<h1>Area 1626: <span lang="de-at">Rauher - Schönberg</span></h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Within the Austrian kataster, area 1620 is the Western
|
||||||
|
<span lang="de-at">Totes Gebirge</span>. Area 1623 is the
|
||||||
|
<span lang="de-at">Loser - Augst-Eck</span> plateau (including CUCC's area)
|
||||||
|
and 1626 is the area to the north and northwest. Starting from
|
||||||
|
<span lang="de-at">Rettenbachtal</span> (the valley just beyond
|
||||||
|
<span lang="de-at">Blaa-Alm</span>, at the end of the left branch at the
|
||||||
|
start of the <span lang="de-at"><a href="../tollrd.htm">Loser
|
||||||
|
Panoramastraße</a></span>), everything to the north and west of the
|
||||||
|
valley of <span lang="de-at">Grüne Bichl</span>, is in 1626. The
|
||||||
|
boundary then follows the ridge crest of
|
||||||
|
<span lang="de-at">Schönberg</span>, then a rather ill-defined line to
|
||||||
|
the <span lang="de-at">Wildenseehütte</span>. To the east here is area
|
||||||
|
1627, and the eastern border of 1626 turns north.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>There are a number of very significant systems within the area, only one
|
||||||
|
of which has been visited by CUCC, as they tend to be difficult of access, or
|
||||||
|
very much reserved to the Austrian cavers. The latter applies particularly
|
||||||
|
to <b lang="de-at">
|
||||||
|
<a name="55" href="../noinfo/1626/55.htm">Raucherkarhöhle</a></b>
|
||||||
|
with its many entrances near the <b lang="de-at">Ischler Hütte</b>,
|
||||||
|
accessible by paths from <b lang="de-at">Rettenbach</b>. This is well
|
||||||
|
illustrated on the <span lang="de-at">Landesverein für Höhlenkunde
|
||||||
|
in Oberosterreich</span> site with text in
|
||||||
|
<a href="http://alpha.aec.at/cave/cave.html" lang="en">English</a> or
|
||||||
|
<a href="http://alpha.aec.at/cave/index.html" lang="de-at">German</a>.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The other major systems lie around the high <b lang="de-at">Hintergras</b>
|
||||||
|
and <b lang="de-at">Feuertal</b> valleys north of the
|
||||||
|
<b lang="de-at">Schönberg</b> ridge line, and reached only by immense
|
||||||
|
and steep climbs up from the north to the <b lang="de-at">Ebenseer
|
||||||
|
Hochkogelhütte</b>. The oldest and most extensive cave in this area is
|
||||||
|
<b lang="de-at"><a name="50" href="../noinfo/1626/50.htm">Ahnenschacht</a></b>,
|
||||||
|
visited by the <a href="../others/bec/index.htm">B.E.C.</a> in the late
|
||||||
|
sixties, and pushed by many other groups since.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Both French and Belgian cavers, associated with the
|
||||||
|
<a href="../others/gsab/index.htm">GSAB</a> explored a series of deep
|
||||||
|
systems in the seventies - about the same time that CUCC first visited
|
||||||
|
Austria. These include
|
||||||
|
<b lang="de-at"><a name="117" href="../noinfo/1626/117.htm">Trunkemboldschacht</a></b>
|
||||||
|
-854m; the four entrances of
|
||||||
|
<b lang="de-at"><a name="120" href="../noinfo/1626/120.htm">Feuertalsystem</a></b>
|
||||||
|
-913m; and the smaller
|
||||||
|
<b lang="de-at"><a name="122" href="../noinfo/1626/122.htm">Ufoschacht</a></b>
|
||||||
|
or <b lang="fr-be">Gouffre Ovni</b>, -565m.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Two expeditions by <a href="../others/luss/index.htm">LUSS</a> in the
|
||||||
|
late eighties explored caves on the 1623/1626 border, with all the
|
||||||
|
significant finds lying in the 1626 area. These included
|
||||||
|
<b lang="de"><a name="la11" href="la11.htm">Lungehöhle</a></b> -375m;
|
||||||
|
<b lang="de"><a name="la12" href="la12.htm">Sternloch</a></b> -331m and
|
||||||
|
<b lang="de"><a name="la34" href="la34.htm">Ratselhöhle</a></b> -425m.
|
||||||
|
Their access route was either from <span lang="de-at">Grundlsee</span> or via
|
||||||
|
the Toll road - both ways around five hour walks-in.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>As you might expect, CUCC has visited only the most accessible cave in the
|
||||||
|
area, the resurgence of
|
||||||
|
<b lang="de-at"><a name="5" href="../noinfo/1626/5.htm">Nagelsteghöhle</a></b>,
|
||||||
|
which is a pleasant five minute stroll from the bar at Blaa-Alm.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>There are approaching two hundred caves known at present in the area, but
|
||||||
|
CUCC have very few details of most of these, so, apart from those mentioned
|
||||||
|
above, they are not included in these web pages at present.

<p><b>Altitude</b>: 1839m<br>
|

|
<b>Location</b>: 13° 50' 22" E, 47° 42' 26" N<br>
|
||||||
|
150m due south of Roß Kogel summit - to north of a snowfield. In a
|
||||||
|
depression 90m due East of Sternloch and the Rock Shelter.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A large rift gives an awkward 7m ladder climb down into a chamber leading
|
||||||
|
to a boulder slope. Climb down in a rift for 8m (narrow at top) until a
|
||||||
|
loose slope leads down to a 7m pitch where a small dry inlet enters. The
|
||||||
|
pitch leads onto a rocking boulder wedged in a narrow rift and a tight
|
||||||
|
squeeze down, <b>The Jaws</b>, forms the head of the next 16m pitch and the
|
||||||
|
start of <b>Deep Throat Series</b>.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The pitch lands in a small chamber with a short walking rift exit.
|
||||||
|
Pitches of 14m, 8m and 10m follow in rapid succession. At the foot of the
|
||||||
|
10m pitch, a smooth, oval squeeze, <b>The Cnut</b> (spelling mistake), opens
|
||||||
|
onto <b>The Womb</b>. This is a fine pitch of 41m in a spacious shaft,
|
||||||
|
landing in a chamber 12m x 10m with a floor of large boulders of dubious
|
||||||
|
stability.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A rift to one side is a loose and narrow pitch of 17m to a ledge and much
|
||||||
|
nicer drop of 10m. A large rift, <b>The Large Intestine</b>, follows.
|
||||||
|
Initially traversed on wide ledges, this soon narrows to a crawl along the
|
||||||
|
rift at roof level. A 14m pitch descends to the foot of the rift and a short
|
||||||
|
section of sharp, suit-ripping rift leads to a chamber with an inlet up to
|
||||||
|
one side. The suit ripping rift can be bypassed by a pendulum, but the rope
|
||||||
|
left for this is now hanging inaccessible, so the original manoevre would
|
||||||
|
need to be repeated.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The exit from the chamber is too tight, but a 12m pitch up reaches a
|
||||||
|
muddy solution tube at roof level, originally reached by an exposed traverse
|
||||||
|
from a point halfway down the previous pitch. A slippery climb up and a
|
||||||
|
short flat-out crawl, <b>The Small Intestine</b>, leads to the head of a
|
||||||
|
constricted pitch of 10m to a wider section of the rift. After a few metres,
|
||||||
|
a pit in the floor necessitates a climb down, then back up of 5m. At this
|
||||||
|
point, a traverse follows the roof of the rift while the floor cuts down
|
||||||
|
sharply. A pair of 13m deep holes are crossed by fairly exposed traverses,
|
||||||
|
and further traversing reaches the next pitch <b>Fantasy</b>, in a shaft
|
||||||
|
which is initially about 15m in diameter.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A drop of 46m, broken by ledges covered in loose boulders, lands on a
|
||||||
|
large sloping ledge at a junction with a much larger shaft. The rubble needs
|
||||||
|
caution, as much of the rest of the pitch is in the firing line.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The next section is 58m with two deviations, close to a wall down which
|
||||||
|
some water falls. The opposite wall is some 20-30m away, and to either side,
|
||||||
|
no walls are visible. Below this section, a narrow saddle of rock splits the
|
||||||
|
shaft, the left hand route (facing the water) being taken. A further 27m
|
||||||
|
lands on an enormous (20m x 30m) flat ledge right across the shaft, with
|
||||||
|
pitches continuing both sides.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The right hand (facing the water) shaft is the continuation of the route
|
||||||
|
avoided at the rock saddle. A steep, muddy slope leads onto a 41m pitch and,
|
||||||
|
below this, a climb over a muddy boulder pile leads onto a steep ramp (rope
|
||||||
|
required) descending 15m into <b>The Dream Machine</b>. This is a massive
|
||||||
|
passage 30m wide leading through boulders the size of houses. After about
|
||||||
|
100m, a boulder pile with a large central boulder is reached. Beyond, the
|
||||||
|
passage can be seen to continue, but scaling equipment will be required to
|
||||||
|
reach it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>From the 30m x 20m ledge, the left hand shaft is undescended, but rock
|
||||||
|
tests indicate a similar depth to the right hand shaft, ie. about 50m.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>At the end of 1988, the depth is 354m with excellent potential.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Stopped at -375m, no further details at present.

