The two members of the party met, the short one coming from base camp, and the tall one from top camp, faffing about to arrange their gear into their bags for the carry. Several other cavers were seen, though they seemed to be doing what was known in the local dialect as a "Tourist Trip". Why one would want to do that when there is glorious surveying to be done we can only ponder over a Radler.
<p>
A quick tramp across the beautiful alpine-esque meadows, being ogled by the local ovine livestock, past a large shakehole, until finally the entrance rift was reached. Changing in the blazing sun was a real torture, and the sweet relief of the cool cave air couldn't come quickly enough. The pre-rigged ropes seemed to be mostly in good nick, and the anchor placements excellent. The Canyon pitch was soon reached and passed, and the next pitch with the tensioned abseil to avoid the water also descended. The rope coiled at the base of this pitch was a bit worse for wear thanks to the water flow dragging it against the rock, but not in a dangerous place for abseil.
<p>
Finally the bottom was reached, and the streamway followed to the first hit of the day, a promising B lead up a climb in the side of the streamway. This was surveyed going in, with a bedding plane connection seen to the previous streamway. It continued as crawling with some mud and formations, until reaching a cobble choke which the short one thought may be passable with effort. The tall one thought it was a D lead at best.
<p>
Back in the main passage, the streamway was followed until the water went to the right, and we continued into a dry oxbow to push a possible lead at the end. A small sump was crawled past along a cobbled crawl to another pool. The tall one floundered around in it, regretting his choices of survey project, before coming back through the short duck after confirming it was in fact a sump pool.
<p>
The final hit for the day was to follow the water, but the tall one quickly got to the point where it got too low and decided that it was time to go and enjoy a beverage in the sun.
<p>
Upon return to the base of the pitches, it turned out that the Dour one had followed us down from topcamp for a jolly trip. We sat and ate some cheese, banana chips and dried mango, before heading back up the pitches slowly following the queue of "Tourist Cavers". A dash back to the vehicles, and soon we were enjoying an alcoholic beverage outside the establishment named for the local transportation feature, relishing the views of the mountains around us. A good day out, and definitely in Austria!
