<h2><a name="elefant" lang="de"></a>Elefantengang</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This passage leads to the 'old cave' via some difficult sections of
|
||||
steep ice.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The pitch drops down into large passage blocked by the ice wall behind.
|
||||
There is a crawl on the right that doesn't go. The main passage leads 80m
|
||||
SW to a wider area with several ways off. On the left 40m along here a
|
||||
narrow rift can be entered. It can be climbed both up and down but both
|
||||
directions are blocked. About 20m beyond this on the right, a narrow passage
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#C199940-14" name="qC199940-14">C1999-40-14</a> A] is the
|
||||
start of <span lang="de">Wahnsinnsschächte,</span> a pitch series
|
||||
ending at the 50m <span lang="de">Stern der Nacht,</span> finishing at
|
||||
about -200m. This is inferred from incomplete survey data from
|
||||
<span lang="de">Lindenmayr/Lorenz.</span>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At the wider section the obvious route crosses ice (more nasty blue
|
||||
polyprop rope). In this area is evidence that the ice levels were much
|
||||
higher in 1938 as the initials 'CZ' are drawn on the wall about 2.5m above
|
||||
the ice. There are two small crawls on the left - which may be 'C' QMs;
|
||||
and one passage high up in the left wall which connects back to
|
||||
<span lang="de">Elefantengang</span> after about 8m.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The main way on is a (6m) climb up steep ice to the left. At the top is
|
||||
a steep ramp up to the right
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#A199940-11" name="qA199940-11">A1999-40-11</a> C].
|
||||
Easy passage leads 40m to a 4-way junction, where there is an inscription
|
||||
left by the 1938 cavers, little realising they were about 8m from the
|
||||
surface! Left is the new (1999) <span lang="de">Grüner</span>
|
||||
entrance, dug out by ARGE when they smelled the stars. Ahead right chokes
|
||||
quickly, although there is a small connection to the main way on. Right is
|
||||
the way on to the 'old cave'. First you cross a small crushed-ice pool, which
|
||||
is very weird. A small hole links through to the previous bit of passage and
|
||||
there is a narrow slow in the ice which sounds at least 15m deep. This bit of
|
||||
cave is incredibly cold and windy. A small chimney on the left is too tight.
|
||||
After 50m a 4m drop into large passage is reached. It is not free-climbable.
|
||||
A Spit was placed here in 2000 for the descent.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Below the ice climb out of <span lang="de">Elefantengang</span> the
|
||||
passage continues (with smaller dimensions) past a hole in the floor to the
|
||||
right [<a href="qm.htm#C199940-12" name="qC199940-12">C1999-40-12</a> C]
|
||||
to where a strong draught blows up but the way is blocked by ice too
|
||||
poor to climb
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#C199940-13" name="qC199940-13">C1999-40-13</a> C].
|
||||
It seems likely that the slot connects to the main route above but
|
||||
the connection may be too tight.
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a name="express"></a>Express Finish (2000)</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The route follows the wall round in a narrow gap between wall and ice,
|
||||
then through a few boulders into a large space at least 20m high, Express
|
||||
Finish. It is the bottom of a deep canyon, partly infilled by rocks and
|
||||
ice from the south. The upper wall is steep ice, presumably from
|
||||
<span lang="de">Schneevulkanhalle</span>
|
||||
above, but perhaps there is passage up there? The ice is about 60-70 degrees
|
||||
and thus could be climbed, but it's a long way off the floor! The floor
|
||||
consists of boulders and descends steeply to the towards the large (in
|
||||
May) waterfall at the end. A 3m climb at the bottom reaches the foot of
|
||||
the waterfall. Progress can be made beyond the canyon at various levels.
|
||||
All of this seems to be scrotting about in the gaps between the ice and
|
||||
boulders against the solid northern wall. No ways on were found in a thorough
|
||||
search. What follows is detail of what was found.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At the top, next to the ice you can climb up and round for about