|

|
<b>Location</b>: 13° 50' 20" E, 47° 42' 27" N<br>
|
||||||
|
On flat col to the south of Roß Kogel, slightly above and to the west
|
||||||
|
of a small but prominent rock shelter.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A narrow slot (1m x 5m) with a small capping roof, soon bells out to a
|
||||||
|
landing after 17m on a boulder-strewn ledge. The second pitch, <b>Virgo</b>,
|
||||||
|
follows immediately, bolt belays giving a fine hang of 21m. Ways down
|
||||||
|
through the boulder floor soon choke, but a step up into a small alcove
|
||||||
|
reveals a small hole dropping into a rift. This is the take-off for
|
||||||
|
<b>Aquarius</b>, an 85m shaft in six sections. Halfway down, the water
|
||||||
|
cascades in from the roof, usually in large quantities.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>From the base of Aquarius, traversing forwards gains a drier hang for the
|
||||||
|
next pitch of 16m. A pendulum 10m down avoids the worst of the water, which
|
||||||
|
continues down a clean circular shaft (see below).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The pendulum reaches <b>W.C.S. series</b> where two short drops in a rift
|
||||||
|
lead to a bolt rebelay in a massive jammed boulder. Just below this, a
|
||||||
|
window opens into a narrow shaft which is undescended. At the foot of the
|
||||||
|
rift, a short section of hading rift gets wetter at the head of the next
|
||||||
|
pitch, whose 11m are always lashed by spray from somewhere above.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A short traverse into a large alcove escapes the spray and facilitates a
|
||||||
|
dry hang for <b>FUDE</b>, a 14m pitch with natural belays set well back and
|
||||||
|
soft squidgy choss at the pitch head. Two climbs lead to a rift/ramp area
|
||||||
|
where the way on is tight and thrutchy. <b>Nil Desperandum</b> soon drops to
|
||||||
|
the head of a short pitch and more climbs down into a chamber.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The rift outlet is too tight, but a 5m climb up gains a bypass where a
|
||||||
|
short traverse leads to <b>Ardua</b>, a pitch of 11m. Down the slope, the
|
||||||
|
water sinks in boulders, but the way on is a slot in the wall behind a large
|
||||||
|
boulder. This immediately bells out onto <b>Astra</b>, a 38m pitch where a
|
||||||
|
pendulum onto and over a huge chocked boulder reaches bolts for the second
|
||||||
|
part of the pitch, a superb 25m drop down one end of a large rift.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Climbing down at the far end of the rift, an area of breakdown is
|
||||||
|
reached. Up the boulders, a rift enters from the right (presumed to be an
|
||||||
|
inlet, but not explored), while water can be heard away to the left.
|
||||||
|
However, the loose nature of this area, combined with the pitch below,
|
||||||
|
precluded anything more than a cursory examination.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Under the boulders, a short pitch lands in a chamber where the water is
|
||||||
|
rejoined shortly before it cascades over the lip of another large shaft, the
|
||||||
|
limit of exploration in 1987.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The pitch is 57m and quite wet, dropping into a sizeable chamber (50m x
|
||||||
|
10m and 40m high), <b>The Planetarium</b>. This chamber is formed along a
|
||||||
|
fault, with breakdown littering the floor. At one end, under a large
|
||||||
|
waterfall, is a pitch between the wall and the boulders. This drops 15m into
|
||||||
|
an extremely loose boulder choke <b>Religious Places</b>, with no way on. No
|
||||||
|
other route out could be found from the Planetarium, giving an overall depth
|
||||||
|
of 331m.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The wet way on from the bottom of Aquarius descends pitches of 7m and
|
||||||
|
27m. The latter is arguably the best pitch of the cave, hanging free for 23m
|
||||||
|
beside a column of water. Unfortunately, the way on is a tiny impassable
|
||||||
|
rift.

