Trip 5. Final surveying and derigging was completed with Steve being drafted in to prove that we hadn't made it all up. This final trip took just five hours.
Comments
The pot is about 220m deep, and it seems likely that the sump is perched or perhaps even a temporary sump in highish water. However, no bypass could be found so the depth is unlikely to be increased. No major phreatic development was reached. Such phreatic passages as were found all choked rapidly and the overall impression is of a larger than life Yorkshire pot cutting through old phreatic developments. Like Yorkshire too, heavy water makes the big pitches very serious and the fourth trip assumed epic proportios at times, with one pair ascending most of the big rift in darkness, including transferring prussiking gear on a tiny ledge over 50m of exposure.
83: Found 200m north of 82. A 13m freeclimb dropped on to a steep snow slope requiring a line. This was descended for a further 10m to a steep boulder slope which funnelled down to a small hole through which stones fell free a long way. The large amounts of scree made the descent most uninviting. Back up the boulder slope, a phreatic passage was entered and quickly led to a big hole in the floor.

84: A draughting tube WNW of 83 led to a small chamber. A further small tube led off, still draughting but it was deemed impenetrable by the caver concerned on account of him wearing only shorts and T-shirt.
85: Strangely, we had missed this although it was within 20m of 82 and we had walked past it every day on the way to the plateau. A descent of this turned out to be quite entertaining - a series of short free-climbs of varying complexity led to a depth of at least 50m with no tackle required anywhere. An impenetrable fissure barred further progress.
86: This was a rift on the high ground just SE of 82 and didn't look too promising as it seemed snow-plugged. Ladder was fed down and a descent made to -25m before the gap between the snow and the rock got too small.
None of our pots have accurate coordinates, a reflection partly on the recurrent low cloud and partly on our belief that we were sighting on a peak called the Bräuning Sattel. A 'Sattel', we later learnt, is a pass ! All our pots are marked in red paint.

90: Rift entrance in scrub, just below talus and pasture. Chokes at -20m
91: Snow-fed rift in open lapiaz. Chokes at -20m
92: Distinct from its neighbours in several respects. Firstly, it was deep in scrub yet the entrance was not over-vegetated. Secondly, by virtue of its small horizontal entrance, it was unlikely to be blocked by thermoclastic scree. Thirdly it draughted slightly. With all these points in its favour, it was annoying to find that the interior was as loose as a dose of Delhi-belly. Everywhere we looked were vast, poised boulders, and one of our ropes was severed when NR dislodged a piece of wall by breathing too hard. It was not too much of a disappointment to find that it choked at -90m.

So we abandoned the area under the Bräuning Wall. But before we go down to serious prospecting we decided to have a look at a pot recommended to us by Karl Gaisberger. In fact we had already been camping within 50m of it without noticing ! It was situated on a raised bank near the sink and huts on the west side of the Schwarzmoos Sattel, just off the path that we followed to reach the plateau from the car park. In fact Pot 96 was found first, but JG being an accountant, his tiny brain gets acutely perplexed by blunders in numbering.
95: A 10m climb to an unpushed and unpromising tube. Descended only for the sake of form and to restore numerical sequence.
96: An unusual pot in that the entrance was the only good clean shaft which we found in pasture. A series of short, solid pitches in a high rift led to an apparent end in a chamber where the water sank. However, the upper level of a small rift was found to lead to an abandoned passage. Several free-climbs, each muddier than the last, then a squeeze, brought us to a sordid little sump, although an air current (but not SP) seemed to vanish along an inaccessible passage above the final crawl. We were rather disappointed by the omens, as last year's major discovery, the Fledermaushöhle, had also ended in a sump. Would every pot end in a perched sump ? Well the next pot was to be a revelation. Depth 105m.

97: The pot that restored the status quo to Team Enthusiast (otherwise known as Team Ireland, Team Trials Marina, Team Thin Geriatric, Team Gunge etc., etc.) We had been looking for a hole which we could name Konstantinopolitanischerstraßenbahnführerinassistentineninexpeditionnenzehnhundertsiebenundsiebsigtropfsteineishöhlensystem, but it would have had to be at least 50 km long for the name to fit on the survey ! So we settled for the name Schneewindschacht instead. Within spitting distance of Eislufthöhle, it was distinguished by a narrow, draughting entrance, with an encouraging rustle of water within. (Incidentally, all the draughting holes we found this year blew OUT: we never came up with a reasonable explanation, despite much speculation about localised barometric inversion, water generated and ionised air currents, but just took it for granted that such holes were more promising than pots with no draught at all.)
Team Fat Geriatric jeered at us for applying Yorkshire tactics in the land of the big shaft, but we returned next day with a hammer and enlarged the entrance to passable proportions. Two climbs of 10m and 5m led to a chamber with two exits, of which NR chose the drier. A sordid grovel doubled itself and passed directly under the wetter hole, which dribbled ferociously through his tatty Spock-suit. Obviously a diver was needed ! JG obligingly continued along the grovel for a further 5m, finding it about as tight as Baptistry crawl with a constricted pitch head on the far side. 15m below, the explorers reached the head of a very deep-sounding rift, which was initially descended only to a ledge at 20m. Due to the awkwardness of the entrance crawl, it was necessary to remove all SRT gear and clip it to the pitch head before exiting, hence the name Vestry. The crawl itself, which henceforward was entered and left by the wet entrance, was baptised the Nun's C***: partly on account of the shape of the orifice, partly on account of its tightness, but mainly because it was so desperately in need of banging.
Discovery progressed slowly, largely because every pitch had to be bolted: also, it was essential to be off the lapiaz by nightfall or resign oneself to an overnight trip, thus denying oneself the statutory five glasses of Reininghaus at the Bar Fischer. The survey is fairly self-explanatory. Traversing over a 'Puits en baionnette' took one down the Bottomless Abbess to a point where the cave turned horizontal and stream-like for a short stretch. But it still went on down, dropping - rather surprisingly - into an abandoned series of dry, dusty phreatic tubes, which sloped down at a steady five degrees. The tantalising sight of a large cave-type passage leading off beyond a 3m ladder climb almost made it seem likely that a giant fossil system had been reached. Alas, it was impossible to traverse over to it, so SP was tied onto a piece of string and forced down the next pitch.
A fine clean shaft of 25m, it started unpromisingly, but soon belled out into a magnificent trench passage. Traversing over a gully led shortly to a succession of piddling little climbs and a final lovely pitch, The Dissolution. Here the water sank in an impenetrable crack, the draught having already vanished.

An excellent pot - even if it would have been impossible to rescue anyone from - but why did it stop so soon ? And would the traverse have led to further pitches ? The answer is almost certainly yes. Still, there's the rest of the plateau to be looked at yet, so we probably won't return to the Schneewindschacht. Depth 265m.

The 'Youth Section' comprised the three undergraduate members of the expedition present this year, Simon Farrow, Nick Thorne & Andy Waddington. We arrived a few days later than the bulk of the expedition and immediately started prospecting. It took us about two days of exploring small shafts in the karren with depths of 10-20m before we found a very promising area. Two shafts of 30 and 40m were descended, but these were of the large open type and inevitably choked. The shafts were numbered as found:
