This had a very big rock blocking -the entrance and rewarded the huge effort required to move it with nearly 5m -of passage to a choke and a choked shaft. - -

10m further down still is the third entrance. A 6m climb down to a large -ramp and a rebelay is the start of a 30m pitch. One way at the bottom is an -8m boulder slope climb up to a choke and small aven. The other way is a 2m -climb into moonmilk crawl and some tight thrutching and chokes.

Altitude: 1600m
-Depth: 90m
-Location: West of Kratzer valley, off path to Schwarzmoossattel. - -

Entrance is in a fair-sized shakehole in the dwarf-pine-covered karren -before Schwarzmoossattel. - -

Initial hands and knees crawl for 20m soon enlarges and descends past a -couple of oxbows (one leading to within sight of daylight up an aven) to -reach twin climbs of 8m, the easier being through a hole to the right. Soon -afterwards is the first pitch, a sloping 8m. Below this, a pleasant passage -with occasional bat-droppings leads to a short muddy crawl, an earth bank -and a sizeable chamber. The next pitch, of 7m, is reached after more muddy -passage, and may be climbed/jumped by a rift to one side, but is best rigged -for the return. - -

Easy going continues past a right turn to a complex junction at several -levels. The water can be followed down a rift to a drop into an impenetrable -fissure. Back at the junction, a traverse and thrutch through lead to a -small tube, which crosses a cross-rift and ends at a filthy sump. Left at -the cross rift, however, a low crawl gives onto a greasy chimney climb of 4m -with very little in the way of holds. At the foot of this, the water -reenters, and soon develops acute verticality. The first 5m are technical -and best rigged, but below that, the descent becomes more spiralling in -mainly solid rock. After 30m, things become more shattered and muddy and the -climb drops into water leading very quickly to a sump at -90m. - -

Shortly before the second pitch, a right turn leads into an inlet passage, -over a slot to the main passage below, over a traverse and a false floor, to -reach, eventually, an aven ascended for about 25m and continuing, but with -no great prospects. - -

From the Chamber, a traverse can be entered from the top of the -rock-slope. The level closes off after about 15m, but below a climb down, a -pitch was excavated dropping into a larger passage which soon choked -comprehensively. - -

Exploration: Discovered by Karl Gaisberger in October 1975, but -prevented from continuing by start of winter snows, so shared exploration -with CUCC, 1976. - -

Altitude: East Entrance 812m West entrance 809m Length 306m, Depth -71m, extent NW-SE 160m - -

Location: At the foot of a gully cutting the southwestern end of -Steller, a major cliff band SE of the Loser - Bräuning area. A couple -of hundred metres north of the Youth Hostel at the NE corner of Altausseer -See. - -

If you follow the lakeside path (shortest approach from Altaussee on -north side of lake) there is a junction where the path to Hochklapfsattel -departs. A short way west of (ie. before) this junction is a bridge over a -normally dry stream bed. Follow the stream bed up for a short way until it -splits, then follow the apparently smaller branch to the right (east). -Scramble up rocks to the East Entrance. This is marked on the Alpine Club -1:25000 map. - -

Although the Altitude given is 812m, it doesn´t seem that high, and 812m -is exactly 100m above lake level, which is a little suspicious. If you -accept instead the phrase "climb 70m higher" in the original kataster -description, the altitude comes out about 780 to 785m, which puts the final -sump at almost exactly the level of the lake. - -

Survey: A4 survey in Mitt. der Sektion Ausseerland 18(4), Oct. -1980, facing p 86. This is dated 1935, 1960 and looks like a third -generation photocopy of a larger survey - the quality is very poor. - -

References: There are descriptions (in German) of dives in the -terminal sump in 1985 and 1988. A further follow-up article is awaiting scanning in... - -

Seasonally active cave. Ends in a 'Lake', which is a sump pool, apparently -higher than the level of Altausseer See, and close to the surveyed level of -the Stellerweg sump. - -

Access to the final sump is guarded by short siphons in each of the two -passages going to the far end of the cave. These can be drained, but care -should be taken to ensure they are drained towards the entrance, otherwise -the final sump will become muddy. Visited by Mike Thomas and Pete Lancaster -in 1989, as far as the short sumps. - -

A note on the geology : The north shore of the lake follows a large fault -with a big throw, so that this cave is in the same block of limestone as the -Stögerweg area caves. The Austrians think there is no hydrological -connection between this cave/resurgence and the lake level, since vauclusian -resurgences in the lake appear to be in a very different block of limestone -which has been down-faulted relative to the plateau. However, it seems more -likely that these risings are actually on the fault, and that the -lake level, and the level of the sumps in this cave and in Stellerweghöhle are closely related. - -

This hole supposedly has a CUCC painted number "B5" of 1976 vintage, which -will probably be pretty faded. Now, the Austrian's exploration details -suggest that the cave was substantially unblocked in 1976 (to -30m in -October), while CUCC's find was choked at -10m. Also, the description given -of this cave in the local Climbing Guide (Krenmayr) sounds nothing like B5 -at all, (he says, already explored in 1921, but today almost forgotten. Need -Ice equipment) so the Austrian writing in the caver's magazine who said it -was B5 may have been mistaken. Krenmayr gives length 250m, depth 100m. - -

This description by Karl Gaisberger is from the 1977 Exploration: - -

After climbing down 8m to where the shaft appeared blocked by snow, -progress did not seem likely. I [translator] think "there was a spiralling -way in the snow to a wall of ice columns". A very steep descent led into a -passage with a snow cone. (This was still in the previous year's snow-free -climb !). Pushing through a thin snow-wall through which the light -glimmered, a direct way was established. Through a hole in the snow in a -rubble-filled passage, the way soon branched. Both branches ended blind. - -

The lower level of the cave, described by O Schauberger, must be found on -the opposite side of the snow-cone from the [Schluf?]. One now comes to a -chamber complex where a sloping 10m shaft climbs down into the -Kristallhalle. The walls here are covered with admittedly large, but -superficially weathered calcite somethings (Kalzitdrusen). - -

From the Kristallhalle, through a narrow bit to a side-something with a -pile of rubble, the Tropfsteinhalle. There is a single 60cm high -stalagmite here. It shows a corroded appearance, indicating aggressive -ground water. Tropfsteinhalle contains, so far, the most beautiful flowstone -decorations in the Loser area. These include [plenty dictionary failure -here] Sinterfahnen, Boden- und Deckenzapfen, sogar Excentriques. - -

In the area of the stalagmites, several dead pseudoscorpions (Neobisium -aueri) were found. There is some more description of the floor of the -chamber (I think), but I can't make head nor tail of it. - -

Exploration: Found by Othmar Schauberger, 1921. Looked at for some -years by F Hütter, but always blocked by snow. In October 1976, G Graf -managed to descend 30m in the shaft, the uppermost part of which was snow -and ice free. The continuation of the way could not be found. In August -1977, 5kg of salt was dumped onto the snow blockage. In October 1977, after -a long walk over the plateau, it was looked at again and successfully -explored. -

Altitude: 1680m - -

Location: Austrian kataster says Hinterbräuning, south of -Bräuning Nase, but this isn´t where their map shows it. Map shows it -south east of Schwarzmoossattel, on east side of upper Kratzer valley below -Schwarzmooskogel. - -

The cave was located on the ground by CUCC in 1990 and it is, in fact, -just south of Schwarzmoossattel, which is almost due east of Bräuning -Nase. From the path leaving the col going south, hack off following the -little stream down into the valley. This sinks into the northernmost of a -group of three shafts below a small headwall facing east. - -

Number is in red on the headwall just south of the three entrances. - -

A group of five (presumably small) shafts. One of these was thought, by -the Austrians, to be CUCC's 'B1' of 1976. This, however, is patently not the -case, since the sequence B1-B4 goes up the valley, and B4 is about level, -perhaps slightly lower than 36. - -

Altitude: 1580m - -

Location: In Kratzer valley, some way up valley from Fledermaushöhle (Kat.71). - -

The first step is sprayed by meltwater, and the second step leads to -30m. -A short rope leads to the next step. A rift follows an acute angle under the -entrance way, some metres back. This section is very narrow, and over the -narrow section pours a showerbath. Now a second squeeze leads to a fine pitch -which bends back under the previous section. Then it gets complicated (the -language, not the cave). It sounds like a series of either roomy or narrow -wet pitches. Exploration appears to cease at -60m because of water down the -neck and in the suit. It isn't clear if the cave actually stops at this -point. - -

Altitude: 1680m

There is an obvious freeclimbable shaft/cave just down valley -from the equally obvious shakehole/shaft labelled B4. It is numbered twice, once very faded -and once very badly run (last seen 1996): both numbers are needed to deduce -(with difficulty) that this is indeed "75". - -

This entrance connects with a second shaft just down valley. The Austrian -article describing the cave says it is about 60m long, but this did not -appear to be the case in 1990, since it seems to choke very quickly - -perhaps digging would now be required to get in. - -

Location: At the south foot of Loser (visible from Altaussee). -Reached by traversing west from the Loser path as it draws level with the -cliffs. - -

The round 8m wide by 10m high entrance leads into an upper level, the -Hauptgang, leading north then northeast to Regenhalle, a sizeable chamber -apparently formed on a significant SW-NE joint. Immediately right at the -start of the chamber, a boulder slope leads up into Teilungshalle, from -where a wider slope drops left back into Regenhalle about halfway along. -At the highest point of Teilungshalle, a SE-going passage quickly chokes -with boulders, but appears to be heading directly for the end of Kleines -Loserloch, perhaps 10m away. - -

Keeping to the right (SW) wall entering Teilungshalle, a rift leads SW. -A passage left after 5m quickly ends too tight. A traverse to the left -hand side bypasses a 5m shaft in the floor. 15m beyond, another lead -on the left leads up into a small chamber, Kapelle. The continuing rift, -Südwest-Kluft, gets narrower for c 25m until deemed impassable. - -

Back in Regenhalle, a narrow section along the joint between the two ways -to Teilungshalle, gives access to a lower series via a sharp turn to the -right, due south. This wide passage, Südwest-gang, passes under -Teilungshalle, and turns SW directly under Südwest-Kluft. A narrow rift -on the left parallels the main passage for some way. The main way develops -into Gr. Dom, 12m wide, with a boulder slope up until the passage chokes -comprehensively on a broad front, almost exactly below the cliff outside. - -

At the far (NE) end of Regenhalle, stright on enters a draughting boulder -choke, but two ways up to the right lead into Stufengang, with a complex -of little rifts and an extension NE to a low choked area. - -

Location: E 36305 N 81395 H 1647m
-Depth: 215m to connection below Stellerweg big -pitch. - -

Few details available, since we were for many years unable to obtain a -survey. A figure of over 6 km long in 1987 was quoted, but this would appear -to include the Eishöhle. Contact was finally made -with the French group in 1997 and Denis Motte has sent -us a plan on 12 A3 sheets, dated April 1995, which gives the length as 1885m. -The following description is made up entirely by looking at the survey, and -should not be taken as reliable. It is hoped that we will do better after -visiting the cave with a view to finding its connections with -Stellerweghöhle -(1623/41) and -1623/144. - -

Open shaft descends 5m to first rigging bolt, then short pitch to -snow plug. The way out is to the NE, where the survey shows a couple of -(inaccessible ?) question marks and a traverse over a pit. Narrow rift -continues past another unexplored small passage to the right, and in 20m -opens out into a sizeable chamber. The boulder floor drops away to the -north (left) and ahead. Up right is a bouldery antechamber with the base -of a ramp up SE. A short passage here chokes. - -

20m across the boulder slope, it is possible to descend the slope left -into the main part of Oberpfälzer Halle, 15m wide and -30m long, now heading west, still descending over boulders. To the right is a -15m rift passage with an inlet. Ahead, the chamber narrows, but large -bouldery passage continues with two or three big boulders (over 5m). To SW is -a junction marking the start of Jsartal. Up a steep ramp to -the right (NW) is unexplored, whilst left, south, goes directly below the -entrance in a passage with a slot in the floor. After 25m is a widening and -junction. Right curves round to end below an aven. Left goes quickly to -another junction. Right soon chokes in boulders, whilst left ends quickly in -an undescended rift pitch. - -

Back at the junction at the start of Jsartal, the -main way SW soon traverses a large hole in the floor, then continues as a -small canyon until 50m from the start is a junction in small passage. Right -pops out immediately into the side of a ramp rising right (north) to a choke. -Down ends in a pitch, which is best reached by the small passage left at the -junction. This quickly doglegs and comes out over the pitch on the opposite -side from the ramp. The pitch (undescended) is seen to be a widening in a -deep floor canyon, which continues as Jsartal develops -into an 8m wide rocky chamber through which the floor trench meanders. - -