|
(<a href="la12.htm"> LA12</a>) approx. 200m SE of
|
||||||
|
<a href="la11.htm">LA11</a>.<br> This is borderline 1626 or 1623
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Originally thought to be a choked shaft, it was noted as "worth
|
||||||
|
another look" in 1987, but was not relocated in 1988. Closer inspection
|
||||||
|
with a ladder revealed parallel slots in the rift and a noticeable draught.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The original entrance is a "walk-in" open shaft which leads on
|
||||||
|
to a twisted vertical pitch of 17m, <b>Parthos</b>, into a sizeable chamber
|
||||||
|
at the top of a rubble slope. The obvious small wriggle at the bottom of the
|
||||||
|
slope leads to the <b>Musketeers' Series</b>, while a bolted climb leads to
|
||||||
|
the main way on.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The Musketeers' Series consists of stooping phreatic passages, with a 5m
|
||||||
|
pitch, then a couple of climbs to the head of an 11m pitch, <b>Aramis</b>,
|
||||||
|
into a chamber. At the far end, a further pitch, <b>Athos</b>, is 8m. The
|
||||||
|
way on is up a short climb to the head of a 5m+10m ramp, <b>Porthos</b>,
|
||||||
|
down to a phreatic tube with a silted up floor. Digging in the silt revealed
|
||||||
|
a tight rift rising up, but as this was too tight, the dig was abandoned.
|
||||||
|
The water from Aramis descends a tight rift in the base of the phreatic
|
||||||
|
tube, but after 3m, this too became too tight.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The climb up before the Musketeers' Series leads quickly to a T-junction.
|
||||||
|
To the right, a winding ramp passage of decreasing size leads on and up with
|
||||||
|
several fallen blocks making progress awkward. This route ends at a small
|
||||||
|
chamber with an inlet dropping from the roof. Left from the T-junction leads
|
||||||
|
on down a gently sloping boulder ramp in stooping, then walking passage.
|
||||||
|
This increases in size and becomes steeper before emerging into the side of
|
||||||
|
an enormous boulder ramp, <b>Hillsborough Revisited</b>. The inlet passage
|
||||||
|
enters three quarters of the way up Hillsborough, which is 10m wide by 5m
|
||||||
|
high and drops a total of 40m at 40°. At the base of Hillsborough, an
|
||||||
|
aven rises to the surface and daylight can be seen reflecting off the sides
|
||||||
|
of this second entrance. A third entrance was discovered on the surface
|
||||||
|
which leads down a deep grike through a tight arch and into a small chamber.
|
||||||
|
Digging boulders revealed a steeply inclined squeeze leading onto a pitch at
|
||||||
|
the top of the Hillsborough ramp. The base of this pitch leads onto an
|
||||||
|
inclined overhanging terrace with a hole at the back which drops 2m onto
|
||||||
|
another inclined overhanging terrace. A 4m climb down from this ledge ends
|
||||||
|
at the top of the boulder ramp of Hillsborough.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The base of Hillsborough was blind until a dig in unstable boulders on
|
||||||
|
the left hand side revealed a tight drop between two wedged boulders into
|
||||||
|
another very sizeable ramp, <b>Penistone Road</b>. This ramp is convoluted
|
||||||
|
and twists around open shafts and roof collapse to end in a huge chamber
|
||||||
|
with a small muddy hole in the floor, <b>The Hole in the Road</b>. This way
|
||||||
|
on is blind.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>An alternative route from the main ramp of Penistone Road leads down an
|
||||||
|
old phreatic tube decorated with calcite frost and numerous small helictites
|
||||||
|
to a flat-out crawl to a 25m blind pitch.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Near the bottom of the Hole in the Road, a 6m rope climb up the eastern
|
||||||
|
wall, <b>The Escalator</b>, leads to a series of solution tubes. A 1m
|
||||||
|
diameter tube drops NE into <b>The Broadwalk</b>, a sizeable mud-floored
|
||||||
|
phreatic passage. Here, following a strong draught, the passage opens up,
|
||||||
|
becoming very high with a number of avens cutting down into the passage. A
|
||||||
|
4m rope climb drops down to the head of a pitch, <b>Reason to Believe?</b>.
|
||||||
|
This dry shaft is disjointed and 144m deep, broken at approximately half
|
||||||
|
depth by a 'saddle'. A further short pitch lands on a slope before the final
|
||||||
|
drop into a sizeable chamber. The only exit from this chamber is to the east
|
||||||
|
and is a muddy rift passage traversed at various levels. This leads to the
|
||||||
|
head of a further series of disjointed shafts and the wet 77m pitch <b>More
|
||||||
|
than a Feeling</b>. Here a 57m drop lands on a spray-lashed ledge and a
|
||||||
|
further 20m drop gives way to a large boulder slope. Two wet 2m climbs lead
|
||||||
|
up to the head of a 7m pitch which leads to the base of the shaft.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Through the small passage across the base of the shaft, a climb down
|
||||||
|
through boulders leads to a rift streamway. Only a short way down is an 11m
|
||||||
|
pitch followed immediately by a 17m pitch, <b>Leonie's Birthday Leap</b>.
|
||||||
|
The stream leads on once more until it cuts away and a traverse along a
|
||||||
|
muddy rift passage leads to the head of a fault collapse chamber running
|
||||||
|
away at an angle of 70°. Over 20m above the stream a distinctly dodgy
|
||||||
|
rope climb/abseil leads to a point where a climb back around rejoins the
|
||||||
|
stream. A further 8m rope climb leads to the last 19m pitch which drops into
|
||||||
|
a sump at a depth of 425m.

<h2>Altausseer See north shore vauclusian risings</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>A walk around Altausseer See reveals few streams flowing in to the lake,
|
||||||
|
but a sizeable river flowing out, fuelling speculation that there were
|
||||||
|
one or more underwater risings in the lake. CUCC were told that an area
|
||||||
|
along the northern edge of the lake, below the cliffs of Steinwand, did
|
||||||
|
not freeze over in winter, despite the rest of the lake being fit for
|
||||||
|
skating and curling for most of the season.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>This part of the lake was dived by John Cordingley, Andy Goddard, Mike
|
||||||
|
Thomas and Phil Murphy, members of the Cave Diving Group, in 1989. The dives
|
||||||
|
were most notable for the discovery of a body and recovery of a right
|
||||||
|
humerus, belonging to someone who had drowned in 1955, but the source of the
|
||||||
|
water was also found. Water rises in many tiny blowholes in a 30m square
|
||||||
|
area at a depth of -36m, each blowing up sand up to 1.5m above the lake bed.

||||||
|

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Further dives by CDG with Hubert Gaisberger and Wolfgang Gasperl (divers
|
||||||
|
from the local fire brigade) revealed no way into the system, but did
|
||||||
|
recover the foot belonging to the leg. The very hung-over group also had
|
||||||
|
great fun with the fire-brigade's big red speedboat.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Although one of the divers suggested the name "Rancid dead person
|
||||||
|
spring", it seems more appropriate to use "Steinwandquelle", as suggested
|
||||||
|
by John Cordingley.

1623: Altausseer See to Hochklapf area

<h1>N & NE shore of Altauseer See</h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Altausseer See is a 2 km long glacier-carved lake south of the Loser
|
||||||
|
plateau. Its north shore lies on a significant fault which marks the
|
||||||
|
SE boundary of the block of limestone of which Loser is made. A number
|
||||||
|
of small resurgences feed the lake, but in dry weather none of those
|
||||||
|
above the surface carry anything other than very local drainage.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Within the lake are a number of <a href="0.htm">underwater
|
||||||
|
resurgences</a>. These appear to lie on the fault itself, and explain
|
||||||
|
why the deepest points of certain caves coincide with the level of
|
||||||
|
Altausseer See at 712m above sea level.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>In much wetter weather, water emerges from flood risings on the north
|
||||||
|
shore or much higher on the hillside. The closest to the lake,
|
||||||
|
<a href="../noinfo/aaussee/2.htm">Wasserlöcher</a>,
|
||||||
|
is associated with a significant cave,
|
||||||
|
<a href="../noinfo/aaussee/1.htm">Liägerhöhle</a>. Another major
|
||||||
|
stream course enters the lake further west, near some boat houses and places
|
||||||
|
or refreshment at the end of the motorable road. This is normally dry, but
|
||||||
|
apparently carries huge volumes of flood water from risings at about 1080m in
|
||||||
|
<b>Kiler Lahn</b>, a steep gully. We know of no documented caves in this
|
||||||
|
gully, which is in a rather inaccessible position.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>To the northeast of the lake, ("behind" it, as seen from the village of
|
||||||
|
Altaussee) a glacier-carved valley rises to the pass of Hochklapf Sattel. A
|
||||||
|
steep path can be followed up through woodland to join the
|
||||||
|
<a href="../smkridge/via201.htm">Stögerweg path</a> from the
|
||||||
|
<a href="../smkridge/index.htm">Stellerweghöhle area</a>, which
|
||||||
|
continues NE to <a href="../wilden/index.htm">Wildensee</a>. There are
|
||||||
|
<a href="../noinfo/aaussee/51.htm">a few caves</a> west of this path, below
|
||||||
|
the cliffs of Weiße Wand.