|
||||
15m until the ice closes down against the wall.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There are two holes at the foot of the north wall of the canyon,
|
||||
the upper one pleasant, the smaller rather scrotty. These lead to two large
|
||||
levelish spaces, connected by a 2m icy climb (down only!). You can climb
|
||||
up from the top level to the left, and down from the bottom to the left
|
||||
(all choked). At the left end of the lower level is a far too tight blowing
|
||||
hole and a marginally desperate tight canyon, just too small even for Wook
|
||||
(due to a corner - you can physically get in the first metre or so). This
|
||||
has a draught - it's smallness is frustrating! To the right of this a climb
|
||||
down leads to a small (0.8m) icy canyon. After two 2m downclimbs in succession
|
||||
it closes down. At the right hand end of this level you can climb up back
|
||||
to the huge canyon via the scrotty hole, or down into more interstices.
|
||||
The water from the waterfall can be heard through the wall here. There
|
||||
seems to be a draught but after climbing down about 10m through the choke
|
||||
against the wall it is lost.
|
||||
|
||||
<h2><a name="phell"></a>Plastic Hell and Cardboard Heaven (CUCC, 1998)</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Descending the roped ice slope leads to a small chamber and a high rift
|
||||
leads off. A 5m mixed ice/rock pitch (10m rope) descends to a narrow slot.
|
||||
Leave your crampons here. Sliding through the slot you reach a wider bit,
|
||||
which is a respite before Plastic Hell. This is a tight 3m rift section,
|
||||
very difficult to negotiate for tall people in plastic boots (hence the
|
||||
name). A very strong draught blows through this whole section. 5m beyond
|
||||
this a 9m pitch. The bottom is a dead-end rift. You need to swing over
|
||||
a rock bridge half-way down to reach the way on.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is a comfortable passage going off left and right. To the right
|
||||
chokes in sand after 15m. There is a visible connection to the bottom of
|
||||
the dead-end rift low on the right. To the left the passage ascends gently
|
||||
for 20m to come out in large trunk passage, extending ahead (east) and
|
||||
to the left (north). This is Cardboard Heaven.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Ahead in Cardboard Heaven leads up over and around huge boulders past a 3m
|
||||
aven hidden in an undercut to the left. The passage at ground level gets much
|
||||
smaller (2m high instead of 8m) and then chokes at a conglomerate run-in. A
|
||||
continuation of the main passage can be seen 5m up the end wall where it
|
||||
changes size
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#C199840-01" name="qC199840-01">C1998-40-01</a> A].
|
||||
There is also an eyehole about 3m up the wall on the right
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#C199840-02" name="qC199840-02">C1998-40-02</a> B].
|
||||
A narrow rift in the floor on the right hand side chokes.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Going left in Cardboard Heaven leads after 10m to the start of a
|
||||
dodgy traverse in 'keyhole' passage on a very large scale. Bolts are rigged
|
||||
to make it safe. Going down here is
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#C199840-03" name="qC199840-03">C1998-40-03</a> A].
|
||||
Rounding the corner reaches another large hole, which is passed by
|
||||
a protected traverse on slabs to the right
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#C199840-04" name="qC199840-04">C1998-40-04</a> A].
|
||||
These two QMs may well connect below. A ledge along the right hand
|
||||
wall reaches solid ground. It's not clear if the passage is choked here
|
||||
or just kinks and has a lot of sand on the floor. Ducking under the left
|
||||
hand wall reaches the top of a pitch. A continuation
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#C199840-05" name="qC199840-05">C1998-40-05</a> B]
|
||||
can be seen 8m across the other side, but the traverse looks difficult.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Descending here is a 30m split pitch of 15m and 15m. The rift at
|
||||
the bottom is too tight, and the draught seems to have gone.