After a short way, the trench abruptly ends, and a ramp up above it leads -to a junction. Left continues up ramp, but not very far. Right traverses the -ramp (another down-section soon ends), then heads west past another blind -passage on the right, to break out into a larger passage ahead. Left (south) -is the way to Geburtstagsgang, whilst right (north) -eventually leads to the -SchwarzmooskogelEishöhle -connection. - -

Geburtstagsgang

- -

Ascending a low ramp leads past various short side-extensions to -Schafott - apparently a breakthrough point in 1986 ? Beyond -this, small passage continues SW, with a mudbank on the left, for almost 50m -until it widens out and descends a steep slope towards a floor trench. Left -here a further ramp ascends east to a choke. The floor trench continues W, -then NW, but would seem to be too narrow. Staying on the north side of the -trench and heading NW (right from the point of entry) leads through mud -and/or shingle deposits in a small zig-zag passage which meets first a small -canyon which doesn't go, and then a T-junction over another canyon. - -

Right ends after ten metres or so, whilst left (west) meets another -junction where a further trench comes in from the left (south). This -also appears to be too small to follow, but would seem likely to connect -with one or both of the trenches seen earlier. Ahead reaches a chamber, -with a steep slope down left to yet another trench, but staying high -gains the continuation of Geburtstagsgang continuing -small with a narrow floor canyon. This now goes NW for 50m, to a T-junction. -Right ends almost immediately, whilst left shortly pops out in bigger passage -on a ledge overlooking a small stream. - -

Right in the canyon, 12m away, is bigger passage -(Großer Cañon), and the -original way to Stellerweghöhle, whilst ahead/left goes west, quickly -picking up an inlet from the left and dropping 30m in Ungarn -Cañon, a narrow way for 50m, to where exploration ceased. It is -not clear, but this may well be a pitch, quite possibly into part of the -Stellerweg system. - -

To Stellerweghöhle

- -

By going right at the start of Ungarn Cañon, -large, bouldery passage is soon met at a T-junction. To the right is an -alternative route from the entrance via -Frankenschnellweg and -Großer Cañon. This route was found first, -but the survey numbering suggests it was surveyed later and I might deduce -that this is not the normal way. - -

Left in the bigger passage is over boulders, passing a short passage on -the left. A hole in the floor of this appears to connect to -Ungarn Cañon. Ahead, a slit in the floor is -traversed (on the right ?) to reach a pair of large boulders. Up right here -ends quickly in an unclimbable sediment wall. Continuing west, the trench -reappears (now traversed on left) and soon expands to be a large hole in the -floor. It is unclear from the survey how this is crossed, but on the far -side, it would appear that a pitch of c 35m is descended, over jammed blocks. -Rising steeply to the right (north) from (the foot ?) here is an unascended -ramp, which seems likely to connect to unsurveyed passages below Roddick's -Dive in 1623/144. - -

A continuation WNW from this point would appear to be part of the -streamway below the Big Pitch -in Stellerweghöhle. This in turn suggests that -the 35m or so descent must be in the lower part of this shaft, and the ramp -seen to the right starts some way above the foot of the pitch. - -

Frankenschnellweg and the way to -the Eishöhle

- -

From the junction at the west of Jsartal, large -passage heads north for a short way to a T-junction. Right encounters two -floor trenches, the right hand of which soon widens to a 3m deep blind pit. -Across this is 25m of rising passage to a choke. Left soon swings round and -heads north again, passong another short, blind ascending way on the left. A -short section of floor trench is traversed and a short way beyond is -Brotzeitplatz, where a large cross-rift goes a short -distance left and right. - -

Ahead is Frankenschnellweg, a rifty passage with rounded -roof, heading north with an initial floor trench. Thirty metres or so from -Brotzeitplatz another cross-rift is met, this time at -an angle. This is the start of a slightly mazey area. To the right is narrow -for 30m to the edge of a wide shaft, Regenschacht, 4m deep. -By traversing right on the near edge, a small passage is gained which circles -all the way round to the far side, then ends in a small aven. - -

Ahead in Frankenschnellweg, another cross-rift is -encountered less than 20m ahead. Right turns sharply back and connects to the -Regenschacht passage about halfway along. Left is too -narrow to follow, but lines up with another section of rift in the mazey -area. Continuing north in Frankenschnellweg, the -boulder floor changes and a steep slope down leads to the lip of a canyon at -Puits du Sable. Directly opposite is a short blind ramp up. -Right is the way to Grand Galerie, -described below, whilst left is the start of Großer -Cañon. - -

Großer Cañon

- -

This is the deep rift reached at the end of -Frankenschnellweg, but it is not -clear that this is the best way to get to it. Back at the start of the mazey -area, the way left (SW) is boulder-floored rift which continues for twenty -metres or so until a junction. Ahead chokes, but two ways right soon unite. -The left way looks harder - a traverse over a trench, whilst the right way is -boulder floored. Beyond the reunion is narrower, with a slot in the floor, -and zig-zagging roughly NW, though clearly interrupted by a number of SW-NE -joints. One of these can be followed for ten or fifteen metres, where it -becomes too narrow, but lined up with a cross-rift in -Frankenschnellweg. - -

After this joint, the next junction is effectively an oxbow on the -left, where a bat was found during exploration. Ahead soon reaches the top of -the Großer Cañon, some 40m downstream from the -point reached in Frankenschnellweg. A descent to the -bottom at this point is a 30m pitch. Directly across from the point of entry -is a ramp up, with various sediment banks, leading to -Sophienhalle. To the right goes back -towards the Puits du Sable and -Grand Galerie - see below. - -

To the left, Großer Cañon heads SW in -a classic meander, or traversing rift. Give or take a couple of zags, this is -straight for almost 100m, at which point it is interrupted by a bouldery -chamber of about 10m diameter. Beyond, Großer -Cañon continues S then SW again, getting wider. Boulders hide -the trench, and the passage curves west. To the left is the way in via -Geburtstagsgang and on to Ungarn -Cañon. Ahead is the main way into -Stellerweg, described above. It is not clear whether -the stream below Großer Cañon goes on -this way, or joins Ungarn Cañon. - -

Grande Galerie

- -

Upstream in Großer Cañon, most easily -reached by the Puits du Sable, ascending passage heads -east, and soon develops into a very wide passage with a deep canyon floor. It -looks as if this passage is done at the level of the bottom of the canyon, -which leads up, passing an inlet on the right, to a large pool at the foot of -Puits Madonna. This is ascended to reach a similar level to -the point of entry above Puits du Sable. The -continuation enlarges into Grande Galerie, soon attaining -impressive dimensions of 15m wide by 20m high. Question marks mark apparently -inaccessible passages, two on the right and one on the left. - -

Beyond a couple of impressive boulders, a climb up leads to a smaller -continuation. To the right is a hole in the floor with passage beyond, -but left is a ramp up which soon rejoins the passage beyond the hole. The -way gets bigger again, in passage first explored from -Schwarzmooskogeleishöhle, -until after 50m, it ends at the foot of a thirty metre pitch from the other -cave. - -

Sophienhalle

- -

On the NW side of Großer Cañon, -directly opposite the entry via the mazey area, or 40m downstream from the -entry via Puits du Sable, is a ramp up NNW. Right and -left are walls of sediment, but the main way suddenly turns right, though -still ascending steeply. The ramp eases and becomes more bouldery, now -heading NE, suddenly to end at a widening above a deep undescended pit. A -climb up on the right of this reaches the top of the far wall, in a large N-S -collapse chamber, Sophienhalle. This shows clear bedding in -the walls, and appears to have formed by spalling. Over the boulder floor, -another steep wall precedes a ramp down to a choke. Dotted lines suggest a -northward continuation, though whether this is above or below the ramp is -unclear. - -

    Location: Out on the plateau, near a large north-facing fault -scarp on 125-305°. Perhaps best located when looking for Wolfhöhle -(which is nowhere nearby) in the mist (see -1984 logbook). -There was an OAV ski-tourers' marker pole due north of the col, from which -the entrance is about 50m away on 35°. Unfortunately, the pole was pretty -much invisible from the approach route in 1977, and is now rotting on the -ground, only visible from a metre away at best. However, the cave was -relocated in 1998. It turns out to be very close to the -faintly-marked path which leads past Lost -Rucksack Cave towards CUCC 1996-05, -and is a short way south of 1623/173. - -

    Entrance is in a rift orientated 40°-220° and hading about -20°. A 5m climb down leads to a horizontal passage going both ways, -north leading out into the face of the scarp (101A). South (down dip) leads -to a 4m pitch followed by a small crawl in a scree-floored phreatic tube, -leading down dip, at about 30°. This drops via a short climb into a -meandering phreatic tube with a tiny stream slot fed by an aven on the left. -Progress is by crawling in the roof tube, which goes for about 40m until a -window in the right wall leads to the base of an aven. The continuing crawl -is too small, while a climb down below the aven (undescended) appears to -choke. - -

    Location: On the plateau in a prominent dry valley below -southern forepeak of Hinterer Schwarzmooskogel, some way below Laser -Point 0_5. The bottom of the gully is pretty much on the (cairned) best -walking route from Top Camp to Bräuninghöhle -(Kat.82) and Eislufthöhle (Kat.76). - -

    Photo of entrance
    - -

    Small entrance in boulders in a dry gully drops into a small chamber, in -the bottom corner of which is the excavated head of a pitch. This quickly -bells out to 6m diameter and lands after 18m in a large passage which -contains ice-formations early in the season. This large, phreatic passage -chokes in both directions and the way on is in a rift to one side, from -which the draught pours. - -

    A pitch of 23m has an inlet entering part way down, which makes the rest -of this pitch and the following one of 19m unpleasant in wet weather. Two -ways then lead on, either down with the water or by traversing round this -drop to another passage. - -

    Climbing down with the water leads to a short passage with the water in a -rift below. Round a sharp corner is a short drop to the head of a larger -rift. A 5m pitch down this leads to another rift which, in turn, leads out -to the side of a large shaft. Stones dropped from a small hole in the corner -of the passage above the 5m pitch also fall into this shaft. Laddering from -the side, the pitch is 67m with a large ledge just above half-way, and is -unpleasantly wet in poor weather. From the base of this pitch, the -continuing rift/canyon trends south west and has pitches of 5, 9 and 8m -before the other route drops in from above. - -

    Over the traverse, a short pitch of 4.5m, followed by a short climb up, -leads to the head of a pitch of 10m to a boulder floor. Two ways on from -here are down through the boulders into a shaft, or across the shaft and -into a narrow rift. The way through boulders soon chokes, but the narrow -rift soon opens into a massive shaft of 100m with a rebelay roughly halfway. -This drops directly into the rift reached by the original route. - -

    Below the junction, the rift continues with a 5m climb and pitches of 5, -14 and 44m, this last pitch being quite wet and emerging into a massive -cross-rift trending south east. The water disappears into the choked floor -of this rift via a nasty wet crawl, rapidly becoming too small. - -

    Exploration: CUCC 1978: opened and Big Rift explored by Team Youth. -Team Geriatric explored the Big Pitch and reached the bottom. -

    Entrance is 2m high and 1m wide and walking passage leads for 120m of -level going to first pitch, with a few side passages (one to higher -entrance). Pitch is 19m into Wolf Chamber where the skeleton proved -not to be of a wolf but of a Brown Bear, Ursus arctos. A pit in the -floor, the Bear Pit is blind, and the continuation of the entrance -pitch emits no draught and is believed to choke, but was never seriously -investigated. A loose 3m climb at the far end of the chamber leads up into a -draughting tube. This leads to an awkward 15m slimy tube descent, Bog -Seat Climb, best laddered. A short grovel enlarges to a sandy stooping -passage which pops out over the edge of a large black hole. Off to the left -at this point a crawl intersects a larger passage leading to another set of -smaller shafts only partially descended. It is also possible to reach the -opposite side of the big pitch by this route. - -

    The 83m Big Leap is rigged in three sections of 22, 25 and 36m via -two freehanging rebelays and a deviation near the bottom, in a large rift -with black peaty mud on the walls in the upper section. The rift narrows and -bottoms out in a small streamway blocked here and there by jammed boulders -which no longer (since 1984) constitute a squeeze. Short traverses and -pitches of 15m and 6m are straightforward until a second large shaft is -reached. The water cannot be avoided on the 59m Tiddley Pom pitch, -which can become a serious proposition in wet weather. The first section is -11m, to the level where a heavy drip (rapidly becoming a torrent in -thunderstorms) enters. The rebelay bolt is tucked away to the left, a long -reach round the corner. Further sections of 17 and 24m in a circular shaft of -about 6m diameter reach a big wet ledge. The final section of 7m reaches a -big dry stance on jammed boulders, Cold Toes Ledge. This is far enough -out of the water to be an acceptable place to sit and wait for 16 hours, or -to brew soup. - -

