Stand</b> drops 18m to reach <b>Further</b> chamber, about 25m long
developed along the big NE/SW rift that defines this area of the cave. The
pitch ends is a narrow canyon at the SW end. This can be followed a few m
further SW to walking 2-3m wide passage. This continues via a c2 up and a
couple of curves to look out over the blind pitch at the NE end of Tinkle
Rift. 3m back from the lip on the RH side is the bottom of the sizeable hole
in the floor of Black Velvet.
<p>Back in Further there is an old stream route which disappears into an
immature rift that can be followed for about 5m before it gets too tight.
The most obvious exit is a stoop/crawl in the SE corner. This leads to
Scrofulosity.
<p><a name="needlep">At the Northern end</a>, the highest point of Further,
is <b>The Needle</b>, a 7m up pitch, <a href="../../fixaid.htm#needle">left
rigged</a>. This was named after the numerous threads which made it climbable
with only a couple of slings for protection.
<p><a name="efurther">10m of passage</a> from the top of Needle Pitch gains a
view into the large space of <b>Even Further</b>.
<p><a name="weaselp">This 15m</a> diameter chamber is dominated by a huge
boulder which makes the 6m pitch down here, <b>Weasel Pit</b>, bloody
awkward as you must progress down between the wall and boulder at a steep
angle, and the cheesy rock makes foot purchase almost impossible. Ten metres
across the chamber at the far side on the right is another pitch, which has
been descended about 20m on dodgy naturals to no conclusion
[<a href="qmtodo.htm#C1993-161-01" name="qC1993-161-01">C1993-161-01</a>].
<p>From the foot of Weasel Pit you can descend underneath the huge boulder to
get to the lower level of Even Further (the NW side). A passage descends from
here to the WNW for about 15m to a crossrift, choked on the left and too
tight a few metres to the right. This point is -271m. The final feature of
Even Further is a <a href="qmaven.htm#C1993-161-ef" name="qC1993-161-ef">big
drippy aven</a> coming in in the north corner.
<h3><a name="scrofy">Scrofulosity</a></h3>
<p>To the right in Further is <b>Scrofulosity</b>, 140m of mostly sandy crawl
passing underneath <a href="#eanglia">East Anglia</a>. After 45m heading SW,
a 4m sandy downclimb is reached. This looked enough like a pitch to the
explorers that a completely superfluous bolt was put in, although a handline
is useful for the return. The foot is in a rift. It is 15-20m high on the
left hand side with a drip, and very narrow to the right where a strong
draught disappears into a desperate-looking crack. This is clearly (from the
survey) the same rift as that seen at the end of Far Too Far on the left
hand side [<a href="#qC1992-161-21">C1992-161-21</a>].
<p>From here there are two ways on leading to the same spot. A low, wide,
cobbly passage straight on, or a very narrow crabwalk to the right. The
former is far easier, and after 15m rejoins the crabwalk at a 2m down climb
where the passage becomes a walking rift. 12m along here there is a deep,
but extremely narrow hole in the floor at a diaclase. Mud (there are no
stones) sounds like it falls a long way, but a hammer would be required for
any chance of gaining access [<a href="qmtodo.htm#C1993-161-05"
name="qC1993-161-05">C1993-161-05</a>]. Climbing 2m up to the right here on a pile of
mud gains more sandy crawl. After 5m is a T-junction. Right goes about 8m
via a very tight spot to a tiny chamber. Left goes 20m, with a U-bend
squeeze to the top of a 15m rift pitch [<a href="qmtodo.htm#C1993-161-02"
name="qC1993-161-02">C1993-161-02</a>], at a depth of -269m from 161a (Alt. 1517m).

<h2>1623/136 Steinschlagschacht: Forbidden Land</h2>
<h3><a name="forbidden">Overview</a></h3>
<p>Originally explored in 1996 via an extremely loose and unpleasant
area of passages from <a href="fbland.htm#rhorror">Rocky Horror</a>
in Kaninchenh&ouml;hle. This was seen as sufficiently dangerous that
there were many refusals ever to go back, all subsequently rescinded in the
pursuit of new passage trending so promisingly SW towards the Southern
Schwarzmosskogelsystem. Fortunately, the area was reached (in 1997) by
determined exploration in the 1983 discovery Steinschlagschacht, and is
therefore now readily accessible. The passages are here described in the
correct direction for future exploration from this route of access.
<h3><a name="ealgor">Elin Algor</a>
(<a href="../../years/1996/index.htm">1996</a>)</h3>
<p>At the far end of the <a href="136.htm#thegods">Gods' Traverse</a> in
Steinschlagschacht, a hanging rebelay just over the edge of the wall
leads, with a wide swing, to a large eyehole on the opposite wall. A short
(15m) pitch against the wall on the outside of the hole leads to a large
muddy sloping ledge at the back of which is a hole into narrow traversy
passage, Elin Algor, first discovered from the other end in 1996.
<p>This soon enlarges and goes NE for 40m enlarging all the way, past an
unexplored and unpromising pitch through boulders in the floor on the left
[<a name="qC1996-161-94" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-94">C1996-161-94</a> C], to a wide junction.