||||

<h2><a name="pov"></a>Persistence of Vision (CUCC, 1999)</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a href="l/povice.htm"><img src="t/povice.jpg" ALT="Entrance rift photo - 52k" hspace=10 vspace=10 height=306 width=200 align=left></a>
|
||||
An interesting series off <span lang="de">Schneevulkanhalle,</span> with some
|
||||
tortuous small passage of a highly 'Mendip' nature, including tight bends,
|
||||
squeezes, ridiculous climbs, insane bolt traverses, and bizarre hading
|
||||
rift. This connects a selection of rifts and pitches which are largely
|
||||
blocked at the bottom. The passages trend steeply up between the pitches.
|
||||
There is an awful lot of 'varied caving' in the 400m of passage found so
|
||||
far. The end (bottom of Eiscream) is the point closest to
|
||||
<span lang="de">Kaninchenhöhle</span>
|
||||
(<a href="../161/chile.htm#breezeb">Breeze block</a> area of Chile) which
|
||||
makes it a very interesting spot.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a href="fullsize/povelv.png"><img src="inline/povelv.png" ALT="Persistence of

|
||||
About 10m up the left edge of the funnel-shaped rubble/ice slope at the
|
||||
western edge of SVH is a narrow rift. (You can leave your crampons at the
|
||||
foot of the rubble slope). A stiff breeze emerges from this passage, Deviant
|
||||
Alternative (Named as we found it avoiding the ice-climb QMs a few metres
|
||||
further round the wall in SVH). It goes downhill for a few metres before
|
||||
reaching a very narrow and rather awkward 180 degree bend, leading to another
|
||||
7m of unhelpfully small wiggly passage. At least the wind stops you
|
||||
overheating :-).
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a href="l/pov1.htm"><img src="t/pov1.jpg" ALT="Photo - 53k" hspace=10
|
||||
vspace=10 height=193 width=130 align=left></a>
|
||||
At the end there is a hole in the floor, which is made awkward by the
|
||||
chockstone in the middle of it. The way on to <a href="#upup">Up, up and
|
||||
away</a> is the narrow, steeply ascending passage on the right.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="delayt"></a>Delaying tactics (CUCC, 1999)</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Climbing 3m down the hole reaches a pair of windows into a large, wide
|
||||
rift and the sound of water. Most of the draught comes from here. A 15m
|
||||
pitch (dubious thread by chockstone above and bolt right hand wall), lands
|
||||
on large boulders in the bottom of the rift. From the top of the pitch
|
||||
a passage can be seen on the far side of the rift - it would be very hard
|
||||
to get to
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#C199940-01" name="qC199940-01">C1999-40-01</a> C].
|
||||
From the foot of the pitch you can climb up or down the rift. Up is
|
||||
a c4 round a protruding boulder to the foot of a small waterfall and pool
|
||||
which soaks away into the rubble floor. Down is a c6 to the top of another
|
||||
15m pitch (Bolt high on left hand wall, knotted sling deviation from right
|
||||
hand wall at -1m). This is classic descending stream rift.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>There is a traverse level halfway down the pitch, and it is possible,
|
||||
with much scrabbling, to climb round a corner into a narrow section (on
|
||||
rope) where more dodgy traversing (sling belay here) and a climb up then
|
||||
down gets to a 'chamber' where you can stand and tie off the rope. This
|
||||
seems to be where the draught goes. Several small passages go off here.
|
||||
In the SW corner a steeply ascending tube goes about 8m (over an awkward
|
||||
rock) to look back out into the rift opposite the pitch head. Another even
|
||||
smaller passage (take off SRT gear) ascends the bedding 3m to a point where
|
||||
the draught comes in from a desperately tight steep slot on the left and
|
||||
it gets too tight above. I'm not even going to give it a QM, although it
|
||||
may be humanly possible!
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In the other end of the chamber (NE) there are two possible climbs
|
||||
into roof tubes. The furthest one ascends about 5m to a 'space' but is
|
||||
blocked by large rocks. A second (even more obscure, and harder to climb
|
||||
into) tube ascends nearby to reach the same space. Both tubes have a strong
|
||||
draught going in. Beyond is another rift, more or less parallel to Delaying
|
||||
Tactics, and climbing up in it reaches a point where you can look down
|
||||
10m to the pitch head bolt. The wind here suggests more passage, but we've
|
||||
tried ridiculously hard to find it...it may just lead to interstices in
|
||||
the floor of SVH (it must be quite close).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At the bottom of the 15m pitch is flat rocky floor for 10m widening
|
||||
out to 3m wide (still draughting strongly). Then a c4 down and rocky slope
|
||||
leads into the end chamber (6 x 3 x 7m high). There is no draught here
|
||||
and no ways on.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="upup"></a>Up, up ... (CUCC, 1999)</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a href="l/upup1.htm"><img src="t/upup1.jpg" ALT="Photo - 63k" hspace=10
|
||||
vspace=10 height=200 width=307 align=left></a>
|
||||
Ascending the steep, rifty passage for 4m leads to a squeeze over a boulder
|
||||
into a spacious chamber. At the left hand edge is access back into the top of
|
||||
the Delaying Tactics rift. Ahead an exposed 5m climb gets back into narrow
|
||||
rift. The way on is a very exposed 5m climb straight up, although you can
|
||||
also traverse forward to the end of the rift, just above the farthest point
|
||||
that can be reached from below. These two climbs are now bypassed by an 11m
|
||||
pitch (<a href="../../fixaid.htm#upup">left rigged,</a> in 1999) up the
|
||||