    The stream continues to drop in a rift, with pitches of 13 and 14m from -jammed boulders. The water then sinks into a slit, Nobody Knows, -which was descended for 15m before becoming too tight. To continue, traverse -over this hole and continue a short way to a large black chasm, the 112m -Fear and Loathing Pitch, involving some airy traversing near the top. -Sections of 10, 29 and 16m reach Acrobat Flake, where careful rigging -is required to avoid a particularly gymnastic changeover for the next -section of 16m. The rift (never wider than 3-4m) continues with drops of 18 -and 23m to land on an unpleasant bit of damp floor: Las Vegas. - -

    A particularly unpleasant mud-walled rift, Beezley Street, -("where the rats have rickets") continues as a traverse if you can -stay up, or a nasty thrutch otherwise. This ends abruptly where an aven -brings clean washed limestone for the next 14m pitch. A clean, but sharp -traverse continues to corkscrewing 18 and 5m pitches into The Drainage -Ditch, a wading depth section of passage occasionally blocked by -boulders, which hold back the static pools. Short pitches of 8, 9 and 7m -twist down to another section of drainage ditch which continues for a few -more metres to a static sump 399m below the main entrance. - -

    A hole above the sump leads to a small, muddy, grovelly continuation to -some small avens and a further sump, before closing down. - -

    Geology : Tubes near the entrance are formed along the prominent -NE-SW joint direction in the area, which so dominates the nearby Bräuninghöhle, and the cave trends generally SW -as it drops. However, all the major vertical development is in deep shafts -on joints at right-angles to this major trend, on a strike of about -120-300°. Fear and Loathing pitch in particular is in a strikingly -narrow rift over 110m deep, suggesting an almost vertical joint. Below this -shaft there is very little significant jointing, and the cave meanders -considerably before the dismal end another 140m SW. - -

    Exploration: CUCC 1983-4. There is now a -history file indexing -into the log book write-ups. - -

    Survey: There is a particularly inadequate elevation only in -Cambridge Underground 1985. There is an area -plan, drawn at 1:2000, showing 145, 82 and 148 on Gauß and Krüger coordinates, which has -never been published.
    - -There is enough survey bumph to draw a respectable plan. - -

    Location: On the plateau, next to cairned path from the col past -82 leading to 107 etc., just by a short climb up; noticeable by (and -discovered by) its cold outward draught. - -

    Not really pushed in 1984, since discovered right at the end, but -relocated in 1987: horizontal tube entrance about 1m in diameter. An awkward -crawl over boulders for 10m leads to a squeeze down behind a boulder with -light entering ahead. Short freeclimb reaches a phreatic tube of about 3m -diameter. To the right silts up in boulders while to the left descends -gently over snow and big rocks to reach a sizeable chamber and pitch of -about 20m. Avoiding the pitch, a route down through boulders for 3m reaches -a very unstable boulder slope, which is crossed to reach another 3m pitch to -a rift with a further pitch on the left. To the right, the roof lowers over -large boulders, and a small ice chamber is reached with a frozen stream. A -narrow section leads down to a rift of 5m down to an earthy passage. - -

    Back at the boulder slope (I think), the 20m pitch can again be attained -and from here is 15m to the floor of a 20m high chamber with three ways on. -Facing away from pitch, righthand rift leads to a flat-out crawl over ice. -This passes remarkable ice formations to emerge at The Ice Castle, a -chamber with a large ice-stalagmite formation. The route terminates in a -steep ice slope at the far side of the chamber. - -

    Way directly ahead from pitch is a 3m climb into a large phreatic tube -round a 90° bend to a solid wall of boulders. Ways into the choke -proved very loose and tight, but a continuing rift/chamber could be seen -through a tiny but strongly draughting hole. - -

    Third way on from pitch ascends steeply and becomes tight, with a jammed -boulder now in the way. Route ends at a steep ice-climb for which no -equipment was available. - -

    -entrance picture - 87k jpeg -164 entrance (left of centre) seen over 189 entrance. - -

    The entrance pitch is 10m, and has a detectable draught - quite strong in -view of the size of the entrance. There was only the remains of a snow plug -in 1988, although the plug is almost complete in some years (eg. 1995 - it was gone again in 1996). - -

    A small stream enters and lands on boulders at the foot of the pitch in a -passage leading south along a fault. A climb of 4m over precarious boulders -reaches a bolt for the second pitch. The quality of rock in this area leaves -a lot to be desired. The second pitch, 12m and third pitch, 15m are separated -only by a small ledge. Water sinks in floor of small passage floored with -what would appear to be the previous season's roof, now decayed into small -jagged rocks. Continuing passage over boulders rises to 4-5m dropping steeply -for 30m on the same south-trending fault. The water is rejoined at a -freehanging 10m pitch from a rock bridge overlooking a sizeable chamber. - -

    The stream sinks at the foot of the pitch in the centre of the 15m by 7m -chamber floor. To the east, a scramble leads up to a shattered cross-rift -from a large shelf about 15m long and 10m wide, but ends too tight. A similar -feature to the west up a 4m climb becomes a low bedding with no way on. Due -south are two passages, the one to the right leading 20m round a couple of -bends to a sandy choke. The left passage quickly chokes. The draught seems to -be lost into the continuation of the passage above the final pitch, on the -far side of the chamber. This would be best reached by a traverse on steep -loose rock from the 4m climb in the chamber. The pitches take large -quantities of water very quickly in rain. - -

     Entrance Rift
    - -

    The main entrance joins with a secondary, slightly smaller entrance in a -daylit chamber on top of a snow plug. Sky can be seen through a third -entrance in the ceiling, which is surrounded by undergrowth on the surface. -A hole down the back edge of the snow plug leads to a slither down a -partially iced steep (30°) boulder slope, with a low ceiling which soon -rises. A large boulder several metres across is jammed across the slope at a -few metres further down, below which the boulder slope continues. An inlet -to the left just before an ice formation soon becomes too tight. Carrying -on, the slope soon gives way to a traverse above a vadose canyon, with a -laddered climb (6m) after about 25m. It is possible to continue along the -top of the rift all the way to above the top of shell pitch. It is much -more spacious than below but has a couple of bad steps. - -

    From the bottom of the ladder, the passage soon drops down a climb of 2m. -Then there is a winding, rifty passageway, named "Magic Mushroom -Passage" due to the peculiar mushroom-like formations on the walls. -These, together with the white dusty look of the walls in places, give the -cave its name. After 100m the rift widens, and a traverse develops above a -narrower rift below. The upper level may be followed to above the first rope -pitch, but the more usual route is to climb down a rock pile into the lower -rift (40cm wide), which is known as the Yorkshire Ripper, due to the -effect of the sharp, narrow rift on oversuits, and the Yorkshire feel of the -cave at this point. After 15m, relieved at one point by a small alcove with -an irritating spray of water, the narrow rift widens, after a final -flourish, to the head of the first rope pitch (6m). - -

     Shell Pitch
    - -

    Carrying on from the base of the pitch, the tiny rift in the floor -deepens, and traversing along leads soon to the head of Shell pitch -(19m). Descending gives a fine view of the chamber, the walls of which -contain many large bivalve fossils (hence the pitch's name). From this -chamber, a short traverse leads to a junction. Left is an unclimbable aven, -whilst to the right is Piezo de Resistance, described below. The main -route is currently down Q8 pitch which is broken by a ledge after -16m. After a further 9m and a rebelay, a pendulum through a window to one -side leads on. Descending further, the shaft stops after 19m and a further -rebelay. There are no passable ways on from the bottom (Strike -One). - -

    After the pendulum, a vast army of rebelays lies in wait (Dot to -Dot), eventually ending in a larger pitch (25m) the bottom of which, -again, has no ways on (Strike Two). - -

    Yet again, a pendulum (at -14m) yields more cave (Bottom Bypass). -A dubious 11m hang leads to a ledge. At one end of the ledge, ducking under -an arch enters a chamber at the bottom of a high shaft (Lady's Loo), -down which a vast torrent pours in wet weather. A further 9m down from the -ledge is a floor. Progress can be made along the top of a slimy keyhole -shaped rift (Tarzan's Folly) which is irritating to pass, especially -with tackle. After 20m, a false floor appears and a few metres further on is -The Dark Room, a high chamber with dark, textured walls. A waterfall -cascades down from unfathomable heights, and pounds onto a ledge to the back -right of the cavern. - -

    Climbing down a slimy slope (which in an ideal world would be lined) the -way on is along a rift which exits from the rear of the chamber on the left -side. The rift has a couple of false floors in it. The middle level leads to -the head of the next pitch: Natural Redundancy (11m) is reached after -about 10m. The rope is belayed to a large chock stone at head level, then to -a bolt about two inches from a beautifully rounded thread, hence the name. -Cyclotron pitch follows immediately, then comes Quark, Strangeness -and Charm, a rift passage with many possible traverse levels. In places -there are flowstone bosses, and near the roof, some odd tippex stals -can be seen. The formations are only notable due to their rarity in the -caves of this region. - -

    QSC Photo - 50k -
    Quark Strangeness & Charm - Cloud Chamber
    - -

    At the end of QS&C, the passage sweeps round to the left as the floor -drops away into Cloud Chamber. The pitch is broken by two rebelays. -The grade 5 survey stops about 20m back from the pitch head. The details of -the passage leading to the next pitch are uncertain, although the consensus -is that it is around 20-30m long, and fairly straight. The lack of -information led to the name Amnesia Alleyway. The next pitch is -NDE, an acronym for "Near Death Experience", since a party of cavers -was flood-pulsed just below this pitch during the initial exploration. This -incident also named The Delicate Sound of Thunder, another rift -passage with a traverse along to a pitch (Traditional Style - laddered -in 1991, marking the end of exploration that year). - -

    After the first 5m slope to a rebelay, Traditional Style drops 12m (with -one deviation) to a wide shelf. At the right hand edge is another 12m pitch. -This lands in a muddy area which quickly becomes a very muddy steeply -descending rift. An 8m pitch (2 bolts, Y-hang) a bit of clambering and a 5m -pitch (one bolt) get you to a washing-up-bowl-sized sump at -292m. - -

    5m up on the left hand wall (by the last bit of string) is a muddy crawl. -This is below the 'tide-mark' of the sump so is somewhat oppressive. It -leads, after 8m to a high parallel rift. A couple of 2m climbs ahead lead -back down to another, slightly larger, sump. The rift rises at least 20m, -apparently without connecting back to the main descent route. - -

    Piezo de Resistance

    - -

    From the head of "Q8" pitch, an alternative route may be followed along -a rift on a fault at 20-200°, hading 80° to the west. Taking -the passage to the right, a traverse develops after 10m. Water sinks into a -hole in the floor after a further 10m, and beyond this, is a 9m pitch, -followed after 10m or so by a longer pitch of 16mm. - -

    Crow's Nest      The Chimney
    - -

    This lands on a ledge with an obvious continuation below, but the -route, to keep away from potential water, takes a much more interesting -route. It goes up a 6m pitch to the Crow's Nest, a narrow rock rib -separating two parts of the shaft. This was originally reached by a bolt -traverse round the right hand wall. From the Crow's Nest, The -Chimney drops 30m in typical Puffball triangular pitch (elliptical -joint-aligned phreas cut down on lower side by vadose action). The rope -stays resolutely on the upper side with a series of epic hanging -rebelays. - -

    At the bottom a 34m freehang lands in the Darkroom, but the bottom of -this is in the waterfall (noted in the Darkroom description), so the -route goes through a window near the top of the hang which gives a nice -dry 30m hang. - - -

Shortly ahead is an abrupt -headwall, below which is the shaft of Lost Rucksack Cave (given -temporary number CUCC 1993 01).