Sharp left (back west) is <a href="#twerke">Tirolia Werke</a>,
whilst straight on, the main Elin Algor passage followed for another 30m,
reducing in size to where the continuation is reached by climbing up
awkwardly through boulders to emerge in the floor. This can be bypassed by a
pitch up (bolted) and a climb down beyond. Here, a rift can be followed under
the main way for c20m, whilst the chossy rift above goes a similar distance
to where there is a window (exactly head sized) to a pitch on the right
[<a name="qC1996-161-82" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-82">C1996-161-82</a> C].
<p>Still heading NE, the rift enlarges and becomes less chossy. Twenty metres
on, a 15m passage on the right leads to the foot of an impressive aven. A
little further on, the passage opens out to 7m wide and 13m high. An obscure
3m climb up on the left, followed by a traverse is the way into
<a href="#pumph">Pump House</a> (the original entry point from 161) bypassing
the obvious 6m pitch up. There is an aven in the roof here.
<p>Ahead, easy going for 50m NE leads to a big sand cliff/slope into a large
chambery thing. A 10m handline on the right (bolt RH wall) leads down into it. Traversing round to the right at the level of the handline bolt
a steep (45&deg;) loose muddy ramp ascends for 20-30m, turning left near the beginning. This ends at a small rift slope, mostly choked with mud and
rocks, through which is a pitch of perhaps 20m. The pitch head needs some
gardening and a smallish person [<a name="qC1999-136-nn"
href="qmtodo.htm#C1999-136-nn">C1999-136-nn</a> C].
<p>There are numerous ways off the chambery thing at the bottom of the
handline, but it is not clear where the gale goes. To the right, between
mudbanks, is the wet foot of a largish pitch. The water goes down an
impenetrable crack. A chossy 10m climb up a mud bank on the left leads to a
smallish tube at 'floor' level
[<a name="qC1996-161-81" href="qmdone.htm#C1996-161-81">C1996-161-81</a> C].
This was looked at in 1997: the tube is only about 4m long, but has 2
right-angle bends making it very difficult for tall people. It emerges into
the wall of a big shaft which couldn't be explored owing to lack of tackle
[<a name="qC1997-161-40" href="qmtodo.htm#C1997-161-40">C1997-161-40</a> A].
<p>There is a 15m diameter, 15m deep undescended pitch on the far side of
the large chambery thing
[<a name="qC1996-161-79" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-79">C1996-161-79</a>
A], with probably an aven at the far end.
<p>On the left is a wet area where the water can be followed into a rift for
some metres, unfinished
[<a name="qC1996-161-80" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-80">C1996-161-80</a> C].
Above this, 10m of passage leads to a 4m pitch, bridged by a large rock.
traversing the bridge leads to a squalid crawl over mud which gets too small
without digging after 10m. Descending the pitch leads to about 80m of small
winding draughting passage explored as far as a chossy pitchhead
[<a name="qC1996-161-78" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-78">C1996-161-78</a> A].
<h3><a name="pumph">Pump House</a> and Hall of the Mounting Choss
(<a href="../../years/1996/index.htm">1996</a>)</h3>
<p>Above the climb from Elin Algor, a howling gale fills the 6m x 2m
phreatic passage, <b>Pump House,</b> leading for 70m to emerge in the
<b>Hall of the Mounting Choss,</b> a few metres (climbable) up its SE wall.
<p><a name="hotmc">Hall of the Mounting Choss</a> is a very long, steep
chamber, about 25m wide, 20m high and 80m long (above the rocks!). To the
left of the point of emergence from Pump House, is an inaccessible hole
(would need bolts)
[<a name="qC1996-161-77" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-77">C1996-161-77</a> C].
Below this, at floor level, is the way into
<a href="fbland.htm#wimpway">Whimper Way,</a> leading to 161. Further left,
near the lowest (S) side of the chamber is another passage leading 5m to a
closed 5m high solution aven. To the right of the point of emergence is
another opening which quickly chokes with sand. There is a small, undescended
rift pitch in the W corner
[<a name="qC1996-161-76" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-76">C1996-161-76</a> B].
The various holes in the floor down through boulders have been fairly
thoroughly checked and no ways on found.
<p>At the top of the 40m slope there is a big aven in the N corner and
a pair of pitches
[<a name="qC1996-161-74" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-74">C1996-161-74</a> A
on the right and
<a name="qC1996-161-75" href="qmdone.htm#C1996-161-75">C1996-161-75</a> A
on the left]. The left hand hole has been descended and
<a href="offfld.htm#hotmcp">still continues</a>. There is a secondary low
point in the NE corner. Climbing down through the floor here leads back to
Whimper Way (NE of the entry point). A 15m x 15m x 10m boulder can be passed
by an 8m climb on the right. A harder 8m climb is also possible on the left.
These gain another 60m of passage over large breakdown to a draughting choke
of small rocks coming down from above
[<a name="qC1996-161-71" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-71">C1996-161-71</a> C].
Just before this on the left wall there is a draughting crawl below an undercut [<a name="qC1999-136-nn" href="qmtodo.htm#C1999-136-nn">C1999-136-nn</a>.
Above the huge boulder are steeply sloping QMs in the left hand wall
[<a name="qC1996-161-73" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-73">C1996-161-73</a> B].
Protection is needed for the climb.