<h1>Area 1623: Loser-AugstEck plateau</h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Within the Austrian kataster, area 1620 is the Western Totes Gebirge. Area
|
||||||
|
1623 is the Loser - Augst-Eck plateau, bounded to the SE by path 234 from the
|
||||||
|
Wildenseehutte down to Altausseer See, to the south by the lake itself, then
|
||||||
|
to the SW by the road to Blaa-Alm. The Western edge is marked by the valley
|
||||||
|
of Grüne Bichl, and the northern limit is the ridge crest of
|
||||||
|
Schönberg, then a rather ill-defined line back to the
|
||||||
|
Wildenseehütte. Within this area, by far the majority of caves are above
|
||||||
|
1500m in an area from around Augst See, along the major ridge line of
|
||||||
|
Schwarzmooskogel towards Augst-Eck (forming a long strip on the SE of the
|
||||||
|
area), and across the plateau west of Schwarzmooskogel.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Access to the area is relatively easy at its southern edge, as the <a
|
||||||
|
href="tollrd.htm">Loser Panoramastraße</a> (a toll road) climbs the
|
||||||
|
southern slopes of Loser to reach a large parking area and self-service
|
||||||
|
restaurant at 1600m just below Augst See. From here, good paths reach both
|
||||||
|
the southern slopes of Vd. Schwarzmooskogel, and also north to a col
|
||||||
|
overlooking the extensive pathless central plateau. Both the further reaches
|
||||||
|
of the central plateau and the areas around the Schönberg, Gries Kogel
|
||||||
|
and Augst-Eck ridges are remote - being large pathless areas of rough karren
|
||||||
|
with little or no water supplies except for snowmelt.

|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>There are approaching two hundred caves known at present in the area, so
|
||||||
|
for convenience, we have broken the area down into smaller areas, with a
|
||||||
|
number of related caves in each. Some of these areas are natural - separated
|
||||||
|
by clear geographic boundaries like big cliffs, or areas of non-karstic
|
||||||
|
rocks. Others are more arbitrary, and are defined more by route of access
|
||||||
|
than by any real geographical distinction. Apart from a few caves found in
|
||||||
|
the first couple of years, CUCC's work has been confined to just the first
|
||||||
|
four of these smaller areas, though the map overlaps onto most of the others.

CUCC's Austria Base Camps

<h1>Base Camp</h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The first CUCC expeditions camped courtesy of Fritz Madlmeier (who annually
|
||||||
|
plied us with free beer on arrival and departure) at his campsite by the
|
||||||
|
lake in Altaussee, with splendid views of the Trisselberg and very
|
||||||
|
convenient for the <a href="tollrd.htm">Loser Panoramastraße</a>, as
|
||||||
|
well as various local hostelries.

<p>Eventually we outgrew his rather restricted space and moved to the other
|
||||||
|
side of Bad Aussee, at
|
||||||
|
<a href="http://www.aussee.at/staudnwirt/staudnwirtengl.htm">Gasthof Staud'nwirt</a>, by
|
||||||
|
the road to Grundlsee. Here Hilde and Karin Wilpernig have made us very
|
||||||
|
welcome for many years, and have provided us with many luxuries including
|
||||||
|
some office space in 1984 and use of the "Potato Hut" ever since, which has
|
||||||
|
sported a fridge for cold beer since 1995 ! So vital is this to expo morale
|
||||||
|
that <a href="smkridge/161/fbland.htm#ealgor">some passage</a> has been named
|
||||||
|
after it.

<h1>Bräuning Alm and Bräuning Kunntal</h1>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Following marked path 201 (Stögerweg) from the Bergrestaurant
|
||||||
|
northwest, a signposted junction is met, below a ski-lift. Left here leads
|
||||||
|
over the minor peak of Lackerbichl and on to Bräuning Alm. To the NW
|
||||||
|
of this peak is the closed depression of Bräuning Kunntal, a doline
|
||||||
|
deep enough to merit a ski-lift climbing out of it. Two small springs,
|
||||||
|
below the rim to ENE and ESE, feed into a bog with no speleological
|
||||||
|
potential.
|
||||||

|
||||||
|
Bräuning Alm and the Bräuning Wall.</center>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Bräuning Alm is more conveniently approached by continuing on the
|
||||||
|
main path to a further signposted junction at <a href="../egglgrub/index.htm">
|
||||||
|
Egglgrube</a>. Ahead, the path climbs a small scar, but left, posted to
|
||||||
|
Bräuning Zinken, the path traverses above a small valley to reach a
|
||||||
|
group of huts serving the summer pasture of Bräuning Alm. Springs below
|
||||||
|
the huts feed into sinks in the valley bottom, but these offer no
|
||||||
|
significant cave.

grassy area, used by CUCC for a brief top camp
|
||||||
|
(<a href="../tcamps.htm#1977camp">camp 1</a>) in 1977. There are a few
|
||||||
|
entrances in the limestone here, and more in the valley north of the huts,
|
||||||
|
leading toward the col of Bräuning Sattel. Areas of scars between this
|
||||||
|
valley and the ridge used by the <a href="../plateau/walkin.htm">path to the
|
||||||
|
plateau</a> have not been looked at in any detail by CUCC, but are thought to
|
||||||
|
have been prospected by the Austrians with no results.

<p>A view from the junction of paths at Egglgrube. Off right, out of the
|
||||||
|
picture, is the continuing path 201 towards the Stellerweg area. Off left is
|
||||||
|
the arriving path 201 from the Bergrestaurant. Ahead is the small valley
|
||||||
|
full of choked sinkholes which leads up to Bräuning Alm. The walk-in to
|
||||||
|
the plateau goes up here towards the Bräuning Wall, seen on the
|
||||||
|
skyline. The 1977 high camp was on a flat grassy area behind the sunlight
|
||||||
|
limestone in the centre of the view. The path crosses the wooded slopes
|
||||||
|
above this, and reaches the plateau via the col of Schwarzmoossattel, just
|
||||||
|
where the skyline crosses the right hand edge of the photo.

<p>This is a view of the huts of Bräuning Alm seen from the most
|
||||||
|
frequently used path approaching the Schwarzmoossattel and the plateau. The
|
||||||
|
nearest sunlit patch of pasture, to the left of the photo, was the site of
|
||||||
|
the 1977 high camp, situated here as the springs left of the huts were the
|
||||||
|
nearest water supply we had then discovered to the plateau. A few caves
|
||||||
|
nearby were explored, but most work was done by walking a further ten-fifteen
|
||||||
|
minutes to reach the plateau.