    Found in 1993, it was intended to mark the cave but not descend. However -Adam Cooper's rucksack (containing the rope), placed unwisely near the edge, -made the first descent. Adam followed on a ladder to retrieve it, then placed -a bolt for a further descent on rope. The shaft continued beside a snow -plug, but was deemed unsuitable for further exploration in shorts. The -find was not relocated in 1993, so exploration stopped. Found again in 1995 -whilst marking other known entrances, and probably seen again in 1996. - -

    After a first descent placing a bolt again showed it unsuitable for -exploration in shorts, a determined effort by Wookey in 1998 pushed the -second pitch, between hanging death ice and snow to a definite choke. -However, partway down this pitch was a window with a draught, leading to a -third pitch (one bolt at takeoff, another just below). This was nn metres to -a final choke. - -

    The whole cave is formed on a fault which forms a SE-facing scarp on the -surface. A short distance NE of the entrance, the fault line cuts a -lower-lying area. The draught, which was mostly outward through the head of -the third pitch during the final exploratory trip, periodically reverses for -10-15 seconds. It would appear to be powered by surface breezes via various -other small windows to the surface, most probably including ones lower down -in the depression to the NE. - -

    Two snow plugged dolines (76 b & c) and a narrow shaft (76a) unite in -a narrow rift leading to a windy lifelining position, Draught -Bitter, at the head of a 72m shaft plugged with snow. Rigging -Plugged Shaft between snow and rock, pitches in 1977 were 18m to a -snow platform, 12m to a ledge, then 29m to a substantial ledge, -Yesterday's Terminus. In 1979, with changed snow topography, and -rigging for SRT, the drops were 11, 7, 17 and 19m to Yesterday's Terminus -where a traverse out reaches a bolt for the final 13m drop onto a snow pile -in a large aven chamber. A further 13m pitch, Saved Shaft, into a -smaller aven chamber, Boulder Chamber, leads to an apparent end, -but thrutch through boulders into top of rift/canyon. Hole in floor is 32m -pitch into Keg Series (no draught) with further unexplored pitch -below. Continuing traverse leads to climbs down then split pitch of 19m and -14m, Follow-through Shaft, dropping into side of abandoned canyon. -Upstream to the left ends immediately while down canyon leads to head of a -chamber, The Taproom, with a 5m climb down a big boulder under heavy -drip/spray (handline useful). Also from the head of the chamber, passage -leads back to a large unexplored hole in floor with lots of water entering -from a high aven. 1977 terminus at -150m. - -

    From chamber, scramble down in rift (rope useful owing to greasy rock and -120 metre drop) to reach head of large rift pitch below jammed boulder. -Pitch drops in two sections of 10m and 35m, with stream out of reach in -canyon, to ledge where stream bed is crossed (traverse line). Further pitch -of 10m leads to straddle climb up to rocking boulder, then traverse forward -to good belays for 48m pitch. This lands on The Balcony where water -runs away from obvious way on into a tight immature drain. - -

    From the Balcony a 7m pitch drops into the Hall of the Greene King, -a huge soaring aven chamber. The way on over a boulder floor leads under -suspended boulders, one of immense size, to a 5m pitch down off the edge of a -boulder. In the floor is a sharp canyon that loops round to a junction. Left -leads to Gents' Pitch route, while right leads to a dry passage. After -a few metres in the dry passage, there is a rift in the floor to the left, -which is a muddy, broken pitch with sections of 3m, 12m and 18m into the main -canyon (1978 route). Another few metres ahead, a bold step across the canyon -leads to further passage which eventually degenerates and rejoins the main -canyon upstream (right) of the bold step. - -

    The 1979 route from the junction leads to a pitch of 16.5m, free hanging -just clear of the wall, with an excellent takeoff. However the rope gets -muddy from mud on clothing in a couple of trips, so care is required. Next -drop is the Gents' pitch of 9.5m, which leads to a short streamway rejoining -the main canyon from the 1978 route. The bottom of this pitch is a good place -for cavers to perform ablutions with the mud on their ascenders, hence the -name (all the explorers were male). The main passage now leads on with stream -in floor and muddy ledges above until the Fiesta Run is reached. This -awkward slanting rift pitch of 28m is so muddy that ladders are de -rigeur. The name derives from the car crash which terminated -exploration at this point in 1978. - -

    A traverse forward on muddy ledges leads out over a huge shaft with the -ominous sound of a waterfall below. Traversing further eventually leads to a -further pitch of 5m to a col. Down another 10m on the side away from the main -shaft lands on a solid floor in an abandoned rift. Forward leads through -narrow passage with sharp rock to a point where thrutchy traversing is -necessary to make further progress. A 23m broken pitch in sharp rock, with -very bad rub points leads only to a tight crawl. This was pushed by Julian -Griffiths to emerge at a drop with a large aven above, which remains -unexplored at about -395m depth. - -

    The main way on, however, is to drop back into canyon towards the ominous -hiss of water in a very wide pitch where the stream seems to have hit a -fault at right angles to the arriving passage direction. The middle section -of this 28m pitch is huge, before narrowing to a ledge parallel to the new -fault, and 'downstream' from the original direction of stream flow. From the -ledge, a smaller shaft of 33m drops down the new fault rift to a boulder -floor where the water sinks. The fault rift, Madlmeier Schacht, now -drops in sections of 24 and 19m to the end of the rope in 1979. Here an -exposed freeclimb of 5m with icy water flowing over the handholds is not -really recommended - take a longer rope. Next pitch of 24m picks up the main -water again 10m down, and final pitch of 17m from ledge drops to floor of -rift chamber, but mud on floor precedes final muddy 10m pitch down a boulder -wall to a deep and terminal rift sump at -506m. - -

    There are a number of going leads in this cave and you're welcome to them. - -

    The entrance is prominently numbered 106 which is the number we had -allocated to it, but a description of the cave was published in the Belfry -Bulletin, which is seen by Alfred Auer, who allocated his own number to it -in advance of our report. - -

    Very obvious walking sized cave entrance leads to a boulder strewn -passage (ice formations early in season) into an aven with daylight entering -20m above. A scramble over boulders leads to Apfelschacht - a 6m -pitch with loose boulders at the head. This drops to a 3m climb and then a -20m pitch Orangenschacht with a trickle of water entering halfway -down. From the foot, a fine keyhole passage imaginatively named -Schlüssellochgang, and a choice of routes. The most obvious -way on is a 10m pitch, Bierschacht over a stalagmite flow to an -awkward crawl, Worm Passage, which looked likely to end things. -However, this opens out suddenly at a pitch head. Nocheinbierschacht -is 15m, impressively free. At the foot, a vocal connection can be made with a -phreatic passage above the third pitch which ends in a big hole. - -

    Ahead is a phreatic tunnel which chokes, and a large black emptiness. -This is descended for 25m in four 6m steps, Viermalbierschacht, to -a ledge big enough for one and a bit people. The stream goes over this ledge -into a large black void. This pitch, Besoffene, is 50m and hangs -free for all but the last 8m in a very impressive shaft. From the foot, -traverse above a steeply dropping stream canyon to a sloping platform from -which a 17m pitch reaches the stream floor. This cascades over a further 6m -pitch, below which a climb out of the stream reaches a rig point for a 30m -pitch ending on a slope down to a sump at -216m. - -

    Approach: From Schwarzmoossattel, follow cairned path below the -Bräuning Wall, past Top Camp (1988 -on). Where this path meets the scree/snow slope from the wall, it turns -right, out onto the plateau (this is the main path to Gschwandt-Alm, in -frequent use). - -

    100m from the right turn is a snow field on the right, with the sound of -falling water at its lower edge. This is the entrance to 91 and from here, 93 -is 20m further away from the Bräuning Wall. - -

    -Position: E 35840.2 N (52)83041.3 (west edge of doline)
    -Marking: "97" in red paint on doline wall - -

    Location: Out on the plateau. Head across for the large erratic -boulders near 76 (aka 106), then away from the col -past the open shaft of 105, turning left at a gap in -the scrub which leads down a bare karren corridor to some dolines. Step -across one and cast about for a large one with 97 in red paint. - -

    A moderately large doline, usually without snow, has a small triangular -opening at the SW end. This is the head of a 10m freeclimbable chimney, -followed by a 5m climb into a small chamber. Two ways on from the chamber -unite in a tiny crawl under a drip. A thrutch through (about the size of -Baptistry in Car Pot) is The Nun's Cunt, which ends abruptly at -The Vestry, where SRT gear can be put back on while perched above -the pitch which follows. Drops of 15m, 20m and 20m, The Bottomless -Abbess, lead to a traverse over a blind pitch of about 10m. - -

    The Bottomless Abbess continues with pitches of 15m, 30m, 15m and 15m to a -short horizontal section. This breaks out into the side of another shaft -where 15m and 10m pitches lead to a more complex area. A short pitch of 6m -leads to the Priest's Hole and a gently slanting ramp into a dry, -dusty, abandoned phreatic passage. This is interrupted by a large hole in -the floor, which would require bolts to cross. - -

    Down the hole, the 25m pitch starts unpromisingly, but soon bells out -into a magnificent trench passage. Traversing over a gully leads to a series -of short climbs and a fine last pitch The Dissolution. Here the water -sinks into an impenetrable crack. - -

    The entrance draughts strongly, but there is no air movement at the end, -the most likely way on being the traverse to reach the continuation of the -phreatic level at -190m. Unfortunately, the trip to this point is quite -severe, since the crawl would render rescue impractical and the Bottomless -Abbess rapidly becomes very wet after rain. - -

    Draughting entrance near Eislufthöhle -(1623/76), ignored at first, since it was assumed it -would join 76. - -

    Entrance gully of 5m leads to 20m pitch at 70° over snow, heading -roughly back towards Eislufthöhle. At the base is a 'snow-duck' under a -rock wall beyond which a small rift-like chamber descends about 3m. Straight -ahead at the same level, the rift quickly becomes an impenetrable slot -through which can be seen a 2m wide passage with an ice floor running down -from right to left at 5-10°. This is the source of the strong draught. -Below the slot is another low hole, this leaks a vague draught and leads to -a small boulder-strewn ledge with a definite blackness continuing to the -left behind more boulders. Energetic but nervous removal of these gave -obvious signs of a continuation, but other commitments and rain prevented a -return. - -

    Altitude: 1950m
    -Depth: 295m
    -Length: 235m - -

    Location: About 300m along the north side of the ridge running -east from Hohes Augst-Eck, about 50m from the summit of the ridge at the foot -of a 5m cliff, a 1m diameter tube. [no surface survey info or coordinates]. - -

    Overview: A deep and serious cave in a very remote location, with -numerous Puits en bayonettes, from which rescue would be virtually -impossible after a tortuous tube at -100m. - -

    The 1m diameter entrance is followed by a walking sized phreatic passage -with further entrances in the roof. This continues to a four-way junction. -Straight on soon chokes at a boulder slope. Up to the left, the passage -winds back to a further entrance. The way on is down to the right. The 5m -high passage continues, passing low crawls on the left and right to a point -where the roof lowers and the passage is split horizontally. The lower -passage leads to an extensive series of low crawls whilst the upper passage -continues to a squeeze past a debris cone with a distinct draught. Past the -debris cone the passage splits again. The right hand passage chokes soon -after a 12m pitch but the left hand passage carries on as a hands and knees -crawl, crosses a blind 4m pit and soon reaches the first pitch. - -

    A fine descent of 66m in a large shaft lands on a boulder ledge with the -second pitch following on immediately. This descends 50m to a 15cm -wide rift. Although there is a possible continuation beyond, this would -require considerable effort to enter and was not pushed. A climb up to a -window above the second pitch (krab and sling left rigged) gains a climb -down to the boulder-strewn foot of an aven and a horizontal tube going off -(not explored). 13m down the second pitch, Fledermaus ledge can be -gained, with a passage leading off to Fledermaus pitch, named for the -quantities of bat skeletons at its head. This 27m descent reaches about the -same level as the base of the second pitch, and is blind except for a small -slot in one wall. Traversing over Fledermaus leads to a small chamber with -two tubes leading off, both draughting. The left tube becomes too tight, but -a pitch can be seen beyond the constriction. The right tube is the Organ -Grinder. - -

    The Organ Grinder is 46m of exceedingly tortuous passage - nowhere -extremely tight but twisting and turning, rising and falling, requiring a -unique combination of contortions. It is best tackled feet first on the way -in (head first on the way out) until a flat out crawl near the end which -leads to the crux: a U-bend, best approached head first on the descent. This -is even more difficult on the return, when it is best tackled feet first. -UBSS's times to pass this passage varied from 10 minutes to 3½ hours, with -an average of 20 minutes. There is just room to replace SRT gear before the -following pitch. The return of an injured person through this tube would -be almost impossible without extensive modification of the cave. - -

    The third pitch descends 42m, passing two windows, to a floor with -no way on. From the foot of the pitch, a 3m climb up to a ledge reveals two -climbs down. One of thse is blind, but the other leads to an undescended -pitch of c20m. - -

    Both of the windows in the third pitch connect with Topher's -pitch, and the lower one was rigged. From here the pitch is 86m with a -large ledge near the bottom. At the foot, a window leads to an aven, whilst -in the opposite wall, another window looks onto the fifth pitch, Toccata -and Feuge (sic). - -