<h3><a name="twerke">Tirolia Werke</a>
(<a href="../../years/1996/index.htm">1996</a>)</h3>
<p>Northwest at the wide junction in Elin Algor (to the right coming from
161, left coming from Steinschlagschacht), <b>Tirolia Werke</b> soon turns
west. Climbing down on the right at the start of the passage there is a good
carbide fill pool. There is a small stream for the first 15m which then
sinks. There is a small passage (to NW) just at the start, which has not been
explored
[<a name="qC1996-161-84" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-84">C1996-161-84</a> C].
An awkward 3m sand climb (<a href="../../fixaid.htm#tw5m">short handline</a>)
leads into the first spot that shows the passage type round here. It is
hading rift, with steep ramps on the right at many points. These have all
been climbed to where they are steep enough to need gear/practically
vertical, but have not actually stopped.
[<a name="qC1996-161-85" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-85">C1996-161-85</a> B
and <a name="qC1996-161-86" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-86">C1996-161-86</a>
B], then steeper ramps
[<a name="qC1996-161-87" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-87">C1996-161-87</a> B
and
<a name="qC1996-161-88" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-88">C1996-161-88</a> B].
The passage continues for 70m to a 3m ladder pitch at an awkward narrow drop
in the rift floor. Shortly before this pitch a 3m climb up on the right hand
side leads to a largish chamber at the foot of an aven. There is a small
tight wet lead in here
[<a name="qC1997-161-39" href="qmtodo.htm#C1997-161-39">97-39</a> C], and
there appears to be a parallel rift here (probably the same as that seen
further along Tirolia Werke).
<p>20m beyond this is a small opening low in the left hand wall leading to
the <a href="offfld.htm#gravpit">Gravel Pit</a>. In the main rift, water can
be heard behind the right hand wall, presumably in a parallel rift. Climbing
down under boulders before the slipped wall on the right leads to an
undescended 5m pitch
[<a name="qC1996-161-91" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-91">C1996-161-91</a> A].
Traversing around this (long legs only) reaches a second pit
[<a name="qC1996-161-92" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-92">C1996-161-92</a> A]
from which the parallel rift can be seen. There are others scrots under
boulders here, back to the bottom of the main rift.
<p>The rift size is severely reduced here as a large section of the right
hand wall has slipped down. The next bit can be reached by a narrow rift
straight ahead, or airy traversing up the ramp on the right. Beyond this last
widening is a choss slope to a very uninviting boulder choke.
Probably needs another look, draughty, but not terribly promising
[<a name="qC1996-161-93" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-93">C1996-161-93</a> C].

<h2>161 Kaninchenh&ouml;hle: Forbidden Land</h2>
<h3><a name="forbidden">Overview</a></h3>
<p>Much of the horizontal development on the eastern side of
Kaninchenh&ouml;hle is at a similar level and of a similar character to
passages in
<a href="../../noinfo/smkridge/40.htm">Schwarzmooskogeleish&ouml;hle</a>,
<a href="../../noinfo/smkridge/88.htm">Larchenh&ouml;hle</a> and the
<a href="../41.htm">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle</a> /
<a href="../115.htm">Schnellzugh&ouml;hle</a> systems, all of
which are connected together. From the southernmost point of Flat France,
perhaps 600m separates these systems. The 1995 lead, Stairway to Hell, led
into passages trending under the eastern side of the summit of the Vorderer
Schwarzmooskogel, heading in exactly the right direction, and connected
(in 1997) the Eyehole route in <a href="136.htm">Steinschlagschacht</a>
(1623/136) from which 1999 finds lead to within 50m of the Southern
Schwarzmooskogelsystem.
<h3><a name="rhorror">Rocky Horror</a>
(<a href="../../years/1995/index.htm">1995</a>)</h3>
<p>The two southern exits from the chamber at the SW end of
<a href="tptofr.htm#13mcha">French Revolution</a> (coming from Triassic Park)
or the SE end of <a href="frtotp.htm#13mcha">Fudge Brownie</a> (coming from
France) reunite either side of a rock pillar.
<p>Continuing (now SW) perhaps 20m leads to a fucking loose, huge overhanging
pile of utter crap. Most 'hand holds' on the walls fall off and are best
left, hence the name <b>Rocky Horror</b>. A large &amp; deep opening in the
floor could be descended but for the astonishing pile of hanging death. In
the left hand wall are a couple more upwards boulder chokes neither of which
seem feasible or promising.
<p><a name="rhorrorp">Straight</a> on over Rocky Horror is the 10m <b>Rocky
Horror Pitch</b> with crap rigging, landing in a high passage.
<p>To the left at the foot of Rocky Horror pitch the passage continues the SW
trend before apparently choking after 25m. Hidden in this wall is the
unpleasant entrance to <b>Stairway to Hell</b>, the original way into
the Forbidden Land, now more conveniently, and much more safely reached
through <a href="136.htm">Steinschlagschacht</a>.
<p>Right, at the foot of the pitch, down some boulders, leads back 10m to a
ledge about half-way down the 18m <a href="offffr.htm#bsuspend">Black
Suspender</a> pitch, on the far side from Mississippi. High on the left an
airy traverse across is possible.