<p>Water sinking in the huge closed depression of Bräuning Kunntal
|
||||||
|
(left) rises from small springs on the near side of a broad grassy col at
|
||||||
|
Bräuning Alm (shepherds' huts, right of centre). Springs on the other
|
||||||
|
side of the col were the water supply for the 1977 high camp. There has been
|
||||||
|
little found of speleological interest in this area of pasture. CUCC's route
|
||||||
|
to the plateau passes the huts and ascends the rocky pine-covered slopes
|
||||||
|
behind, to the col to the right of the Bräuning wall.
|
||||||

Kaninchenhöhle is on the sunny slopes of the Hinterer Schwarzmooskogel
|

on the skyline to the right.

This is just off the path now used by CUCC on the walk-in to the current Top

Camp at the edge of the plateau. The three cavers (Julian Griffiths, Nick

Reckert and Steve Perry) are just getting ready for a trip into 1623/95, an
|

|
open shaft just behind the photographer. Note that all are in wetsuits !

<p>A number of other descriptions are derived from individual club

translated, we believe that copyright in the translation lies with the

|
granted to CUCC. Where original publication was in English (material from
|

|
Bristol Exploration Club, University of Bristol Speleological Society and
|
||||||
|
Lancaster University Speleological Society), then copyright undoubtedly lies
|
||||||
|
with those organisations or with the individual authors. Permission has been
|
||||||
|
sought to include such material in the archive, but neither CUCC nor the

direct.

|
<p><b>Photographs</b>: Where scanned photographs or images digitised from
|

|
video are included, the copyright information for the original photograph is
|

included in the html page which includes the fullsized image. In almost all

cases, the html files, page layout and image manipulation used to produce an

<p>There is a list of all the individual
|
||||||
|
<a href="folk/author.htm">contributors</a> to this archive, who ultimately
|

|
own copyright to the original articles. As almost everyone on an expedition
|
||||||

writes something in the logbook, see the list of

<a href="folk/index.htm">expedition members</a> for a pretty inclusive list of

<p>Where no address is given, please approach the webmaster

<p>And finally ... material written specifically for this archive tries to be

as objective, accurate and up-to-date as possible. Individual articles and

|
or 'official' position reflects our best efforts at understanding, but should
|

not be taken as an authoritative source. Errors, omissions and

|
misunderstandings are inevitable, especially when there are language
|

barriers and only one visit to the area each year. Legal positions,
|

Visiting CUCC's Caves
|

|
</title>

|
||||||
|
<body>
|
||||||
|
<center><h1>Warning and disclaimer</h1></center>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Many of the caves described in these pages are in a Nature Reserve
|
||||||
|
(Naturschutzgebiet), in which permission is legally required (and most often
|
||||||
|
denied) for both caving and camping. Austria has a very strict cave
|
||||||
|
conservation ethic - permission to cave is unlikely to be granted without
|
||||||
|
the support of the local caving organisation, who are currently discouraging
|
||||||
|
new exploration by any groups who have not previously worked in the area.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Care should be taken where possible to stick to existing paths. Be aware
|
||||||
|
that knowing the coordinates of a cave, and/or bearings to prominent
|
||||||
|
landmarks, is no guarantee of being able to find it in the intricate and
|
||||||
|
confusing limestone karren fields. Marking of caves or routes by paint is
|
||||||
|
now strongly discouraged, more discrete metal tags being used instead. This
|
||||||
|
makes caves even harder to spot from any distance away.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Many of the caves were explored up to twenty years ago, using 8mm
|
||||||
|
self-drilling anchors - the hangers were removed. Not all of these were
|
||||||
|
well-placed, and some were placed for ladders, not SRT. All will have
|
||||||
|
deteriorated, even though, in most cases, they were greased during derigging.
|
||||||
|
Some of them are very hard to find (even with a detailed rigging guide) and
|
||||||
|
omission of a critical rebelay or deviation can render a pitch much more
|
||||||
|
dangerous either through abrasion or through greater exposure to floodwater.
|
||||||
|
Many of the caves contain loose rock, many are subject to rapid flooding with
|
||||||
|
very cold runoff water. Rocks can move, ice formations can form in different
|
||||||
|
places each year and may be in a greater or lesser state of decomposition
|
||||||
|
during the summer. What may have been safe rigging during the original
|
||||||
|
exploration may not be safe today. Snow plugs on entrance pitches may
|
||||||
|
collapse without warning. Other hazards may exist of which the original
|
||||||
|
explorers were unaware.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Please take these caves as you find them and treat their descent as if it
|
||||||
|
was original exploration. It is up to the individual to satisfy his or
|
||||||
|
herself that the descent is safe, that any belays used or reused are sound.
|
||||||
|
CUCC does not maintain any of the anchors or fixed ropes in the caves except
|
||||||
|
during their own continuing explorations and even then cannot guarantee their
|
||||||
|
safety. Neither CUCC nor any member or guest of a CUCC expedition can be held
|
||||||
|
responsible for any accident occurring to third parties descending any of the
|
||||||
|
caves described here, even if using equipment placed by such persons. If you
|
||||||
|
are not prepared to assume responsibility for your own safety, please stay
|
||||||
|
out of these caves or take suitable training to ensure that you can assess
|
||||||
|
and deal with the risks.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Be aware that it can take considerable time for any rescue effort to be
|
||||||
|
organised in this location, so visitors should aim to be self-reliant.
|
||||||
|
Although the Austrian rescue organisation may be able to call upon the
|
||||||
|
services of a helicopter, these cannot fly at night, and military operations
|
||||||
|
will take priority over civilian rescue. You'll need a fluent german speaker
|
||||||
|
(ie. able to converse accurately over the phone) to be able to make contact
|
||||||
|
with the rescue service at all. It is in your interest to make contact with
|
||||||
|
any other cavers or expeditions in the area, as well as the local caving
|
||||||
|
groups, <b>before</b> any rescue effort is required. It is also your moral
|
||||||
|
responsibility to offer assistance in the event that another group is
|
||||||
|
involved in a rescue situation. Unlike rescues in the UK, which tend to use
|
||||||
|
huge numbers of haulers, very few Austrian cavers are available for any
|
||||||
|
given rescue.
|
||||||
|
It may be helpful to read the <a href="handbook/rescue.htm">Rescue Guide</a>
|
||||||
|
which CUCC uses on its expeditions.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Finally, information presented here is gathered together from a wide
|
||||||
|
variety of sources, from detailed reports written at the time of exploration
|
||||||
|
to word-of-mouth from memory many years later. Although every care has been
|
||||||
|
taken to ensure that it is correct (for our own use if nothing else :-),
|
||||||
|
<b>neither CUCC nor the editors of this archive make any warranty as to the
|
||||||
|
accuracy or currency of anything presented here</b>. In <b>ALL</b> cases, any
|
||||||
|

misunderstandings are inevitable, especially when there are language barriers
|
||||||
|
and only one visit to the area each year. Legal positions, regulations,
|

policies and responsible bodies all change, and the latest situation may not
|

yet have come to our attention. In no case can CUCC or the authors of

<h2>Austrian Deep and Long caves</h2>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Most of this information is from the World Deep and Long caves
|
||||||
|
<a href="http://www.pipeline.com/~caverbob/home.html">lists</a>
|
||||||
|
maintained by Bob Gulden of the NSS Geo² committee, and from the
|
||||||
|
<a href="http://www.inria.fr/agos-sophia/sis/DB/database.html">
|
||||||
|
database maintained by Eric Madelaine</a> - hence although
|
||||||
|
only Austrian caves are listed, the sequence number is a world ranking.
|
||||||
|
Information is a little sparse <800m or <20km, so any
|
||||||
|
additions or corrections are welcome.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>This extract from the lists will go out of data very quickly (except with
|
||||||
|
respect to caves explored by CUCC, where it can be considered definitive). It was last synched on 1999.09.28. Check the original lists if you want to be up to date.

1623: Egglgrube area
|
||||||
|
</title>
|

</head>
|
||||||
|
<body>
|
||||||
|
<center><h1>Egglgrube and Scharlingkar area</h1></center>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
This area lies east of the Bergrestaurant, SE of the main Loser to
|
||||||
|
Bräuning Zinken ridge. Best seen from the summit of Sommersitz,
|
||||||
|
the area is bounded to the SE by the first of a line of cliffs dropping
|
||||||
|
towards Altausseer See and the valley to its NE. This cliff is Scharlingkar,
|
||||||
|
and the pasture above it is Egglgrubenalm.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Following marked path 201 (Stögerweg) from the Bergrestaurant
|
||||||
|
northwest, the start of the area lies below and to the right. Above and to
|
||||||
|
the left initially is the <a href="../loser/index.htm">Augst See area</a>.
|
||||||
|
After passing below the small peak of Sommersitz, a signposted junction is
|
||||||
|
met, below a ski-lift. Left here leads over the minor peak of Lackerbichl and
|
||||||
|
on to <a href="../br-alm/index.htm">Bräuning Alm</a>. Continuing on the
|
||||||
|
main path leads to a further signposted junction at <b>Egglgrube</b>, marked
|
||||||
|
on the map. Left again leads to Bräuning Alm, ahead, the path climbs a
|
||||||
|
small scar, leading to the eastern side of <a
|
||||||
|
href="../smkridge/index.htm">Schwarzmooskogel ridge</a> in the
|
||||||
|
Stellerweghöhle area. A little used and barely discernible path leads
|
||||||
|
right, and back SW below the initial approach, past a hut at the bottom of a
|
||||||
|
ski lift to a group of older huts.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>An alternative approach starts from just above the (right hand) hairpin of
|
||||||
|
the toll road, dropping down towards the top of Scharlingkar, and then
|
||||||
|
contouring to reach the huts. This is the original path from the Loser
|
||||||
|
Hütte, predating the building of the toll road, which explains its
|
||||||
|
somewhat illogical-seeming point of departure.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Most of the caves listed in this area are very near Egglgrube itself,
|
||||||
|
which seems to have been investigated in the early years of exploration in
|
||||||
|
the area. The area also includes odd caves near or below the path from the
|
||||||
|
Bergrestaurant.

<dd>Recommended by the local cavers, this 200m almost-a-free-hang cliff

provides mind-bending sport, probably not to be repeated by any of those

<dt><b><a name="bier">Bier drinking</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>In the "early days" Expo used to drink Reininghaus Bier in the Bar
|
||||||
|
Fischer in Altaussee, as we didn't have a good socialising tent (or potato
|
||||||
|
hut) to drink the more economic bottled variety. Nowadays, bier
|
||||||
|
<a href="piclinks/phut1.htm"><img src="tinypix/phut1.jpg" width=170
|
||||||
|
height=143 align=left hspace=10></a> comes dead cheap, in crates, from the
|
||||||
|
supermarket (and the preferred brand is
|
||||||
|
<a href="http://www.goesser.at/" lang="de-at">Gösser</a>). Expo always
|
||||||
|
maintains a tally of bottled beers drunk, so that the right people get
|
||||||
|
charged for it - and so we can report how many metric tons we got through
|
||||||
|
each year. There is a corresponding Limonade tally.<br clear=all>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<dt><b><a name="cake">Cake</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>Austrians do pretty good cakes for pigging out on calorie-restoration
|
||||||
|
days when veggie-slop just isn't enough. It's best to point and say "Ein
|
||||||
|
stuck bitte" rather than try to ask for exactly what you want. One person's
|
||||||
|
mega-sticky-chocoloate-cake arrived as a cup of cocoa through trying to be
|
||||||
|
too clever.

||||||

<dt><b><a name="canoe">Canoeing</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>on the lake is a pleasant way to cool off for all and sundry. There are
|
||||||
|
also white water rivers, from the easy (ie. they need a bit of rain) to the
|
||||||
|
"sporting" delights of the Traun from Bad Aussee to Hallstatt - in a deep
|
||||||
|
valley nowhere near an escape route. This was first done by Vic Brown (6th in
|
||||||
|
women's K1 slalom at the 1972 Olympics) with an assortment of exCS "Victims".
|
||||||
|
More relaxing is to paddle from Grundlsee back to
|
||||||
|
<a href="bcamps.htm">Basecamp</a>, but watch out for Hilde's weir:

<dt><b><a name="cars">Car-fixing</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>Owing to being mainly impoverished students, expo has an annual crop of
|
||||||
|
shit cars which limp across Europe with infeasibly large loads and equally
|
||||||
|
crap trailers <a href="piclinks/trailr.htm"><img width=170 height=143
|
||||||
|
src="tinypix/trailr.jpg" align=right hspace=10></a> which provides for
|
||||||
|
<a href="years/1995/log.htm#trailerepic">epic</a> travel. This usually
|
||||||
|
results in at least one car being fettled at any time during expo, which
|
||||||
|
provides relaxing spectator sport for everyone else in
|
||||||
|
<a href="bcamps.htm">Basecamp</a> at the time. One chariot which was more
|
||||||
|
reliable than most, until its eventual demise through old age and several
|
||||||
|
visits to Austria was Rover Richardson: <a href="piclinks/rover.htm">

<dt><b><a name="cycle">Cycling</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>Far more people seem to travel by bike in Austria than in the UK despite
|
||||||
|
the obvious disadvantages of (a) ridiculous heat or (b) it pissing buckets
|
||||||
|
and (c) it's <b>very</b> hilly. However, cycling <b>down</b> the
|
||||||
|
<a href="tollrd.htm">toll road</a> is very pleasant, or can be very exciting,
|
||||||
|
depending on whether or not you are trying to break the club record of under
|
||||||
|
ten minutes or it is (again) pissing buckets. Most people foolish enough to
|
||||||
|
do it at all, only cycle <b>up</b> the toll road <b>once</b> (but there are
|
||||||
|
exceptions, even to this rule).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<dt><b><a name="dachstein">Dachstein climbing</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd><img align=left src="tinypix/dbahn.jpg" width=128 height=152 hspace=10>
|
||||||
|
<img src="tinypix/dachx.jpg" width=145 height=285 align=right hspace=10>
|
||||||
|
This is the fine peak with glacier visible from the
|
||||||
|
<a href="tollrd.htm">toll road</a> on a clear day. Although the postcards
|
||||||
|
would have you believe it is a 3k peak, this is really only 2994m, not that
|
||||||
|
this detracts from a fine day out. One look at the "via ferrata" up the
|
||||||
|
south-facing cliff is enough to convince everyone of the wisdom of investing
|
||||||
|
in a seilbahn ticket up to the glacier, where summer skiing is possible if
|
||||||
|
you are early enough. The climb itself is fun, and well-equipped with great
|
||||||
|
reinforcing bar handholds everywhere, which probably explains the drongo
|
||||||
|
density - a helmet or a suitable turn of speed are advised to avoid
|
||||||
|
stone-fall.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>It can be done in a day <a href="years/1990/log.htm#dachstein">on
|
||||||
|
foot from Hallstatt</a>, but only if you are <b>very</b> fit.