    Toccata and Feuge is best descended from a ledge above the large ledge in -Topher's pitch. Rigged mainly from flakes and threads, it drops in a series -of steps, 39m in total. A small hole in the floor drops into a chamber with -no passable way on - just two exits, both too tight. 10m back up the pitch, -a ledge can be gained and is the start of the Rift Climb. This is a -40m descent, and is best rigged as a self-lined climb. The rift continues -for some distance horizontally, but has not been followed. Below the Rift -climb, the head of another pitch can be gained, but great care should be -exercised in the Rift Climb and this following pitch (The Pitch of the -Flying Boulders) as there are many loose rocks, which, when dislodged, -fall the full depth of both pitches. From the bottom of Topher's Pitch to -the head of PotFB, many fossils of "large bivalves and snails on sticks" -protrude up to 25mm from the rock. - -

    The PotFB was rigged from a thread and is somewhat awkward for 6m to a -rebelay, after which it hangs free. The 32m descent lands in The Hall of -the Flying Boulders, which again contains much loose rock, choking the -floor level. However, a 2m climb up a mudbank leads to an impressive phreatic -passage. A pit in the floor of this passage drops to a chamber with a deep -well. Passing this, and a smaller side passage on he left, one soon reaches -Another Bloody Pitch with a strong draught at the head. The side -passage also joins this pitch. Another Bloody Pitch is 31m, but ends blind. -A window part way down reaches a further shaft of 36m, also blind, but this -is the deepest explored point, at -295m. - -

    From the head of Another Bloody Pitch, a continuation of the phreatic -passage can be seen, but will not be reached without a serious bolted -traverse. It is thought that this is the main way on, at c260m depth. - -

    Above the large depression, LA25 is an open, but obscure hole on a bedding shelf. - -

    A tricky 4m climb down to a ledge and further 2m drop gain the floor of a -chamber. Down boulder slope in chamber leads to a further short climb on -overhanging loose rubble to a small chamber with draughting rift. A squeeze -through the rift opens directly onto the head of an awkward 8m pitch. -Beyond, the floor soon disappears and way on is 5m of traverse in a widening -rift to where stones fall free for 5 seconds, this was the 1987 terminus. - -

    A 6m drop reaches a point overlooking a 5m wide circular shaft. Bolts for -a Y-hang lead onto the 56m free-hanging Heart of Gold pitch, named -for its cross section. Another 10m drop on the other side of a boulder lands -on a large ledge covered in loose boulders, The Italian Bistro. -Awkward rigging on the right wall and two lower bolts allow Deep -Thought to be rigged just clear of the tottering boulders that give the -18m pitch its name. - -

    At the base is The Restaurant at the End of the Cave, a large -chamber sporting five waterfalls. From the foot of the pitch, the floor is -steeply inclined up to an arch, beyond which the chamber continues to rise -to a total length of about 50m. A debris slope up to a tube at the highest -points leads only to a choke. There is no other way on from the Restaurant -since the floor is choke by major collapse at a depth of 117m. - -

    -Marking: Orange painted number on north-facing wall above shaft - -

    Location: Follow Stögerweg (path 201) well past turn off for -Stellerweghöhle. This involves a steep descent, -then a long horizontal stretch, crossing the dry valley containing Kat. -87a. After quite a way, there is an orange paint flash -on the left, more easily seen when coming the other way. This is just a few -metres before you turn left and start hacking up the hillside. Further orange -paint marks the route, which goes up a dry valley and over the entrance -109. Eventually, a scrub-free area is reached, go right -and then scramble up rock towards a tree. Don´t rush beyond the tree or -you'll fall a long way. - -

    Andy Connolly on -entrance, 1980
    - -

    Entrance is huge. A sizeable dry valley develops into a canyon -which is full of snow. The canyon ends downstream in a solid wall, where the -rigging point for the entrance pitch starts by the aforementioned tree. A -short drop leads to a ledge where a stretch to the left (facing the rock) -reaches a rebelay in a fine position on the impending wall. From here, drop -21m onto a large snow slope, then 10m further to the flat snow floor of a -large chamber lit from above by the shaft. - -

    - - -

    The way on is up a climb of 3m to a horizontal passage. There is an area -of hading rifts, not fully explored. The first hole descends a ramp over -treacherous ice and rubble for 30m to the head of a pitch, Ibbeth Perilous -Pot. A second parallel ramp connects to the same point. Both these ramps -suffer from loose rock and are best tackled with a handline. The main pitch -drops for 20m in a series of steps, best rigged. A final 13m drop then lands -on a rock/ice blockage Marathon Ledge, which at one time contained the -original explorer's helmet and lights, dropped from the head of the pitch. A -hammered route past the blockage leads to two short drops, then a 6m pitch -into the Opera House (see below). - -

    A descent of the second major hole from the entrance is the normal route -and leads to a ramp down, traverse across and the head of Point Five -Gully. The gully is decorated with ice formations early in the season, -as are all the useful hand- and footholds on the following ramp, so a rope -is recommended to descend Fox's Glacier. At the foot, about 60m -below the entrance chamber, is a low bouldery chamber, and a low arch leads -to a larger chamber, Barnsley Methodist Chapel, which is 20m high -and 30m long. - -

    The Chapel is floored with large boulders at one end, but an obvious low -sandy passage to the left leads to the head of a 14m dry rift pitch with a -bouldery takeoff. The pitch is free-hanging after the first two metres, to a -gravel-floored chamber opening off the rift. Water entering high on the -right takes a floor trench 10m deep which may be traversed above to gain the -Balcony of the Opera House, an impressive 20m diameter, -roughly circular chamber. A 12.5m pitch (awkward takeoff as rigged in 1980) -gains the bouldery, sloping floor. A scramble down boulders and a further 7m -pitch over a very large boulder leads into a rift, where an awkward 10m -pitch with natural belays and joke bolts leads to a flat mud floor at a -larger section at the head of a pitch. At this point the draught changes -direction, the cave becomes clean, and a stream is met falling from an -inaccessible (and out of sight) passage, apparently at the same level as the -pitch head. - -

    Down the pitch, a rebelay (which is a very long stretch to rig unless -you're very tall) avoids the worst of the water on Purple Pit. Quite -possibly this could be rigged as a deviation (we didn't do these in 1980). -There is a long section to a large ledge, from where the pitch leaves the -fault it has been following and heads down a series of short steps with -rebelays a few metres apart. At the bottom of this section, 60m below the -start, a further fault is met at right angles, with twin holes in the floor. -The first one is wet and nasty, while the second is tolerable. Both unite and -go off to the left in a diminutive streamway. To the right above the holes is -the entry point from Bananehöhle(152), explored in -1985. - -

    -(B/W photo (58k jpeg)) -Simon Kellet at the top of the short dry pitch below Purple Pit -
    - -

    The diminutive streamway ends shortly in a tight sump, but before this, a -climb up leads unobviously to a traverse and then a crawl trending back over -the entry point, Müsli Crawl. A number of acute bends are -disorientating, then a short drop leads to a final rift and a pitch head. -This is a thrutch to start, then drops 10m to where the water reenters. A -series of drops, Sprucy Wind, follows, and some of the bolts (1980 -vintage, greased in 1982) are easily missed, which makes the pitches wetter. -There is a branch shaft at one point which is unexplored, but appears to -reunite somewhat lower down. The pitches of 8, 26, 12, 10, 10, 20, 5 and 9m -drop to a final rift chamber where an inlet from up on the left doubles the -size of the stream on a rocky floor. This inlet responds to floods about an -hour faster than the main water. The combined waters fall down a 6m drop and -sink in a gravel-choked pool. - -

    Climbing up opposite the inlet, a dry rift is a little tight but pops out -into a series of dry passages, apparently quite unrelated to the rift -pitches. This area, The Crematorium, is a good place to wait when the -pitches flood. There is a large horizontal passage ending in a chamber with -various bedding crawl extensions. Avens in the roof are hard to reach (one -bolt used for aid) and don't seem to go anywhere. A narrow rift in the floor -contains the stream, and a climb down can be made at one point where it is -just wide enough. Thrutching forward in a traverse cum crawl a short way -above the water, a couple more diminutive drops reach a place where to -continue would be just plain stupid, since it is small and wet. The cave was -rigged in 1982 just to go and push the end. It didn't go. - -

    There is potential for further extension by traversing over down-ramps in -the entrance area, and by gaining access to the source of the water (and -route of the draught) at the top of Purple Pit. Apparently the Point Five -Gully and Fox's Glacier Ramp was traversed over in 1987, and another ramp -descended, but this seems to have rejoined the main route somewhere near -Barnsley Methodist Chapel. This route was not surveyed. - -

    Location: Follow Stögerweg beyond Windloch to a steep descent. Just below -this, by a large tree on the right of the path (permanent survey station P3), -descend steeply to the right on a barely discernible trod. - -

    This involves at least one freeclimb which is awkward with lots of kit. -Make lots of noise if you are first, especially on the first trip, since -snakes seem to like it here.

    This is the main entrance through which the majority of the Stellerweghöhle system was explored. See the -separate full guidebook description for -details, just an overview is given here. - -

    The entrance leads to a non-obvious way on to the head of the short -Bell Pitch, from where very awkward going leads out to a bigger -passage to reach The Ramp a series of off-vertical pitches. -The damper but technically easier Inlet Pitches drop to a Big -Chamber, from where Pete's Purgatory starts, and leads in 800m -of tortuous going to The Confluence and the larger streamway -leading to the deepest point. - -

    Better is the Purgatory Bypass which starts as dry fossil tubes, -with a choice of routes to reach Junction Chamber where the Big -Rift of Stellerweghöhle enters. Opposite, the -huge fossil tube of Dartford Tunnel makes for easy progress to the -Confluence, about halfway down the system. The continuing main streamway is -interrupted by a bypassable sump and numerous pitches before a low airspace -duck at the end of an unpromising canal leads to the spectacular Orgasm -Chasm. Careful rigging avoids the water in this 140m shaft, ending -in muddy passage and another short drop to a deep and terminal sump. - -

    Shaft entrance is 9m by 6m, with first pitch 15m to boulders. -A 6m pitch is immediately followed by a 10m drop to a sloping boulder -floor. From the end of this, a 5.5m drop reaches a longer boulder -slope, which leads into a canyon at 90°. Down this is a longer -pitch split into 10 and 10.5m sections by a small ledge, landing on -a very large boulder. Over the boulder are two ways on. - -

    Through a squeeze is a shaft 10m deep to floor with continuing -hole and a further shaft to one side, neither of which were descended, -despite a draught coming out through the squeeze. - -

    The way followed is a 5m pitch from the big boulder, to a boulder false -floor. At the end of this, the roof rises into a high aven and an 11m -pitch drops to a flat boulder floor next to another huge block. A hole -down gives a 7m drop next to stacked rocks and a way on across boulders -leads to a final 8m pitch. - -

    Forward over boulders passes under another high aven from which water -falls. A short climb down leads to where this water disappears into a -scrofulous slot, at a depth of 95m. - -

    The cave is in a key position, almost directly above the Breeze -Block area of Chile, in Kaninchenhöhle. -However, these passages lie between 250 and 300m below the 140 entrance, -so this is probably not a potential easy way in. - -

    NB. this entrance to the main system really should have a name. - -

    Altitude: 1615.1m - -

    Location: Hack up the hillside behind Windloch (Kat.32). -The entrance was prominently numbered '132' in red but this -was finally changed in 1996 after the connection to -Schwabenschacht (1623-78)
    -E 35770.4 N (52)81218.2 - -

    Yet another entrance to Stellerweghöhle, with -two points of connection, and also the first point of connection with -Schwabenschacht, a similar cave explored by Arbeitsgemeinschaft Höhle -und Karst Grabenstetten e.V.. 142 contains a very large chamber, -imaginatively named The Big Chamber reached by a 34m pitch from a -point adjacent to the connection. A full -description of 142 (but not 78) is one of the components of the -Stellerweghöhle guidebook, just an overview is given here. - -

    Note: With apparent perversity, the Austrians have numbered this as 115e -in their Kataster. This is likely to give rise to immense confusion in the -long term as more caves are connected, and numbers on entrances cannot -readily be altered (owing to the obscurity of their location and -inaccessibility from within the system). - -

    After an initial small tube, the cave opens into passages very similar to -those in Schwabenschacht and the upper levels of Stellerweghöhle. -Descent of some of the steep ramps to the right of the main way on may -provide further connections into the main cave (and one may have already done -so). However, staying high leads through tubes to an inobvious junction.