<h3><a name="stohell">Stairway to Hell</a>, Forbidden Land
(<a href="../../years/1995/index.htm">1995</a>)</h3>
<p>The hole in the wall of the choked SW passage left at the foot of Rocky
Horror Pitch, being the southernmost point of the cave, was pushed through a
tiny, wet, muddy thrutch into the bottom of a boulder choke.
<b>Stairway to Hell</b> is muddy, shitty &amp; desperately
loose. Do not look around at all when passing this section! The large
boulders at the bottom are particularly suspect and great care is needed as
you climb up on the right, then slither back over the top up a shitty slope,
using only the LH wall/roof, and avoiding the handy chockstone at the narrow
exit holding up the next bit. The c4 out of top corner here is made harder as
only 1.5 walls are solid. A final crawl through boulders leads out into an
antechamber at the bottom of the <b>Whimper Way</b>.
<p>During the original exploration of this a couple of boulders rolled down
the choke causing a hasty retreat, some boulder moving to get out, and vows
never to return, thus leaving this wide open passage as a question mark
[<a name="qC1995-161-11" href="qmdone.htm#C1995-161-11">C1995-161-11</a> B]. However, in 1996, after
checking every other conceivable lead in the area, Stairway to Hell was found
to be the only viable lead in this direction and therefore obviously the way
to go. Thus it was pushed regardless, revealing a lot of passage which can
now (since 1997) be reached from the surface at
<a href="136.htm">Steinschlagschacht</a>.
<h4><a name="wimpway">Whimper Way</a>
(<a href="../../years/1996/index.htm">1996</a>)</h4>
<p>Whimper Way is reached by a very muddy 6m climb at the southern end of the
antechamber above Stairway to Hell. This 'route' has one solid wall sloping
at about 70&deg; on the SE side. The other side is all jammed boulders. You
are actually about 30m below the floor of the huge Hall of the Mounting
Choss. Routes at various levels can be followed both SW &amp; NE. So far all
three that have been followed to a conclusion have ended up in the chamber
above. There may be other ways out at the bottom, but wandering about in here
is an exciting proposition. The NE direction has been checked, but may still
reveal a route on
[<a name="qC1996-161-70" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-70">C1996-161-70</a> C].
<p>The normal route goes SW in a wide (6m) space into the upper half of what
feels like passage. A dodgy traverse round on the right gains a ledge. There
is a QM off on the left
([<a name="qC1996-161-72" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-72">C1996-161-72</a> B]
traverse line needed). A short squeezy bit here gains another 15m of
'passage' which comes out in the lowest corner of Hall of the Mounting Choss.
Taking the lower route in Whimper Way then climbing up through huge boulders
also ends up here. The climbs down through the boulders have been checked
fairly thoroughly and no ways on were found.
<h4><a name="hotmc">Hall of the Mounting Choss</a></h4>
<p>The Hall of the Mounting Choss is a very long, steep chamber, about 25m
wide, 20m high and 80m long (above the rocks!). There is a small, undescended
rift pitch in the W corner
[<a name="qC1996-161-76" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-76">C1996-161-76</a> B].
About 5-10m up the S/SE wall is a row of four openings. The first and lowest
leads 5m to a closed 5m high solution aven. The second is inaccessible (would
need bolts), above Whimper Way
[<a name="qC1996-161-77" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-77">C1996-161-77</a> C].
The third is a 6m wide and low phreatic, the main way on into the Forbidden
Land. The fourth is choked with sand.
<p>At the top of the 40m slope there is a big aven in the N corner and
a pair of pitches
[<a name="qC1996-161-74" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-74">C1996-161-74</a> A
on the right and
<a name="qC1996-161-75" href="qmdone.htm#C1996-161-75">C1996-161-75</a> A
on the left]. The left hand hole has been descended and
<a href="offfld.htm#hotmcp">still continues</a>. There is a secondary low
point in the NE corner. Climbing down through the floor here leads back to
Whimper Way (NE of the entry point). A 15m x 15m x 10m boulder can be passed
by an 8m climb on the right. A harder 8m climb is also possible on the left.
These gain another 60m of passage over large breakdown to a draughting choke
of small rocks coming down from above
[<a name="qC1996-161-71" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-71">C1996-161-71</a> C].
Just before this on the left wall there is a draughting crawl below an
undercut
[<a name="qC1999-136-nn" href="qmtodo.htm#C1999-136-nn">C1999-136-nn</a>.
Above the huge boulder are steeply sloping QMs in the left hand wall
[<a name="qC1996-161-73" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-73">C1996-161-73</a> B].
Protection is needed for the climb.
<p><a name="pumph">Following</a> the howling gale down the 6m x 2m phreatic
passage, <b>Pump House</b>, leads to a 6m pitch after 70m.
<h4><a name="ealgor">Elin Algor</a></h4>
<p>The pitch in Pump House looks out into a large (7m wide, 13m high),
straight rift passage, <b>Elin Algor</b>, going both NE and SW. The wind
blows NE (left at the junction - away from the connection to 136). The 6m
pitch can be bypassed by traversing on the right to an obscure 3m climb.
There is an aven in the roof here.
<p>Easy going for 50m NE (left) leads to a big sand cliff/slope into a large
chambery thing. A 10m handline on the right (bolt right hand wall) leads down into it. Traversing round to the right at the level of the handline bolt
a steep (45&deg;) loose muddy ramp ascends for 20-30m, turning left near the begining. This ends at a small rift slope, mostly choked with mud and
rocks, through which is a pitch of perhps 20m. The pitch head needs some
gardening and a smallish person
[<a name="qC1999-136-nn" href="qmtodo.htm#C1999-136-nn">C1999-136-nn</a> C].
