<p>For nearly thirty years CUCC has worked on exploring the Loser plateau, a vast expanse of limestone riddled with caves in the Totes Gebirge area of the Austrian Alps, roughly 80km ESE of Salzburg. Over this time CUCC has explored such notable caves as <a href="../../smkridge/161/top.htm">Kaninchenh&ouml;hle (161)</a>, <a href="../../smkridge/41/41.htm">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle (41)</a> and <a href="../../smkridge/40/cucc.htm">Schwarzmooskogel Eish&ouml;hle (40)</a>, caves now connected to form a system 56km long and over a kilometer deep; over half of which was contributed by CUCC.</p> <p>For nearly thirty years CUCC has worked on exploring the Loser plateau, a vast expanse of limestone riddled with caves in the Totes Gebirge area of the Austrian Alps, roughly 80km ESE of Salzburg.

<p>More recently, exploration of <a href="../../smkridge/204/204.html">Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle (204)</a> has been the main focus of exploration. Since 1999 it has yielded 9.1km of passage and is over 500m deep. It is anticipated that it will eventually connect to the Schwarzmooskogelhoehlensystem. Along the line between Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle and Kaninchenh&ouml;hle lies <a href="../../smkridge/234/234.html">Hauchh&ouml;hle (234)</a>, the scene of significant exploration in 2004, when its length was quadrupled to 619m, and it still has much to be done in it.</p> <p>More recently, exploration of <a href="../../smkridge/204/204.html">Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle (204)</a> has been the main focus of exploration.

<p>A fresh project for 2004, the re-exploration <a href="../../plateau/76/76.htm">Eislufth&ouml;hle (76)</a> was commenced, as earlier work was very much concentrated on vertical extension, rather than complete exploration. It lies in an interesting area, and early indications show that there is a lot of untapped horizontal potential. In the same area as Eislufth&ouml;hle lies <a href="../../plateau/145.htm">Wolfh&ouml;hle (145)</a>, a similarly underexplored cave, in which a week-long joint re-exploration with <a href="http://www.arge-grabenstetten.de/">Arge Grabenstetten</a> (a German caving group) has been arranged, to investigate any horizontal development which may be found near the surface.</p> <p>A fresh project for 2004, the re-exploration <a href="../../plateau/76/76.htm">Eislufth&ouml;hle (76)</a> was commenced, as earlier work was very much concentrated on vertical extension, rather than complete exploration.

<h4>Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle</h4> <h4>Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle</h4>
<ul>
<li>The bottom of the pitch series of Gaffered to the Walls, was explored last summer to reveal a lot of deep horizontal development. Further exploration anticipated.</li>
<li>The passage discovered in 2004 <a href="../../smkridge/204/swings.html#crestarun">Cresta Run</a>, located at the far end of Swings passage, ended at a pitch and a large amount of black void.</li>
<li>The <a href="../../smkridge/204/rhino.html#unconformity">Unconformity</a> in Rhino Rift</a></li>
<li>There are a number of other leads in Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle which might merit exploration, including an undescended pitch (QM 01-38A) in the Chocolate Salty Balls area, known as 'The Eleven Second Rattle' after the sound heard on dropping rocks down it; another undescended pitch (01-68A) at the end of the Merry F***ing Christmas crawl; and many others (cf. the Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle <a href="../../smkridge/204/qm.html">question mark list</a>).</li>
</ul>
<h4>Hauchh&ouml;hle</h4>
<ul>
<li>Continuation of the <a href="../../smkridge/234/234.html#pie">Pie</a> series, where rope, time and drill ran out last year. A climb of dubious reversibility lead to a further climb, followed by a pitch, dropping to a chamberette with a rifty looking continuation.</li>
</ul>
<h4>Eislufth&ouml;hle</h4>
<ul>
<li><!-- dunno, get OllyB to fix this --></li>
</ul>
<h4>Wolfh&ouml;hle</h4>
<ul>
<li>The main aim will be to concentrate on the upper levels of Wolfh&ouml;hle to try to find horizontal development with the long-term goal of linking in to other, known caves (in particular Schwarzmooskogelh&ouml;hle)</li>
</ul>
<h4>Odds 'n' Sods</h4>
<ul>
<li>Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle: Pitch in <a href="../../smkridge/204/swings.html#merrygoround">Merry-Go-Round</a> with plausible connection to the <a href="../../smkridge/204/uworld.html">Underworld</a></li>
<li><a href="../../smkridge/239/239.html">Rock'n'Roll H&ouml;hle (239)</a>: Open lead over blind pit leading 204-wards</li>
</ul>