    The square shaped entrance lies just below (22m vertically at 34m on -158°) the nipple at the end of the ridge running SSW from Vorderer -Schwarzmooskogel. The first pitch starts after a short climb down boulders. -From here light may be seen entering from another entrance 143b. The pitch -of 20m lands on a small ledge and a short freeclimb leads to a traverse over -wedged blocks. The next pitch of 10m is rigged over the edge of the last of -these and brings one to a balcony at the start of a 23m shaft. Another -clean, almost circular shaft (19m) follows, to a climb of 6m down wedged -boulders. The passage now narrows to a small vadose canyon with a stream in -it, but soon turns vertical at an 8m pitch, followed quickly by one of 18m. -At the foot of this final shaft, the stream flows down a rift, approximately -10m deep, but too narrow to follow. Much hammering here achieved little -progress, but could be heard clearly in passages leading from above the Big -Pitch in Stellerweghöhle. - -

    NB. This name is the 1983 provisional name, which was intended to be -scrapped. Weiße Warze Höhle II might be better, but this -cave really should have a proper name - after all, it was 284m deep before -the connection to the main system!

    Altitude: 1711.8m. - -

    Location: The Nipple, (aka "Weiße Warze") E 36101.3 N (52)81514.9 - -

    This is the highest entrance to Stellerweghöhle found by CUCC, and a -full description is included in the Stellerweghöhle -guidebook description, just an overview is given -here. - -

    A predominantly vertical entrance series leads to a level of extensive -fossil phreatic development, not fully explored. The main passage, -The Yellow Brick Road, leads to the lip of a 25m pitch into a large -muddy chamber. From the bottom, a steeply dipping tube is followed down -until a canyon is reached from a boulder chamber. Most ways close down -quickly from here. - -

    Across the pitch from Yellow Brick Road is a large continuing passage, -gained by an obscure and somewhat exposed route in boulders. It soon leads -to a bolted climb, but a ramp down below drops to another large passage. -Right here, the draught is followed through winding passage until it emerges -20m up in a chamber. Backtracking leads to a squeeze and muddy crawls to the -bottom, from where a canyon develops, finally dropping into -Stellerweghöhle below the Big Pitch via a 10m -chimney. - -

    There are a significant number of unpushed leads in the cave, but all are -expected to connect back to already known passage. -One may provide a connection to the northernmost reaches of -Schwabenschacht (1623/78). - -

    Until the 1984 logbook surfaced in 1993, we thought this number was not -allocated, but, interestingly, the Austrians had this as 2/T +, 1685m, NE of -Schwarzmoossattel, and think it was explored in 1984 by CUCC to 100m long -and 15m deep.

    Documentation comprises a grade 1 sketch with no description in 1984 -logbook. Horizontal entrance leads under a shaft to surface and a 5m climb -down to a choke. Over the hole and left leads in a sandy tube to a traverse -reaching a 4m diameter tube. To the right this is choked, with small blocked -tubes leading off. Ahead and left a 10m pitch leads to a solid choke.

    Entrance shaft of 50m until gap between snow and rock became too perilous -in 1987 - bottom still out of sight. About 25m below the karren, a rift -passage leads off from side of shaft into parallel shaft with aven. This -shaft is of unknown depth but has recent looking bolts of unknown origin. It -is just conceivable that these bolts are in 107, but far more likely that -the cave had been looked at by GSCB who were in the area on a reconnaissance -in 1986 (?) and more seriously in 1987. - -

    The second cave has a walk-in entrance, splitting just inside. The left -passage comes out below a shaft from the surface, and apparently continues -unexplored. The main passage reaches a 10m pitch, also below a surface -shaft, which drops into a chamber. To the left is a short passage to an -undescended pitch of about 10m, while to the right are three ways on.

    Location: 400m NNE of The Nipple (Weißen -Warze) at the base of a wall to the left after passing a sandy -depression (walking from the Nipple). - -

    A body-width passage formed by a wall on the left and a large detached -slab on the right descends for about 5m at 45°, with occasional glimpses -of daylight above. A cross passage is then encountered. To the right is -blocked after a few metres, but left descends to meet the base of the wall. -To the right here, a 20-22cm squeeze is passed by lying on one side. After -2m of further tight progress, the rift opens onto a drop. A steep tube -descends for about 12m to a small chamber and with care can be descended -free. - -

    From the chamber, the passage curves to the left and opens onto the head -of a 7m pitch, which drops onto a large ledge. A rebelay just over the lip of -the ledge at the left hand side gives a further 18m free-hanging pitch to a -landing on boulders several metres across, which appear to be jammed across -the shaft. - -

    A narrow rift around a corner stops at a drip and a small pool. The way on -is through a gap to a hole with a jammed block. Climbing down to the block -leads to the head of an 18m pitch which rapidly opens into a huge split-level -chamber. The pitch lands on Big Bertha, a boulder some 4m in diameter. - -

    To the north, a narrow rift has been followed for about 10m to a tight -vertical drop of at least 5m down the rift, but this has not been pushed. -East from Big Bertha leads to a 5m drop to the lower half of the chamber, -which is floored with loose rock. An archway to the left leads to a 7m pitch -to a small stream. This disappears down an impassable slot, but is met lower -in the cave. - -

    From the archway, a climb up behind a boulder propped against the side of -the chamber leads to a col. One side rapidly curves up to the roof. The other -ascends over very loose boulders for at least 25m (15m vertical) until the -roof is met. This area has not been exhaustively pushed, but seems unlikely -to lead anywhere. - -

    Descending the other side of the col gives a series of ledges via 5m, 7m -and 8m pitches, in a canyon some 5m wide and at least 15m high. The stream -enters at the bottom of the 7m pitch. Below, the rift continues down a -moderate slope and round a corner, with a final short 4m pitch to a soil and -rock floored chamber. - -

    A strong draught is felt around the edges of the chamber, rising from the -choked floor. It is possible to descend in loose boulders in a number of -places but all ways meet the roof and choke - pushing in this area is -dangerous and unpromising. - -

    Near the bottom of the previous pitch, a 5m deep circular pit in the floor -can be descended. This takes a large drip from the stream above. At the -bottom, a tight (22-26cm) rift leads on for 3m to a further 3m pitch to a -small chamber. An impassable passage continues, while a small window gives a -view of a widening beyond. - -

    Relocated in 1996. From -main summit, drop down east to a bare limestone shelf. Follow this ~NE for -some way (c 200m) until a way down east again reaches a small group of -holes/shafts/rifts (CUCC 1997-07, 209, 136c, 136b). -Cross this area south, initially keeping close below a small cliff to -your right. After passing 136b, 136a is a little off to the left (east) of -the cliff at the south end of the karren shelf. (See area map in NotKH survey -book p88-89). The entrance is in a depression and is -marked by, and under, a large (3m cubicish) boulder with a faint (in -1996) '136' painted on the S side, and a Tag. - -

    From Top Camp, proceed via the 161 approach up to the point -(immediately past 1623/147) where a short climb down through the bunde -drops onto a large, wide, grassy area perhaps 200m before reaching Vd1 -and 30m higher. Cross the grassy patch, contouring around the hill and -then take the 3rd steep grassy bank up to the right, through some bunde -(this is not the most obvious slope). Climb up to the limestone shelf -above and then continue contouring around the hill at roughly the same -level for a further 300m to the entrance. - -

    1983 description is : shaft -194m. The bottom was reached in 1984, at -depths variously estimated -240m, -260m and -285m, when the rift became too -narrow. 1983 survey (which was never drawn up) only goes to -194m. - -

    1997 -rigging

    The rope (60m used in 1997, though this is not generous) for the first -pitch is belayed to the 3m boulder. A short drop from the surface (c.3m) -leads to the top of a steeply inclined boulder slope which is also very -loose. The head of the main entrance pitch hang used to be immediately at the -foot of this slope, however it has now been rigged from the right hand wall, -out of the immediate line-of-fire from the boulder slope. A traverse line of -around 10m at 30° is rigged on the right hand wall to reach the pitch -head. The main hang is around 35m almost free-hanging, but for a minor -deviation about 8m below the pitch head. - -

    -Photo - 38k -
    - -

    From the foot of the entrance pitch, a fairly narrow slot with a short -climb down (c 1m) connects to a large boulder-strewn chamber. This chamber is -entered from the top left corner (standing looking down the slope) and the -main way on is around 10m down the slope, under a very large boulder towards -the right hand wall. At the foot of the chamber are two large holes of around -5m depth, one in each corner. One of these holes has a spit above it, -suggesting it was descended in 1983/4, however no descent was made of either -hole in 1997. It is speculated that these may connect to the second pitch at -a lower point than that used as the pitch head in 1997. - -

    Second Pitch

    - -

    Returning to the main route down, the head of the second pitch is a belay -point on the right hand wall of the chamber immediately above a very large -perched boulder at "floor" level. A 130m rope was initially used here, though -some spare was later cut off. Beware of apparently sound footholds here as -they have a habit of falling off down the next 70m or so of the pitch series! -A rebelay is required just below the take-off point on the boulder to avoid -rubbing the edge of the block on the way up. This rebelay is particularly -awkward on the way up since the rope tends to pull into the crack between -wall and boulder. The shaft continues down more or less vertically for a -further 3 rebelays (50m) until the first substantial ledge is reached. (A -deviation is required below the 3rd rebelay from the pitch head to avoid an -otherwise serious rub just below the rebelay bolt). - -

    Photo - 55k -Photo - 60k -
    - -

    From this ledge, a further pitch descends, rigged from two bolts on the -left hand wall with an immediate deviation off the right hand wall. -Traversing ahead over the pitch, it appears that there is a parallel shaft -visible through an eyehole in the left hand wall. It is believed that this is -the shaft described as being accessed by a "desperate step across" which was -descended in 1984 and found to reconnect to the wet route lower down. - -

    Descending from the ledge, a further substantial ledge is reached after -c8m. On the way up it is advisable to cower under the overhanging wall of -this ledge to avoid exposing yourself to rocks dislodged by people on the -pitch above - the pitch head is especially loose. - -

    Third Pitch

    - -

    From the ledge an awkward take-off to an almost immediate rebelay leads to -a connection with a wet shaft - the main source of water below this point. -The hang is fortunately almost dry, aided by a very wide rebelay about 12m -below the ledge. A further 15m hang reaches another large ledge where water -continues through a large slot in the floor at the foot of the pitch. It is -at this point that the two routes diverge into Wet -Dreams (the way explored in 1983/4) and the Eyehole Route. - -

    Eyehole Route -(1997)

    - -

    The Eyehole Route is to-date the main route in 136, leading eventually to -the 1997 connection with the Forbidden Land in 161, -and the 2½km Chile series, found in 1999. - -

    The eyehole is reached by means of a traverse over the slot in the floor -(through which the water disappears) and is the obvious large hole on the -right. A short horizontal rift, with a steeply-inclined hole in the floor, -connects to the head of the fourth pitch series. This pitch series is about -30m of dry shaft, broken by three ledges and landing on a much larger ledge -with a couple of large boulders jammed in the exit rift. A 54m rope was -sufficient in 1997. From the foot of the fourth pitch, the head of the fifth -is only a few metres away over the jammed boulders. - -

    The head of the fifth pitch does an extremely good -job of hiding the enormous cavern into which it breaks some 10m below. Do not -be mistaken into believing that the floor, as it appears, is only 5m below -your feet, nor that your light will be even remotely adequate for ensuring -maximum exposure on the multiple hanging rebelays below. The pitch -starts with a large Y-hang across the rift at the pitch head. - -

    -Photo - 21k -
    - -

    An airy traverse around the corner to the left -(rigged rope) leads eventually to the -Footlights Traverse. (The eyehole immediately -opposite the pitch head connects with the climb around to the left). - -

    Below the Y-hang is a large, mud-covered outcrop of rock, over which you -must traverse before proceeding further to a very wide deviation, hated by -those with short legs, just below the muddy "floor". A further 5m descent -leads to a smallish ledge with another rock outcrop to cross to a hanging -rebelay on the left-hand wall. This point is around 60m above the floor of -the chamber and is where the Gods' Traverse begins. -A 35m rope was sufficient to reach this point in 1997. - -

    Continuing straight down from the rebelay, first a -parallel shaft is reached and the wall of the chamber becomes convex, -requiring another hanging rebelay 21m below the last. A further 24m hang -drops to a boulder floor at the top of a huge chamber - The Theatre. -The landing point for the main route into the Theatre is at the top of the -steeply inclined floor. - -