<p>There are numerous ways off the chambery thing at the bottom of the
handline, but it is not clear where the gale goes. To the right, between
mudbanks, is the wet foot of a largish pitch. The water goes down an
impenetrable crack. A chossy 10m climb up a mud bank on the left leads to a
smallish tube at 'floor' level.
[<a name="qC1996-161-81" href="qmdone.htm#C1996-161-81">C1996-161-81</a> C].
This was looked at in 1997: the tube is only about 4m long, but has 2
right-angle bends making it very difficult for tall people. It emerges into
the wall of a big shaft which couldn't be explored owing to lack of tackle
[<a name="qC1997-161-40" href="qmtodo.htm#C1997-161-40">C1997-161-40</a> A].
<p>There is a 15m diameter, 15m deep undescended pitch on the far side
[<a name="qC1996-161-79" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-79">C1996-161-79</a> A],
with probably an aven at the far end.
<p>On the left is a wet area where the water can be followed into a rift for
some metres, unfinished
[<a name="qC1996-161-80" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-80">C1996-161-80</a> C].
Above this, 10m of passage leads to a 4m pitch, bridged by a large rock.
traversing the bridge leads to a squalid crawl over mud which gets too small
without digging after 10m. Descending the pitch leads to about 80m of small
winding draughting passage explored as far as a chossy pitchhead
[<a name="qC1996-161-78" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-78">C1996-161-78</a> A].
<p>Right at the junction, now heading SW, a 15m passage to the foot of an
impressive aven is passed on the left. Ahead the dimensions reduce as the
rift becomes much chossier.
There is a window (exactly head sized) to a pitch on the left
[<a name="qC1996-161-82" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-82">C1996-161-82</a> C].
Twenty metres beyond, the rift can be followed back below for c20m, but the
way on is an awkward climb down through the boulder floor at the SW end. This
can be bypassed by a climb up and a bolted pitch down somewhere near here.
The rift opens out here into a wide junction. Elin Algor continues straight
ahead, <a href="fbl136.htm#twerke">Tirolia Werke</a> forks off to the right.
<p><a name="eacon">Elin Algor</a> goes another 40m, past an unexplored and
unpromising pitch through boulders in the floor on the right
[<a name="qC1996-161-94" href="qmtodo.htm#C1996-161-94">C1996-161-94</a> C],
then through a narrow traversy bit to open into the side of a very big pitch.
The far side can barely be seen
[<a name="qC1996-161-83" href="qmdone.htm#C1996-161-83">C1996-161-83</a> A].
This is about half way down the <a href="136.htm#theatre">Theatre</a> on the
<a href="136.htm#eyehole">Eyehole Route</a> of <b>Steinschlagschacht</b>, and
reached from that entrance via the exposed <a href="136.htm#thegods">Gods'

<a name="france"><h2>161 <span lang="de">Kaninchenh&ouml;hle:</span>
France</h2></a>
<h3>Overview</h3>
<p><a href="../others/l/161c.htm"><img alt="Entrance photo - 113k" width=200
height=132 align=left hspace=10 vspace=10 src="../others/t/161c.jpg"></a>
This entrance was originally explored by the
<a href="../../others/gscb/index.htm">French</a> <b lang="fr">Groupe
Sp&eacute;l&eacute;ologique de Clerval - Baume les Dames</b> under the
name VSS2 in 1988 and 1989, reaching -285m at what is now called
<a href="#titfieldt">Titfield Thunderbolt</a>. They abandoned exploration
as it was apparent that it was going to connect into 161, though in fact,
that connection at depth wasn't made until 1995 and entailed the discovery
of a large amount of very impressive passage !<br clear=all>
<p><b>France</b> was originally the name of a single
chamber, but through common usage is now the term for this entire area which
is an almost independant deep series below the 161c (French) entrance.
Connections to the rest of the cave at depth are still being explored, a
considerable distance from the main passage complex. A large chamber,
<a href="#algeria">Algeria</a>, at a depth of 250m gives access to extensive
horizontal development, <b>Flat France</b>, from which routes lead eventually
to the <a href="sftotp.htm#161d">Scarface</a> (161d) entrance and to a pitch
expected to drop back into <a href="sibria.htm#knossos">Knossos</a>.
<p>The upper, predominantly vertical, part of France described here can be
approached through the 161c entrance or via the
<a href="offtop.htm#rabbitw">Rabbit Warren</a> from below the 161a entrance.
Flat France can be reached by descending through France, the route taken by
the original explorers, but is more conveniently gained, and now more
extensively explored, through the <a href="sftotp.htm#161d">Scarface</a>
entrance.