<dd><img align=left src="tinypix/dinghy.jpg" width=225 height=201 hspace=10>
|
||||||
|
One of a plethora of festering activities centred around the conveniently
|
||||||
|
nearby, but out of earshot of the campsite, lake (Grundlsee). Parking has
|
||||||
|
become a problem if you have too much gear, but an inflatable dinghy is one
|
||||||
|
of the most easily carried bits of kit, thus avoiding the parking meters.<br

<dt><b><a name="dive">Diving</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>There is not much scope for cave diving in CUCC's caves, though some has
|
||||||
|
been done in nearby resurgences. However, for relaxing by the lake, a set of
|
||||||
|
scuba gear and wetsuit or Michelin-man drysuit are ideal. The water is clear,
|
||||||
|
and in Grundlsee lies an underwater habitat which is fun to visit, and an old
|
||||||
|
lorry which is "verboten".
|
||||||
|
<a href="years/1989/log.htm#1989-dive-1">Diving in Altausseer See</a>
|
||||||
|
revealed not the hoped for resurgence, but a few bits of 50's vintage human
|
||||||
|
remains. Still it got us a go in the Feuerwehr's big red rescue boat :-)

<dd><img align=right src="tinypix/julian.jpg" width=170 height=143 hspace=10>
|
||||||
|
Not for the complete beginner is the mind-bending takeoff from a ramp at the
|
||||||
|
top of the <a href="tollrd.htm">Toll-road</a>. On early expos, everyone
|
||||||
|
thought that this was only for loonies, but now a small contingent of
|
||||||
|
C.U.Hang-gliding Club have shown that it is even possible to land in a tree
|
||||||
|
and survive.<br clear=all>

<dt><b><a name="fryup">High-frying</a></b>

||||||
|
<dd><a href="images/chips.jpg"><img width=160 height=128 align=left hspace=10
|
||||||
|
src="tinypix/chips.jpg"></a>This is a sort of Russian-roulette with the base
|
||||||
|
camp barbecue. A large Dutch Oven is filled far too full with oil, perched on
|
||||||
|
the swinging barbecue above a large open fire and used to fry chips (at which
|
||||||
|
point it almost overflows onto said fire). A swinging barbecue is ideal for
|
||||||
|
getting lumps of meat off without getting burnt, but less than perfect when
|
||||||
|
the victim is set the task of getting a large hot pan of chips off. Needless
|
||||||
|
to say, we survived....<br clear=all>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<dt><b><a name="hydro">Hydro-speeding</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>Ideally, this means body-surfing down a river with a flat thing to
|
||||||
|
ride on to protect chest and arms from rocks, and with fins (flippers
|
||||||
|
to you) to give some degree of control. Needless to say, CUCC's version
|
||||||
|
involved a body board or an inner tube on the river from Grundlsee down
|
||||||
|
to Basecamp. "Reasonable" water levels are required, and getting out
|
||||||
|
to walk round the weir is strongly recommended. <i>"Interesting to find out
|
||||||
|
how wet it can get before you hurt yourself or drown"</i> (Wookey).
|
||||||

|

|
<dt><b><a name="ices">Ice creams</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>Austrians do ice creams every bit as good as their sticky cakes - and
|
||||||
|
with the advantage of Schlagobers to appeal to the calorifically-challenged.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<dt><b><a name="mihs">Mohr-im-Hemd</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>No, not the <a href="smkridge/161/offffr.htm#mihemd">passage</a> in
|
||||||
|
Kaninchenhöhle, but the death-by-chocolate pudding which it was named
|
||||||
|
after. The first challenge is to persuade the other attendees at the expo
|
||||||
|
dinner to pay for the game if you win. The second challenge is to eat ten of
|
||||||
|
these delicacies and not throw up for at least five minutes.
|
||||||
|
It has been done :-)

Used to occur from Fritz's jetty when <a href="bcamps.htm">Basecamp</a> was
|
||||||
|
at Altaussee, but is now more likely to be an excuse for a trip to Hallstatt,

|

|
Festering in the evenings, or daytime in the rain, generally takes place in
|
||||||
|
Hilde's "Potato Hut", so called because it is the meeting place of the
|
||||||
|
"Potato Club". <img src="tinypix/bc94.jpg" width=137 height=109 align=left

hspace=10> This august local organisation exists mainly to drink
|

potato-derived alcohol, and engage in curling on Hilde's ice - more usually a

lake at the time of year of our visit.<br clear=all>

<dt><b><a name="radio">Radio-fettling</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>Ever since we had a set of really excellent communications equipment on
|
||||||
|
evaluation from Philips in 1990, until the advent of mobile phones on expo
|
||||||
|
1999, expo hankered after a working set of CB-type radios. Top Camp to Base
|
||||||
|
Camp is not line of sight, and thus needed a repeater, which (a) didn't work
|
||||||
|
or (b) worked all the time and flattened its battery or (c) cut in and out
|
||||||
|
continuously during use or, very rarely, (d) worked perfectly. The temptation
|
||||||
|
to 'improve' it during time (d) resulted in hours being spent fettling it in
|
||||||
|
states (a) to (c). For better (probably) or worse, this activity is now
|
||||||
|
pretty much a thing of the past
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<dt><b><a name="rope">Ropewashing</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd><img align=right src="tinypix/washit.jpg" width=161 height=192 hspace=10>
|
||||||
|
OK, I admit, this is really caving, but it happens at
|
||||||
|
<a href="bcamps.htm">Basecamp</a> and is refreshing if it's hot.
|
||||||
|
However, it can be a bit epic in the river if it is in flood, in which case a
|
||||||
|
<a href="#tyrol">Tyrolean traverse</a> over the river is a sporting game.

|
|

|
<dt><b><a name="salt">Salt-mining</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>There are Salt Mines at both Hallstatt and Altaussee which are worth a
|
||||||
|
visit. The latter were used as a stash for huge amounts of stolen art
|
||||||
|
treasures by the Nazis, a fact that they keep strangely quiet about, given
|
||||||
|
that it was the brave action of one of the local workers which saved them
|
||||||
|
from being dynamited.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<dt><b><a name="swim">Swimming</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>Either in the river behind the Staud'nwirt or in one of the lakes, where
|
||||||
|
the top metre or so gets quite warm in hot weather.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||

<dt><b><a name="fester">Sunbathing</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd><img src="tinypix/tcdoze.jpg" width=201 height=123 align=left hspace=10>
|
||||||
|
Can be done almost anywhere, when it doesn't piss down - but usually combined
|
||||||
|
with other activities at the side of the lake. However, more rays can be
|
||||||
|
picked up at Top Camp in the unusual event of good weather and not caving.<br

|
<a href="piclinks/tobog.htm"><img src="tinypix/tobog.jpg" width=143

|
<dt><b><a name="tberg">Trisselberg ascent</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>Of four expo attempts, two have succeeded - in
|
||||||
|
<a href="years/1984/twand.htm">1984</a> and again in
|
||||||
|
<a href="years/1990/log.htm#trissel">1990</a>.
|
||||||
|
An earlier attempt was thwarted by a wasps' nest, and the
|
||||||
|
<a href="years/1992/log.htm#trissel">1992 attempt</a> made the error of
|
||||||
|
retreating from high up in what turned out to be quite an epic in a
|
||||||
|
thunderstorm. It must be about time someone else had a go...
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<dt><b><a name="tyrol">Tyrolean traverse</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>Typically occurs towards the end of expo when large amounts of gear,
|
||||||
|
particularly rope and pulleys, ends up down by the river for
|
||||||
|
<a href="#rope">ropewashing</a>. If the river really is too epic to stand in,
|
||||||
|
a tyrolean traverse from Hilde's to some trees opposite can provide an
|
||||||
|
awesome sense of exposure and not a little danger !
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<dt><b><a name="surf">Windsurfing</a></b>
|
||||||
|
<dd>Yet another lakeside activity - this one really is easiest if there is
|
||||||
|
some wind, but as long as this is not too strong, it's a good game for total
|
||||||
|
beginners (unlike <a href="#kite">Hang-gliding</a>, for example).

<center><h2>Fixed aids in CUCC caves</h2></center>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>At various points of the cave, passages have been reached by climbs up
|
||||||
|
which would have to be repeated unless a rope was left on from year to year.
|
||||||
|
A few pitches were explored from the top, but form potentially important
|
||||||
|
routes of access when approached from below - for instance the bottom of the
|
||||||
|
Left Hand Routes in Kaninchenhöhle can be reached without rigging many
|
||||||
|
pitches by means of two short up-pitches in Ambidextrous. Such permanently
|
||||||
|
rigged verticals are mentioned in the descriptions, but are also gathered
|
||||||
|
together here to help those needing to keep track of and maintain these
|
||||||
|
ropes.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>As an area may not be visited for some years, it is important to keep a
|
||||||
|
record of when a rope was last changed or inspected, so that some idea may be
|
||||||
|
formed of its likely state. There are currently around 700m of ropes in
|
||||||
|
various places, as much as ten years old, and in place for up to seven years.
|
||||||
|
Current thinking is that if <b>static</b> ropes are not subject to
|
||||||
|
disturbance causing abrasion (eg. by flowing water) or rockfall, they
|
||||||
|
probably deteriorate a <b>lot</b> more slowly in the cave than in the tackle
|
||||||
|
store. (This may not be true of dynamic ropes).
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>In all these cases, it is the users' responsibility to convince himself of
|
||||||
|
the safety of the rope before using it. If in any doubt, take climbing and
|
||||||
|
protection gear (dynamic rope) and repeat the climb, or use dynamic rope to
|
||||||
|
protect the first person on a traverse and replace the fixed rope.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>CUCC expeditions have placed these ropes for their own use, often not
|
||||||
|
expecting them to remain in place for more than a year or two. Neither CUCC
|
||||||
|
nor any individual expedition member, past or present, makes any
|
||||||
|
representation as to the safety of this equipment, nor can be held in any way
|
||||||
|
responsible for any mishap arising from its use !

<center><h2>Photographers and authors of articles<br>
|
||||||
|
on CUCC expeditions 1976-present</h2></center>
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Don't run away with the idea that this is complete, although it must be
|
||||||
|
getting close.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>First, the editors of this archive must thank <b>everyone</b> in the full
|
||||||
|
<a href="index.htm">list of expedition members</a> - almost all of them
|
||||||
|
have written of their exploits in the expedition logbooks, so all of them are
|
||||||
|
authors of at least something in this archive. Everyone of them we have
|
||||||
|
managed to contact has been willing to have their words included here. We'd
|
||||||
|
also like to thank those few who reduced our workload by typing in parts of
|
||||||
|
the logbooks - a truly tedious job.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Similarly, we must extend particular thanks to all those members who
|
||||||
|
have contributed to the many surveys - it is an unglamourous and often
|
||||||
|
thankless task. Several of the "published authors" in the list below
|
||||||
|
have also spent hundreds of hours in the laborious process of drawing
|
||||||
|
up the surveys - often to see their work rendered out-of-date even
|
||||||
|
before being published.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Those in the following list have written articles about <b>CUCC
|
||||||
|
expeditions</b> (see <a href="../others/index.htm">Other groups</a> for
|
||||||
|
writing about other trips to the area) for either Cambridge Underground or
|
||||||
|
for other caving journals, which are already included here, or will
|
||||||
|
eventually be a part of the archive. They are included in alphabetical,
|
||||||
|
rather than chronological order, and no indication is given here of the
|
||||||
|
extent of their contribution. The list also includes all photographers who
|
||||||
|
have allowed the use of material in this archive and those who have helped
|
||||||
|
translate articles from foreign journals. Please see the <a
|
||||||
|
href="../pubs.htm">bibliography</a> of published reports for more details
|
||||||
|
on authorship. Photographs are credited in the html pages which hold the
|
||||||
|
full-sized images.

<p>The large mass of cave descriptions have been taken from guidebook
|
||||||
|
descriptions or exploration reports by the above authors, or translated from
|
||||||
|
publications of groups listed under <a href="../others/index.htm">Other
|
||||||
|
Groups</a>. We'd like to thank the librarian of the Fédération
|
||||||
|
Belgique de Spéléologie for supplying photocopies of articles,
|
||||||
|
and Jill Gates (ULSA and NPC) for help with translation.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Certain parts of the <a href="../handbook/index.htm">Expedition
|
||||||
|
Handbook</a> are derived from earlier documents used by other clubs, most
|
||||||
|
especially the
|
||||||
|
<a href="http://norbert.materials.ox.ac.uk:8080/OUCC/Archive.htm">Oxford
|
||||||
|
University Caving Club</a>. This particularly includes the
|
||||||
|
<a href="../handbook/rescue.htm">Rescue guide</a>, which owes much to Gavin
|
||||||
|
Lowe. If you are browsing locally, you may also find a mirror of the
|
||||||
|
well-illustrated <a href="../handbook/3rdparty/sherry/srtrig.htm">SRT
|
||||||
|
rigging guide</a> produced by Sherry Mayo with contributions from Mark Bown.
|
||||||
|
If that link doesn't work, (which it won't if you are browsing over the
|
||||||
|
"real" internet), then the original is
|
||||||
|
<a href="http://www.cavepage.magna.com.au/cave/srtrig.html">here</a>.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>The editors would like to thank the discoverers of Kaninchenhöhle
|
||||||
|
for finding a cave so complex that hypertext seemed the only way to build
|
||||||
|
a usable guidebook description. Without the start that this gave, the
|
||||||
|
website might never have come about. Andy Waddington started the major
|
||||||
|
rewrite of the description in an effort to understand the cave without
|
||||||
|
having to make the sacrifice of going underground. The endless questions
|
||||||
|
that this provoked stimulated Wookey and others to join the work. HTML
|
||||||
|
provides the means to keep linking in new bits of material interminably
|
||||||
|
and Wookey provided the stimulus to make it more cohesive by finding the
|
||||||
|
space on a real web site. We'd also like to thank everyone who has
|
||||||
|
browsed these pages and made constructive comments or reported bugs.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
<p>Finally, both exploration and documentation continue. The editors welcome
|
||||||
|
your <a href="../../fdback.htm">feedback</a> on the existing site or
|
||||||
|
contributions of writing or photographs of the area.