sloping right hand wall of the chamber to a window.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>... and away</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a href="l/upup2.htm"><img src="t/upup2.jpg" ALT="Photo - 109k" hspace=10
|
||||
vspace=10 height=245 width=160 align=right></a>
|
||||
At the top a lined 2m climb leads to a passage, And away. The main Delaying
|
||||
Tactics rift also continues ahead for about 12m (including a bad step)
|
||||
to a wet vertical choke where the water seen below comes in. 'And away'
|
||||
is a narrow ascending walking passage with a very strong outward draught.
|
||||
It emerges after about 40m on a rock bridge between two sizeable pitches.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="radio3"></a>Radio 3 (CUCC, 1999)</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Both pitches from the bridge reach the same place. Only the right hand one
|
||||
has been descended (backup bolt at start of Hooked on Classics traverse;
|
||||
pitch head left hand wall; crap deviation -6m). A couple of metres below the
|
||||
deviation a rift enters which leads to the foot of the pitch above which
|
||||
Hooked on Classics traverses. At the foot of the 24m pitch is a wide (4m)
|
||||
rift. 11m along is a hole in the floor, which can be descended by a difficult
|
||||
4m climb, or traversed round on the right to continuing rift. Climbing up to
|
||||
the left is where the pitch the other side of the bridge above comes in. At
|
||||
the bottom of the hole, going back SW is a tiny draughting hole
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#C199940-02" name="qC199940-02">C1999-40-02</a> C].
|
||||
Correctly thrown rocks rattle a long way down behind it. Fifteen minutes
|
||||
of hammering didn't make it big enough - Hilti caps are needed. On the
|
||||
other side of the hole the continuing rift can be entered at two different
|
||||
levels.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>At all three levels the rift continues about 10m before becoming
|
||||
about 8cm wide. A strong draught goes into this crack! This section is
|
||||
called Radio 3 because it was crap.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="angled"></a>Angle of Dangle (CUCC, 1999)</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a href="l/hooked.htm"><img src="t/hooked.jpg" ALT="Photo - 58k" hspace=10
|
||||
vspace=10 height=306 width=200 align=left></a>
|
||||
Most of the draught at the rock bridge comes from a window across the Radio
|
||||
3 pitch. This is reached by a 5-bolt tension traverse. (Originally done
|
||||
by climbing up the far wall from 5m down the pitch). The window immediately
|
||||
looks out over another pitch, which connects back into Radio 3 10m below.
|
||||
This is passed by an ascending 5-bolt tension traverse along the left hand
|
||||
wall, which reaches a steeply ascending phreatic passage, Angle of Dangle.
|
||||
The traverse finishes at a large thread.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This traverse is called Hooked on Classic, due to the extensive
|
||||
use of a skyhook, which made it possible. It was
|
||||
<a href="../../fixaid.htm#hooked">left rigged</a> with a static rope in 1999.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Despite ascending at more than 40 degrees, the passage beyond can
|
||||
be ascended with no gear. The passage is strongly joint-controlled, and
|
||||
hades at 35-40 degrees throughout. There is a general shortage of proper
|
||||
'floor' anywhere. The climb up the initial section is about 18m in total.
|
||||
After about 11m there is a hole in the floor where the canyon separates
|
||||
from the phreatic section. This has not been descended
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#C199940-03" name="qC199940-03">C1999-40-03</a> B].
|
||||
The climb is a bit harder after this (handline recomended), until the
|
||||
angle eases for a few metres. This section feels like a tilted bedding.
|
||||
The way on is to go low on the left though a narrow bit (a window higher
|
||||
on the left is a harder option). Ahead the passage quickly becomes entirely
|
||||
vertical and has not been climbed
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#C199940-04" name="qC199940-04">C1999-40-04</a> C].
|
||||
After the narrowing, the passage returns to steeply ascending and hading
|
||||
rift which gets increasingly awkward. First a 2m climb, then several points
|
||||
where you can go over or under rock bridges. Progress is generally easiest
|
||||
at the bottom, in the muddy bit. At the end of the rift a strenuous 3m
|
||||
climb reaches a new traverse level where you go back over the route (East),
|
||||
to a bit of floor. A hole ahead is a tight pitch back down into the rift
|
||||
below. A 4m climb here reaches more rift going back West. There is a strong
|
||||
draught all along this section.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Finally, another 8m of steep progress reaches a point where the rift
|
||||
continues
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#C199940-05" name="qC199940-05">C1999-40-05</a> B]
|
||||
and a passage, North Utsira, goes off from the left. It has real floor!
|
||||
and an extremely strong draught.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Immediately at the start of the passage a few rocks cover a deep
|
||||
hole, which doesn't appear to be the rift below
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#C199940-06" name="qC199940-06">C1999-40-06</a> B].
|
||||
After 11m a T-junction is reached. To the right is yet more ascending
|
||||
rift, and two thirds of the draught comes from here. A couple of checks
|
||||
of this direction have not revealed any person-sized ways on - the draught
|
||||
seems to come out of the roof somewhere
|
||||
[<a href="qm.htm#C199940-07" name="qC199940-07">C1999-40-07</a> C].