<a name="161c"><h3>Francophobia / France
(<a href="../../years/1990/index.htm">1990</a> -
<a href="../../years/1991/index.htm">91</a>)</h3></a>
<p><center><a href="l/ffobia.htm"><img alt="Francophobia rift photo"
src="t/ffobia.jpg" width=119 height=181></a></center>
<p><a name="fphobia">The 161c</a> entrance angles in to a rift. A low bedding
ahead leads to 161b. On the right are a couple of holes. The second of these
is rigged down about 15m in a complex rift 2-3m wide to a steeply descending
12m traverse. From the end of this the pitch, <b>Francophobia</b>, drops in a
spacious rift. At the second rebelay about 30m down it is possible to swing
off 2m to the right to <a href="sidefr.htm#rcrusoe">Robinson Crusoe</a>.
<p><a name="tdice">The continuing pitch</a> drops another 10m into the
chamber originally named France, containing a 5m cubed block <b>The Dice</b>.
There are two passages out of this <b>Dice Chamber</b> back to
<a href="sidefr.htm#fc2">French Connection II</a>.
<p><a name="rotdice">Below The Dice</a> is a 25m pitch, <b>Roll of the
Dice</b>, down to a shelf. A 3m climb down through rocks to a sloping boulder
floor is possible. There is a way off about 3m up the right hand wall behind
a boulder [<a href="qmtodo.htm#C1991-161-05" name="qC1991-161-05">C1991-161-05</a> C]. At the foot
of the slope a rift goes off to the left. The is reached by climbing down
under a wedged boulder. Another 20m pitch, <a name="dejavu"><b>Deja
Vu</b></a>, into a hading rift, was the 1991 limit of exploration.
<a name="toothless"><h4>Toothless and Frogs' Legs
(<a href="../../years/1992/index.htm">1992</a>)</h4></a>
<p><b>Toothless</b> (named because the initial bolt took three spits to
drill) is a 30m pitch at the junction of two crossing rifts. Starting from a
thread, sections are 3, 3, 4.5 and 23m. A 3m drop leads to a narrow slot
(<b>Frogs' Legs I</b>, 14m). From here on, the rigging was aided by
previously placed bolts, presumably the French, last encountered on the Dice.
They must have reached this point by a parallel route. <b>Frogs' Legs II</b>
is 12m, down ledges, reaching the impressive final 41m pitch, <b>Frogs' Legs
III</b>. This has a rebelay halfway down which is astonishingly airy, in the
roof of the huge Algeria chamber.
<a name="algeria"><h3>Algeria
(<a href="../../years/1992/index.htm">1992</a>)</h3></a>
<p>This is a 15m wide, 60m long L-shaped chamber, which
appears to have been formed by collapse at the junction of two huge parallel
shafts. Algeria in fact appears to simply be a truly enormous suspended
floor. Frogs' Legs III lands about halfway along. A variety of routes leads
off, of which only the deep route through <a href="#oriente">Orient
Express</a> and the way to <b>Flat France</b> via <a href="#sultans">
Sultans of Swing</a> are dealt with here.
<a name="sultans"><h3>Sultans of Swing
(<a href="../../years/1994/index.htm">1994</a>)</h3></a>
<p>At the east corner (bottom right of the 'L') of Algeria, a route
[<a href="qmdone.htm#C1992-161-05" name="qC1992-161-05">C1992-161-05</a>]
under or over (it is rigged over) the edge of massive breakdown looks out
onto a big pitch, <b>Sultans Of Swing</b>. The <a href="sidefr.htm#sswingp">
continuing pitch</a> eventually sumps, but the eponymous 'Swing' reaches the
ramifications of <b>Flat France</b>.
<p>A ledge, written up as 15m down the pitch, but apparently 6.5m down from
the survey data, is the way into 'horizontal France'. This part of the pitch
can be bypassed by taking a slot next to the wall about 6m downhill below the
foot of Frogs' Legs III. Bearing left down here brings you out at a slightly
precarious traverse at the foot of Sultans of Swing (handline recommended).
<p>Traversing this muddy ledge leads around the continuing pitch to a wide
passage, the start of <a href="frtotp.htm">Flat France</a>, leading
into the most extensive horizontal development found by CUCC in Austria.
<a name="oriente"><h3>Orient Express
(<a href="../../years/1992/index.htm">1992</a>)</h3></a>
<p>Beneath and to the left of a large semi-detached boulder at the NNE end of
Algeria a traverse line leads to the top of <b>Orient Express</b>. A 52 metre
freehanging pitch lands near the west-hand wall of the large chamber below.
The floor, consisting mainly of loose boulders, trends downwards from north
to south. At the northern end, up the slope, an adjoining shaft with water
flowing down it can be heard. A climb of about 10m would be required to get
into this shaft, <a href="offffr.htm#skeletonc"><b>Skeleton in the
Cupboard</b></a>. Opposite the point where the rope lands a low crawl leads
off, soon becoming too tight. At the southern end of the chamber, an
impassable rift leads off, beyond which can be heard the sound of water. A 5
metre drop leads to a narrow rift with a shaft beyond, which is again too
tight. This also leads to a crawl, which rapidly becomes too tight. The main
way on is at the eastern side of the chamber
[<a href="qmdone.htm#C1992-161-03" name="qC1992-161-03">C1992-161-03</a>]:
<a name="titfieldt"><h4>Titfield Thunderbolt
(<a href="../../years/1993/index.htm">1993</a>)</h4></a>
<p>This is a short (6 metre) pitch landing in a small chamber on a sloping
boulder floor, and was the 1992 limit of exploration. There is a small
waterway behind a dividing wall on the SW side of the chamber, soon becoming
choked. At the NE end of the chamber a short climb leads to a rift that is
again too tight. There is a large shaft beyond this, and water may be heard -
this is also Skeleton in the Cupboard, and is the point where <a
href="offffr.htm#iidrive">Infinite Improbabilty Drive</a> drops in. The way
on is below the entrance to this rift.