    -Photo - 38k
    - -

    Standing at this point, looking down the slope of -the floor, an opening at the bottom of the chamber of the left-hand wall -leads to the Orchestral Pit. From the foot of the chamber up a short -(c 8m) climb over mud and boulders and then up another (c 8m) climb on steep -rock, leads to a small opening. (The rope has been left -permanently rigged on this climb). On the -right hand wall at the foot of the chamber is a boulder choke through which -it is possible to climb down around 10m. No recommendable leads were found -here. Immediately behind the landing point and around 30m higher up the wall -is the connection to the Forbidden Land (161) which -must be reached via the God's Traverse. - -

    Proceeding up the 16m climb from the floor of -the Theatre, a narrow opening leads to a precarious climb down the other -side (c.5m) over the top of a large wedged boulder in a rift chamber, Exit Stage Left. There is an aven in the roof of this chamber, which can be -descended as a pitch (the 30m continuation of Plughole Pitch) from the end of -the Footlights Traverse. A second aven is reached by -a short (c 3m) climb up opposite the entry climb. A small window (too small -for human access) in the left hand wall of the chamber connects to the -undescended pitch accessible from the rock bridge 18m -down Plughole pitch, 26m above. Rocks can also be thrown in through a small -gap in the boulder floor. This pitch continues below this level. - -

    In the Orchestral Pit, a number of wet shafts connect from the ceiling in -addition to a number of dry avens. The dry avens nearest to the Forbidden -Land have been connected to an eyehole on the God's Traverse around 15m -above the connection to Elin Algor. The -floor of the Orchestral Pit has a number of pools and also a considerable -amount of brown powdery mud, similar to that found in the horizontal areas of -Kaninchenhöhle such as Mississippi Mud -Pie, Triassic Park etc. , of which -the majority of 136 is devoid. No leads were found in the Orchestral Pit. - -

    The Gods' Traverse -(1997)

    - -

    The earlier (and lower) of two impressive traverse routes off the fifth -pitch, The Gods' Traverse heads NE towards Kaninchenhöhle, to which -it eventually connects. - -

    Photo - 48k jpeg -

    From the hanging rebelay 10m below the head of the 5th pitch (on Eyehole -Route), a short (4m) descent with a swing leads to a small muddy sloping -ledge, with precipitous drop. A bolt in the middle of the traverse "protects" -a caver who teeters around the ledge and up a short (c.2m) climb over a -corner bulge onto the main face of the traverse. This roughly horizontal -section is about 12m in length across a slab of limestone inclined at 70 - 80 -°. Should your lighting equipment allow, you will be able to admire the -enormous vertical rock-face which forms the opposite wall of the Theatre and -the precipitous drop to the floor 40+ metres below. Hand holds (barring the -rope) are non-existent on the second half of the traverse and most foot -ledges were of the disposable type (single use only), now long gone. At the -far end of the traverse a hanging rebelay just over the edge of the wall -leads, with a wide swing, to a large eyehole on the opposite wall. A short -(15m) pitch against the wall on the outside of the hole leads to a large -muddy sloping ledge at the back of which is a hole into narrow traversy -passage. This is the final impressive overlook reached in -Elin Algor from the Forbidden Land in -Kaninchenhöhle in 1996. The whole of the pitch - traverse - pitch -to this point was left rigged. - -

    Back through the eyehole, a couple of pitches lead eventually to the -Orchestral Pit. - -

    Fifth pitch and Footlights Traverses -(1997)

    - -

    The later traverse route off the fifth pitch (starting at the pitch -head, some 10m higher than the Gods'). This heads generally SW, and is -in two sections, split by a 16m pitch. The lower section is strictly -the Footlights traverse, but the name has been applied to the whole -route, causing some confusion. - -

    A short, unobvious (roped) -traverse, Service Duct, starts from the left hand side of the Y hang -at the head of the fifth pitch. It goes left round the corner into a -window, then climbs up 3m above a deep hole to a lip into a chamber with -a large hole in the steeply sloping floor that drops down near the start -of Traverse of the Gods. Traversing to the right -of this chamber, past an eyehole with a view back to the Y hang, a pitch (Ventilation Shaft p.16, 1 bolt rebelay, -5m) descends to the -Box, a platform with a fine view to the left across the Theatre to -the Gods' Traverse. Looking out and to the right from the Box is the -start of Footlights Traverse. - -

    This airy, diagonal, section around and down the -south-western corner of the Theatre, 30m off the floor was left rigged after the 1997 expedition, but -in 1999 was deemed easy enough to rig afresh on each expedition, so the rope -was taken off. Two bolt rebelays reach a Y hang, and descending from this a -window can be reached by an entertaining pendulum to reach a rift in the -wall. This window enters a choss-filled passage whose boulder floor is -apparently suspended above a void (traverse line recommended). An old -phreatic level was hypothesised to exist at a similar height to the -connection with Elin Algor, and this seems to correspond roughly to that -level, although at this point the morphology is a tall rift, passable at -various levels, with many windows, climbs and pitches, difficult to explore -exhaustively. - -

    The passage leads, after a 3m climb up and a 2m -climb down, to a narrow slot opening out into the spacious Plughole -pitch below, which drops 18m to a rock bridge. - -

    At the rock bridge the single shaft splits into three. An inlet enters -from an aven and goes down an undescended clean-washed shaft [99-xx A]. This -descends about 8m to a ledge where a slot drops at least 30m, past the choked -floor at the bottom of the Footlights pitch (determined by rocks thrown in -from two points below). This apparently does not connect (at least directly) -with the Orchestral Pit - rocks were not audible from there. The second of -the shafts is more like a 3m blind pit, of little interest. - -

    The third, and biggest, of the dry shafts is a further drop of 30 m (bolt, -tape deviation at -10m) and lands on the floor of -Exit Stage Left (originally reached by the 16m climb up -from the Theatre). - -

    Across the rock bridge, over a few boulders and through a smallish -slot, is a short 5m pitch. This is the way on to -Chile, 1999's major find. - -

    Wet Dreams (1983/4)

    - -

    Wet Dreams is the original route, explored first in 1983/4, but named in 1997 in memory of the anticipated connection with 161 by this route. In fact -no such connection has yet been found, but the shaft series has not yet been -bottomed and so it's still a possibility. - -

    Continuing from the foot of the third pitch and -crossing the traverse to the point where the Eyehole Route diverges, a dry -hang is possible to the bottom of the rift down which the water disappears. -At the foot of this 15m pitch is a narrow rift, leading quickly to a further -12m pitch followed by another narrow rift to another pitch. - -

    Around the head of this pitch, Phreatic -Fantasy - so called because of the anticipated large sloping ramps -expected from a previous cave description - are a number of small, clean and -fairly uninteresting roof tubes, probably phreatic in origin. The shaft at -this point becomes roughly vertical and descends in a number of sections a -further surveyed 35m, becoming increasingly wet towards the bottom. From the -surveyed limit a further pitch of around 30m (estimated) can be seen -descending immediately below. - -

    1983 rigging

    - -

    The split between Eyehole and Wet Dreams is about three quarters of the -way down what the 1983 description had as a broken shaft of c 100m. This was -in sections of 14m vertical, 24m sloping, 13m vertical to a ledge. Here a -desperate step across (worse on exit) attained a parallel shaft which -apparently connected back lower down. The main way dropped 9m sloping, 29m -vertical, to a 9m slope and a final 3m vertical to what is assumed to have -been the Phreatic Fantasy level - though the pitch lengths (mainly deduced -from survey data) don't correspond well with the 1997 experience and this may -be below the next pitch. 1983 figures put the next pitch as 17m sloping, then -15m vertical to a bolt at -194m, which may be a similar point to that reached -on this route in 1997, or not quite as deep. - -

    1984 series

    - -

    A further drop is 5m to "a very bad bolt" and either 15m total, or a -further 15m from the bolt, to a spray lashed ledge with only one small alcove -in which to cower and brew up. A rift in the floor leads 6m to a rebelay and -a final 20-25m pitch into a chamber with two ways off. One was very tight to -an aven and small drop which stones indicate ends blind in mud floor after -c10m. The main way was a squeeze past a very large boulder, down a 10m pitch -to a stream which flows into the classic too-narrow draughting rift. Logbook -describes this as -260m, which fits with the non-existence of a 30m -"virtual" pitch which is believed to be the result of an ambiguity elsewhere -in the 1984 log book. - -

    Altitude: 1787m (at 161a), Depth 534m, Length 24485m after 1999 expedition - -Location:

    - -

    On the limestone ridge between the Hinterer and -Vorderer Schwarzmooskogels, about 200 metres up -towards the Hinterer from the col, and -about 20m down the east side of the ridge itself. The main -161a entrance shaft overlooks a gully -dropping steeply SE towards Augstwies See. The -161b and 161c -(French) entrances are close together about 75m to the SE, down the gully. -Considerably further down the gully, a traverse is possible (somewhat -engineered) to reach an area of recently fallen rock, where the "Scarface" -161d entrance is located. Continuing the -traverse, but regaining about 20m of height to the NE, the "exits" of 161f -and then 161e can be reached. - -

    Rather than adopting the usual approach of describing every side passage -in the main description, which makes the 'normal' descent route hard to -follow, this description describes each main route down the cave first, -mentioning side passages only where necessary to make the correct main route -clear. Various side passages and connecting routes are described -subsequently, area by area. The directions left and right are always relative -to travel in the direction of the description, compass directions are given -where there is any ambiguity. Most passages are described going 'into the -cave', on the assumption that this is how they will be first met. Some -passages are described in both directions, either because it is difficult to -follow them without getting into side leads, or because they form important -links between different parts of the system, and may be traversed either way -on various round trips. - -

    The clickable index has developed into a -glossary, which it is hoped will make it easier to -find bits of the cave by name - be warned, this became so big that -it was decided to split it up and it is now a framed page. - -

    There are also virtual tours, containing thumbnails -of all the pictures of the caves. Although these pages are kept small, all -the photos mean that they can require a lot of memory to load. The -original comprehensive tour has been split into two, for the -Right Hand Route, and for passages most conveniently -reached from the Scarface entrance. Two new tours -have been created for the Lost World and Wheelchair -Access, and for the new way into the Forbidden Land via -Steinschlagschacht.Each thumbnail on these tours -links to a full-size version of the picture, and each full-size picture has -links into the appropriate bit of the description. - -

    Exploration

    - -

    Throughout the guide, the date of exploration is noted for each area. -There is a history page which can be used as a -clickable index into the logbook write ups of all the 161 trips, so -it should be easy to follow the exploration of any part of the cave. -Warning, this was also getting too big and is now framed. - -

    Overview

    - -

    The upper part of the system can be best thought of as a number of -separate areas, each with its own vertical development. The more recently -found extensive horizontal development, being easier to traverse, is -generally better connected. Although there are various links between the -vertical routes, a given destination will tend to have one 'obvious' -approach. These areas are France, the -Left Hand Routes, the Right Hand -Routes, the southernmost part of the system reached via -Steinschlagschacht, -routes from Scarface entrance. So rapidly has -exploration proceeded from Triassic Park that now more than half the total -length is most conveniently reached via 161d. - -

    The key to all the deepest and most remote parts of the system is -the huge collapse chamber of Knossos. This was reached from the 161a -entrance via the Right Hand Route, and now via the 161d -"Scarface" entrance through -Triassic Park. This provides a much easier -route in, making trips to the further reaches less strenuous. From Knossos, -horizontal trunk passage leads north, giving access first to a series of -deep vertical systems, and further on to complex -areas of rifts and old passages. A significant horizontal route leading -northwest, Siberia, has only been pushed as -a result of the new entrance, but has yielded a new deep point to the cave. -There appear to be deep vertical leads in the far north, too, though they -have mostly been avoided by a series of "mental" tyroleans and bolt -traverses. - -

    Tourist trips

    - -

    It is still probably some way off the time when one might choose a -tourist trip on the basis of its "classic" quality. Mostly, choices -available depend on what is rigged this year for exploratory purposes. -This will usually only include one main route into an area, so trips -like a Left Hand Route / Garden Party or Drunk & Stupid exchange -will not be easy. Similarly, the original classic Right Hand Route / -Dreamtime exchange was only really possible during the exploration of -the latter, before the Squeeze was bypassed and this modified RHR -became the trade route. - -

    However, now that Knossos is accessible -from the Scarface entrance, this has opened up the possibilities for a whole -raft of pull-through trips with a minimum of pre-rigging. The one fly in the -ointment is the relative difficulty of surface travel between the 161d and -upper entrances. The route used in 1996 seems to be good enough to have -become a trade route, and after one benightment through loss of the route in -1997, it has been very well marked with cairns. - -