<p>To the left the rift becomes small phreatic passage, which wiggles
|
||||
for 12m to another T-junction. Left is a smaller draughtless passage that
|
||||
goes a rather tedious 25m to a mud choke. Right has the draught and is
|
||||
stooping passage for ~25m to a very wet window to a pitch on the left.
|
||||
A 7m traverse line here (bolt right hand wall, long (2 slings) thread on
|
||||
far side) passes the window, where the passage degenerates to a crawl for
|
||||
a couple of metres before opening out to the pitch again, but with dry
|
||||
access this time, 7m beyond the first window.
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="eiscream"></a>Eiscream (CUCC, 1999)</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>From the window the first pitch of Eiscream (thread back round corner;
|
||||
roof bolt) descends past a steep slope on the right. A hole (probably another
|
||||
pitch) can be seen across the other side of the slope
|
||||
[<a name="qC199940-08" href="qm.htm#C199940-08">>C1999-40-08</a> B].
|
||||
It is also probably possible to ascend the slope to the right
|
||||
[<a name="qC199940-09" href="qm.htm#C199940-09">C1999-40-09</a> C].
|
||||
10m down, a ledge between two further drops can be gained. The way
|
||||
on carries on down to the right. Descending to the left requires an extra
|
||||
deviation. It is a very wet 20m pitch where the water (a sizeable stream)
|
||||
disappears down the usual small slot. It may be possible to descend but
|
||||
it was too wet to see properly!
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Descending another 4m from the ledge over a boulder reaches the start
|
||||
of a long stream rift pitch series. Bolt left hand wall and spike deviation
|
||||
at -3m give a 13m pitch. A thread on the right hand side through a window,
|
||||
followed by an epic spike deviation on the left at -5m and another at -13m
|
||||
pass a large block to reach the floor again. Traversing out a little to
|
||||
the widest point gives a 9m hang and a couple more 2m descents/climbs (2
|
||||
bolts, left and right). At this point the traverse ledges lead all the
|
||||
way out to the roof. The slot is very narrow all the way along but you
|
||||
can get to the pitch head by an awkward move down into the slot then along
|
||||
a metre or so (such fun!). The pitch series can be seen to continue at
|
||||
least another 15m below
|
||||
[<a name="qC199940-10" href="qm.htm#C199940-10">C1999-40-10</a> A].
|
||||
|
||||
<h3><a name="nightm"></a>Night Manipulations Series (CUCC, 2000)</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It is believed that the first 40m of this series was explored by GSCB in
|
||||
the early 80s.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Standing facing the icefall just to the right of the pitch down from
|
||||
<span lang="de">Schneevulkanhalle</span>
|
||||
to <span lang="de">Elefantengang,</span> moving around the wall to the
|
||||
right (past a drop off the edge of the ice) reaches a gap under the wall. A
|
||||
low wet crawl in icy water, <b>Soggy Bottom</b>, gains a small ice-floored
|
||||
chamber. A rift leads off and up to the right; crampons can be left here. The
|
||||
rift leads to another chamber with a multitude of exits.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Straight ahead is a plane sloping up at about 45 degrees. This appears
|
||||
too tight at the top but it is possible, about a third of the way up, to
|
||||
thrutch across to the left (looking up-slope) to reach another similarly
|
||||
sloping plane. This leads to a small chamber .....</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>To the right in the chamber is a climb over rocks to a slightly higher
|
||||
level. A steeply-sloping plane goes off to the left..... whilst to the right
|
||||
is a short crawl to a small window into SVH. A sandy-floored crawl/stoop
|
||||
straight ahead leads to a drop onto an ice floor. Here there is a large
|
||||
window looking out into SVH from the top of the icefall between the entrance
|
||||
to the Series and the slope leading to Up, Up and Away.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Crossing the ice with care gains a rift heading upwards to a small
|
||||
chamber. To the right a crawl leads to another window further around SVH.
|
||||
Up and to the left a passage degenerates into an earthen-floored crawl which
|
||||
decreases in size until opening up into a rift chamber. A canyon leads from
|
||||
here and stops abruptly where it intersects a large shaft......</p>
|
||||