<a name="apenetrn"><h4>Attempted Penetration &amp; beyond
(<a href="../../years/1993/index.htm">1993</a>)</h4></a>
<p><a name="disintgrn">The route</a> carries on through a tight, wet hole in
the floor, <b>Attempted Penetration</b>, at the NW end of the chamber. This
soon widens out and lands in the same chamber as the water heard through the
rift in Titfield Thunderbolt. It would be possible to rig down the shaft, but
to avoid the water a very loose boulder slope, <b>Disintegration</b>, leads
to the top of a short pitch named <a name="fatknotf"><b>Fat Knot
Fruity</b></a> (after the huge figure 8 on a bight in 11mm rope used around a
natural thread). Here the route joins the water, although it runs in a
separate streamway, divided by a perforated wall until the bottom of the next
pitch, <a name="ndecept"><b>Natural Deception</b></a>. This follows from the
bottom of the previous pitch via a short traverse, and lands on a small
rubble floor.
<a name="wfallsw"><h4>Waterfalls Walk to the End
(<a href="../../years/1993/index.htm">1993</a>)</h4></a>
<p>The route continues down over the boulders to a classic Yorkshire style
streamway. This leads to the head of the next pitch,
<a name="bbullshit"><b>Black Bullshit</b></a>, via a traverse, with a poor
hang using a long deviation to avoid the water. Going south from the bottom
of the chamber a high passageway leads quickly to a short section of tight
streamway and a small sump at -378m. At the west end of the chamber there is
a small subsidiary dry chamber.

<h2>161 Kaninchenh&ouml;hle: France to Triassic Park</h2>
<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>An extensive series of horizontal development at a similar altitude to the
other major passages in Kaninchenh&ouml;hle, but quite a distance away from
them. Most of this area is now best reached from the 161d entrance, and the
same is true of the description. However, the main route from <a
href="france.htm#france">France</a> to The Guillotine at the start of
Triassic Park is described here. As the route in this direction is most
likely to be used for a sporting through-trip rather than further
exploration, references to side passages are kept to the minimum consistent
with adequate description of the main route.
<a name="flatf"><h3>Flat France from France (1994-5)</h3></a>
<p>A short way (8m) down <a href="france.htm#sultans">Sultans of Swing,</a> a
muddy ledge may be traversed around the continuing pitch to a wide passage.
This is the start of <b>Flat France</b> - the generic name for all these
linked horizontal passages. 20m along here (SE) is a wide T-junction. Left is
<a href="offffr.htm#mmudpie">Mississippi Mud Pie</a>, whilst right is
<b>Mississippi</b> itself.
<a name="misisip"><h4>Mississippi and Fudge Brownie (1994)</h4></a>
<p>This is about 150m of pebble-covered passage, which appears as a main way
on meandering SSW, but ends in a pitch blocking progress before intersecting
the main Triassic Park to Forbidden Land axis.
<p>The first apparent side-passage, on the left (east) about 15m from
Mississippi Mud Pie, is <a href="#fbrownie">Fudge Brownie,</a> the main way
towards Triassic Park and the 161d entrance. A few metres beyond, on the
right (west) side, is the entrance to a narrow tortuous passage,
<a href="offffr.htm#mihemd">Mohr im Hemd,</a> leading to a chamber,
<a href="offffr.htm#regurgitn">Regurgitation.</a>
<p>25m beyond the main way into Fudge Brownie, also on the right,
is a second way in, rather more difficult of access.
<a href="offffr.htm#misisip">Straight on in Mississippi</a>
(treated now as a side passage) leads eventually to a pitch,
<a href="offffr.htm#bsuspend"><b>Black Suspender</b></a>,
which prevents this being a main route on.
<p><a name="fbrownie"><b>The main way</b> branches off on the left</a> (east)
side in Mississippi, a few metres before Mohr im Hemd, into <b>Fudge
Brownie</b>, a slightly inclined passage, muddy further on, and very slippery
everywhere. This can also be accessed (less easily) 25m further on down
Mississippi. Fudge Brownie heads SE for 55m where the easiest way on
(avoiding a difficult 3m climb) is through a stooping gloopy passage on the
right (the bit that gives Fudge Brownie its name).
<p><a name="13mcha">After 20m</a>, Fudge Brownie emerges at the NE side of a
13m diameter chamber with several exits. The most important exit is the least
obvious (of about seven, depending what you count). Immediately right (south)
is the way to <a href="fbland.htm#rhorror">Rocky Horror</a>, and to the
Forbidden Land. Stepping across a canyon leads into the centre of the
chamber, with a second way south the other side of a rock pillar to the
right. Here is another deep (3m+) canyon, partially obscured by rubble.
Following this to the easternmost end leads you to a narrow exit coming out
over a pitch after 2m. The traverse left over this leads to <b>French
Revolution</b>.