<p>Wookey looking up the unclimbed ice-column of question mark
|
||||
<a href="../qm.htm#C000040-04">C0000-40-03</a> in
|
||||
<b>Schneevulkanhalle</b> of Schwarzmooskogeleishöhle. This is about 10m
|
||||
of vertical ice in late summer, but would apparently be much easier earlier
|
||||
in the season, before the ice had eroded this much. When seen in May 2000,
|
||||
the angle was much easier, more like 60 or 70° rather than vertical. The
|
||||
lead was not tackled on Expo 1999, as there seemed more promising things
|
||||
available. However, as more was explored and some geological information
|
||||
became available, it looks increasingly as though this climb would be worth
|
||||
tackling.
|
||||
</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>
|
||||
The climb was pushed in 2000 by Olly Betts. The ice was in similar poor
|
||||
condition to the photo, so he bolted up the rock to the side, and discovered
|
||||
the <b>Mission Impossible</b> series, which came to within less than 40m of
|
||||
<b>Steinschlagschacht</b> without a connection being found.

<p>Wookey thrutching into the tight entrance of Deviant Alternative

(named as it avoided some intimidating ice-climbs a little further

round Schneevulkanhalle). This is a very narrow and rather awkward 180°
|

bend with a further 7m of unhelpfully small wiggly passage beyond, all

fanned by an impressive cold draught.

phreatic passage hading at 35-40° throughout and ascending steeply at

more than 40°. Anyone who has just done Hooked on Classics will find

this straightforward to ascend without gear :-)

<p>Andy Atkinson emerging from the very awkward entrance section (Deviant

Alternative) of the Persistence of Vision Series, off Schneevulkanhalle in

Schwarzmooskogeleishöhle. This tortuous passage is just a taster for the
|

400m of tight bends, ridiculous climbs, insane bolt traverses and bizarre
|
||||
hading rift found in 1999, and confirmed as still going on the pre-expo trip

of May 2000.

<p>Wookey at the foot of the left hand of two ice climbs in
|
||||
Schneevulkanhalle. This one has been climbed to a dead end, but the rift
|
||||
visible in the centre of the photo is Deviant Alternative, the entrance to
|
||||
the Persistence of Vision series, 400m of consistently difficult caving
|
||||
discovered in 1999 and an important objective of the 2000 expedition.

<h1>Schwarzmooskogelhöhle Question Mark list</h1>
|
||||
<h3>(Last update after 2000 Arge pre-expo trip)</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note that this list currently only includes question marks found <u>or
|
||||
noted</u> by CUCC (which have a "C" prefix), or ARGE (which have an "A" prefix). Those found by CUCC leading on from our own new passage are tagged
|
||||
with the year of discovery, whilst those noted in existing explored
|
||||
passage are tagged with a four-zeroes prefix. Some of these are
|
||||
undoubtedly known passage, one of which inevitably turned out to be the
|
||||
main way to the "old" system and Altausseerhalle.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>In general, an unpushed QM will have a link from its QM number in the
|
||||
description to here, and a link from here to the relevant point in the
|
||||
description. Note that links into the description of the "old cave" will
|
||||
enter the password-protected part of the site.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Quality Grades:<dl>
|
||||
<dt>A<dd>A fine QM - git down there and look.
|
||||
<dt>B<dd>Not so promising, or requiring some effort (eg. a climb)
|
||||
<dt>C<dd>Pretty cruddy, or good but very hard to get to.
|
||||
<dt>X<dd>A high, wet or unsafe-looking aven unlikely to be climbed
|
||||
<dt>?<dd>No-one writing this list actually knows!
|
||||
</dl>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Note that the quality grades are assigned by the explorers at the time,
|
||||
and that subsequent discoveries may mean that the grade is optimistic, since
|
||||
the lead may now drop into passage which wasn't then explored. Also,
|
||||
different explorers have different ideas - one man's "A-lead" may be
|
||||
another's "C-lead" :-( Such inconsistency tends to be greatest in caves
|
||||
explored by many people over a long period, so shouldn't yet be too bad here.