<p>Continuing along the bigger, left hand alternative in Fudge Brownie, in
15m another junction is reached. Left here is 10m to a
<a name="fbchoke"><b>boulder choke</b></a> coming out of an aven, thoroughly
blocking the passage. The <a href="#bcunt">Brownie's Cunt</a> emerges about
12m away on the other side of this choke. On the right at the junction is a
short difficult climb up 3m to gain an easy walking passage which parallels
the gloopy stooping bit of Fudge Brownie. About 10m beyond the climb, a small
hole in the left hand (SE) wall connects to French Revolution, while just
ahead emerges into the chamber at the start of the traverse left to the
same place.
<a name="frev"><h3>French Revolution and the way to Triassic Park
(1995)</h3></a>
<p><a name="bcunt">Over</a> the easy traverse left leads to a crouching
passage, <b>French Revolution</b>. At floor level is the hole back into Fudge
Brownie. A few metres along, French Revolution splits into three. The left
passage goes up a small climb (c1) to a squeeze (now enlarged by the removal
of some rocks), <b>Brownie's Cunt</b>.
<p><a href="l/bcunt.htm"><img alt="Brownie's Cunt Photo" align=bottom
src="t/bcunt.jpg" width=124 height=184></a> Brownie's Cunt from Zombie Slime.
<p><a name="zombie">This</a> debouches immediately in the side of <b>Zombie
Slime</b>, a bigger (3m wide) passage. The two right passages from French
Revolution join again quickly and connect to Zombie Slime orally only after
some flat out wriggling.
<p><center><a href="l/zombie.htm"><img alt="Zombie Slime pic - 40k"
src="t/zombie.jpg" width=134 height=178 align=middle></a><img alt=" "
src="../../../icons/lists/tab64.gif"><b>Zombie Slime</b></center>
<p>Left in Zombie Slime leads only 6m to the other side of a <a
href="#fbchoke">choke</a> blocking a passage in Fudge Brownie (audible
connection). Right leads along stooping and then walking passage to a wide
three way <a href="offffr.htm#zs3way">junction</a>. The main way (keep left)
leads to a chamber, with three more exits. Right is the way on.
<p><center><a href="300dpi/frev.png"><img alt="French Revolution survey -
18k gif" width=640 height=450 src="inline/frev.gif"></a></center>
<p><a name="stnwpal">20m</a> from the last chamber in Zombie Slime, up a 5m
climb (ladder useful<!-- a href="../../fixaid.htm#zstosp">left rigged</a -->)
is a hole which leads to a huge space, <b>Staud'nwirt Palace</b>. The way
through this curves left (round to the north).
<p><a name="slc">Wandering</a> along from the Palace is a beautiful
white-floored passage, <b>Salt Lake City</b>, and lots of batshit (!? - a
first for KH). This is 7-10m wide and windy!
<p><center><a href="l/slc.htm"><img alt="Salt Lake City portrait - 60k"
src="t/slc.jpg" width=124 height=180></a>
<img alt=" " src="../../../icons/lists/tab64.gif"><a href="l/slc2.htm">
<img alt="Salt Lake City Landscape - 35k" src="t/slc2.jpg" width=200
height=134></a></center>
<p>Salt Lake City curves right to a junction. Straight on goes NE as <b>the
Guillotine</b> to the start of an even bigger passage (hard to see far side)
<a href="triasp.htm#triasp"><b>Triassic Park</b></a>. To the right, a
powerful outward draught (in summer) shows <a href="tptosf.htm#critend">the
way to the 161d</a> (Scarface) entrance.

<head>
<title>Blurb describing 161 history / trip index</title>
</head>
<body>
<p>This history file is really intended to evolve into a clickable index to
every 161 (now including 136) trip write up in the log books from 1983 to
present. There are a few trips unrecorded, and a few with no time underground
recorded, so the figure of 439 trips occupying 9871&frac12; man-hours
underground (up to 1999) is undoubtedly an underestimate. Those write-ups
will then be linked with Next/Previous trip (in the same area) links, and
with cross-links to other trips on the same day. This <b>should</b> enable
you to follow a piece of exploration through in sequence, even if it
stretches over several log books, and was written up out of sequence.
<p>Not every log book is linked up, yet, partly because linking the trips
takes several hours for each log book - especially if trips are written up
wildly out of order or undated (eg. 1992) which causes considerable hair loss
:-)
<p>Note that the 161c entrance was originally explored by the
<a target="_main" href="../../others/gscb/index.htm">French</a>
<b lang="fr">Groupe Sp&eacute;l&eacute;ologique de Clerval - Baume les
Dames</b> under the name VSS2 in 1988 and 1989, reaching -285m. None of this
exploration is included here, and it should be borne in mind that much of the
T/U in "France" from 1990 is re-exploration of the GSCB finds.

<hr>
<p>The exploration history of <b lang="de">Steinschlagschacht</b>
(<a target="_main" href="136.htm">136</a>) is now included in this page,
since the cave was connected in 1997. The initial exploration of 136 predates
the discovery of <span lang="de">Kaninchenh&ouml;hle</span>.
<p>Our work in <span lang="de">Schwarzmooskogeleish&ouml;hle</span> is not
included above. All have been tourist trips prior to 1998 when serious effort
was first made to connect to 161. 1998 saw 4 trips, 68&frac12; hours, but no
connection.