    Already possible is the 161c to 161d through trip via France. In the -future, pull-throughs of LHR, Garden Party or Drunk and Stupid should all be -possible via Ambidextrous. Right Hand Route or Dreamtime give access to -Knossos. Care must be taken, however, not to try rapelling down any of the -plethora of routes which don't connect into the Knossos area. - -

    As in the more famous Dent du Crolles system, route-finding -errors on bridge-burning trips could entail a long wait for someone to figure -out where you went ! - -

    Structure

    - -

    Line plots of the cave give some idea of it's -shape, extent and structure. - -

    The main entrance at 1787m drops to a major sub-horizontal level at -1720-1750m, containing the large passages of Big -Sainsbury's and its continuation into the upper part of Dreamtime, and the smaller passages of the Rabbit Warren and the French entrances 161b and 161c. From -this level a number of vertical routes drop to another significant -sub-horizontal level dipping from around 1700m in the SW of the system -(upper part of France) to around 1600m where this level is lost in the roof -of Knossos. [This is probably debatable, as -Boulder Alley from Poxy Pitch downwards is probably in a fault rift]. - -

    Multiple, predominantly vertical, routes drop to the cave's most important -sub-horizontal passages around 1540m in the area below the entrance dipping -to c1510m in Tower Blocks and the start of -YAPATE. This is a major fossil passage rising -up the dip to the NNE, and continuing as Chicken -Flied Nice to c1540m where complexity increases. The major horizontal -development in France is entered at c1550m, with the lowest passages down to -1480m. The major trunk route through Triassic Park is between 1560 and 1620m, -and this level is also lost in what is presumed to be the roof of Knossos. - -

    Whilst none of the routes below the entrance area get below about 1480m, -there are a series of interconnecting shafts dropping below YAPATE and -Chicken Flied Nice ending at or just above 1290m in sumps or tightness. The -original deepest point, at the bottom of Flapjack, is at 1289m, 498m below -the main entrance. Passages to the northwest led through a bitterly cold, -draughty passage known as Siberia, which was -left well alone until access via 161d made it easier. It was pushed in 1997 -and 1998 down two very large pitches to a new deep point 534m below the 136 -entrance at 1258m altitude. - -

    There is just one section of horizontal -level at c1400m, which is not very extensive to date, and similarly a -tantalising glimpse of what appears to have been very large trunk passage -below 1300m in Siberia, but this is comprehensively choked in both -directions. - -

    This overview is currently mostly updated to reflect exploration to 1995, -though the line plots are up to 1996. - -

    Altitude: 1746.1m, Depth 22 m (survey) or 33 m (text), Length -156-159m.
    - -Location: Vorderer Schwarzmooskogel, about halfway between -161 and -Eishöhle. Following the French -traverse route along the shelf marked with orange paint from 161c will take -you to just below 162 and 163.
    -E 36497.3, N (52)82308.0 - -

    The 1988 log book refers to this -cave as "Adam's Hole (2)". - -

    About 250m from survey point vd1. From vd1, head directly down the gully -(bearing about 100°, for about 130m, then turn right, angle right and -traverse below the bunde field on the right along the most obvious shelf -(you should find the french path here) for another 130m or so. The cave -entrance is a 1.5m × 2m hole in the wall to the right of the traverse shelf -with a very cold draught coming out of it. It is one shelf above the French -path and if you are at the wrong level you will miss it. - -

    The cave takes a good couple of hours to explore thoroughly. Through the -entrance is a large chamber with a 4m × 8m crater in it. A 3m climb down to -the bottom gives access to a 3m climb back up to the right, leading into the -cave and a crawl at the lowest point of the boulders leading into a choked -bit of cave with small solutional stuff in the roof. It is also possible to -traverse around the left edge of the crater to reach a triangular crawl -which goes for about 10m before it gets too tight. - -

    The entire floor of this cave consists of small rocks and boulders. There -is no solid rock anywhere horizontal, except halfway down the pitch. - -

    After climbing out of the hole there is another 5m deep choked hole -beyond. Traverses round to both the left and right are possible, although a -little care is required due to the low roof and loose floor. - -

    To the right, rubble coming out of the bottom of a choked shaft almost -blocks the passage but a crawl through to the left remains, with a strong -wind blasting through the confined space. Beyond this constriction the -draught is lost. The roof remains low on the other side, although it is -possible to stand up off to the left where there is a 4m climb up to what -looks like a way on but is actually blind. Moving around the boulder pile to -the right leads to a big passage. There are a few large boulders 10m to the -right with a 4m climb down between them leading to a tight choked rift. This -was also dug into from the top passage by the extremely zealous original -explorers! There is an alcove in front and a rubble slope up to the right. -Round the corner to the right is another shaft-bottom rubble pile and a hole -disappearing into the roof. At the top of the slope to the left is a 4m -climb up through and around big wedged boulders to reach an impressive -chamber 7m × 9m and 12m high. There is a possible climb up into an aven in -the corner which probably doesn't go and has a couple of moves at the top -which need protecting. - -

    Back at the fork near the entrance, turning left and thrutching over a -couple of rocks (another windy spot) leads to the head of a 17m pitch broken -by a ledge 8m down. There is a bolt for a ladder hang on this ledge. Going -off to the left allows a safe traverse past the pitch continuation to the -bottom of a 6m high rift with some ice in it, slowly narrowing as it goes -up. - -

    At the foot of the pitch is what looks like an ancient phreatic remnant. -It is about 40m long and 6m wide, and mostly full of rocks. To the left it is -blocked at the end by the rubble coming out of the bottom of a big shaft. It -is possible to work round the foot of this for about 3m to the left and 10m -to the right. - -

    Going the other way down the passage reveals a large snow column by the -left hand wall. It is possible to climb up between the column and its -containing shaft, presumably all the way to the surface, but no-one has -managed it yet. Beyond this column the roof gets lower, apart from a couple -of solutional avens and eventually a small shaft-bottom rock pile and a -couple of small inlet tubes mark the end of the cave. - -

    The 1988 log book refers to this -cave as "Adam's Hole (1)". - -

    This is a fairly small cave remnant, but it does have a draught at the end -suggesting more passage beyond. - -

    The entrance is low and wide (3.5m) and descends down a rocky slope for -20m to some impressive ice stals. There is a small tube in the roof on the -right through which daylight can be seen. The cave extends another 10m past -the ice stals in fossil passage until it chokes. A 3m climb up on the left -allows access to a tiny rift which can be climbed down for a few uninspiring -metres. - -

    5m back from the ice stals, towards the entrance, there is a stoop under a -massive boulder forming the left wall. Here is a 3m climb down into the -second part of the cave. Downslope from here is a chamber with a small -frozen stream running through it and a choked alcove containing another ice -stal beyond the stream. The chamber through which the stream 'flows' appears -to have been formed by the entire roof falling about 1.5m in one piece and -it is possible to climb beneath this huge rock near the way in. Over on the -right is a climb through an eyehole to a 3m climb down into a stream rift. -This has a howling draught coming out of it but it is too small to get down -- although the heavy application of a hammer might do the trick. - -

    Marking: Tag. - -

    Description

    - -

    The horizontal entrance slopes downhill for about 20m, passing beneath a skylight and a crawl to the left. The crawl -leads to a drop into a rift, where there are three ways on. To the right closes down; to the left, there are crawls at -two levels. The higher-level crawl chokes; the two crawls at the lower level unite and then reach a junction. To the -left chokes; to the right leads to a chamber. This chamber can also be reached by going straight on from the -aforementioned junction at the rift. - -

    From this chamber, there are two ways on. A small choss wall surrounds a vertical hole through which it is possible -to drop down (tricky on the return) into a small chamber. From here, an awkward squeeze leads into a continuing crawl, -which has not been pushed. To the left is a crawl over choss which enlarges. Straight ahead leads to an -earthen-floored draughting crawl which has been dug, and needs further work to get through. Shortly before the crawl -becomes flat-out, a tube leading up on the right becomes too tight. -After a short distance a tube on the right -leads to the head of a pitch (not pushed; probably 15-20m) and continues to a choke. The head of -this pitch draughts outwards significantly. - -

    Back in the entrance passage, at the bottom of the slope there is an unpushed crawl to the left and a -wriggle up over rubble into a chamber. From this chamber, -the obvious way on is a pitch of approximately 15m, but there is a possible crawl above this (doesn't look promising). At -the foot of the pitch, in large rift passage, a crawl on the left leads for about 15m before turning left and becoming too -tight. Straight ahead, a crawl reaches a junction with continuations upwards, to the left, straight ahead, and to the -right, none of which have been pushed. To the right is a further unpushed crawl. - -

    Back in the rift chamber, an exposed, but easy-looking ascending traverse has not been pushed. There is a short climb -down, after which a climb up is blind, and the continuing descent passes a narrow point before entering an ascending -traverse in a rift which leads to a 5m pitch into a small chamber. - -

    A noticable draught was blowing out of the entrance in 2002, accompanied by water vapour. - -

    A contortion through boulders leads to a large horizontal passage, which gradually ascends until eventually lowering -to a short flat-out crawl over choss.

    Access route: -Follow the cairned path which ascends the Vorder Schwarzmooskogel from the -NW. Shortly before the obvious open rift entrance of -1623/156 (which is 50m south of Laser Point 0/1) is -a small (2m diameter) open shaft. - -

    Marking: metal tag stamped "CUCC 201", fixed by M6 stud -epoxied into horizontal surface on NW side of main entrance (stud placed -1998, proper kataster number tag replaced provisional one in 1999). - -

    Description:2m diameter shaft drops 25m to a boulder floor - a -short second pitch follows immediately leading to a too-tight rift. A 40m -rope is sufficient. - -

    205Nordalpenschacht2/S +
    - -

    Altitude:1762m, length 91m, depth 39m
    - -Location: 36462 E, 82362 N (start of underground survey, main entrance, ~2m from tag)
    - -Marking: tag at main entrance "CUCC 1999-01" - -

    The main (first) entrance is a 2m x 0.5m shaft around 5m higher and 7m -away from a larger, snow-plugged shaft (the second entrance), which in -turn is just above a snow field, a little higher than the Eishöhle path. -Both entrances lie on an obvious fault line which heads uphill for around -100m. If the fault line is followed up to just past a squeeze through -bunde, you can turn left for around 100m to reach the entrance to 1623/136, -Steinschlagschacht. - -

    The main entrance is rigged off a spit and naturals and drops around 8m, -via a natural deviation at a ledge, to a small chamber. A crawl leads off -from here at head height for some distance, but closes off. The way on is -to continue straight down through the floor of this chamber, through -fairly solidly wedged boulders (quite tight) using the rope rigged on the -entrance pitch. This lands at the head of a walking sized rift heading -steeply down. There are two small passages in the wall where the rope -comes down [these connect to the horizontal entrance of -Nordalpenhöhle, see below]. Clamber down the rift. At -the bottom is the snow plug from the second entrance. It is possible to cross -the snow plug. At the far side, the passage closes down and is mud filled -with no draught. - -

    The way on is a flat-out crawl under the right wall, immediately before -the snow plug. The crawl was dug because it was draughting out quite -strongly. Once under the wall, the roof immediately rises to comfortable -crawling height and the passage widens. After 5m, roomy phreatic passage -is reached, around 5m wide and 3m high. A roof tube leads off to the -right. It can also be reached by a roof crawl from further down the -passage on the left. The tube leads to two small chambers and ends in a -too-tight rift. - -

    The floor of the main passage starts to drop away as the passage turns to -the right, leaving a ledge along the left wall. A trickle of water enters -at floor level. A pitch is rigged off the ledge using spits in the left -wall. This pitch drops 10m and ends in a choked chamber. An exposed -traverse on the left, beyond the pitch head, leads to a choked tube. -Directly across from the pitch head, a further roof tube also chokes. - -

    A third, horizontal entrance is found by heading down to the snow filled -shaft (the second entrance) and traversing left beneath a small cliff for -around 20m. This leads to a low, unobvious hole at foot height, noticed -because it was draughting out quite strongly. There is a surface survey to -this third entrance from the first entrance. - -

    The horizontal entrance begins with a flat out crawl in sticky mud, and -reaches a small, low chamber. The low passage continues as hands and -knees crawling. This passes a window on the left which looks into the -snow-filled shaft (the second entrance). Straight ahead and a little -further, an eyehole looks into the chamber which the first entrance pitch -lands in. Continuing on, straddling over a rock ridge leads to two -further eyeholes which look into the sloping rift passage where the rope -ends from the first entrance pitch. - -

    • 41b   (upper)   1625m,   47° 40' 10" N, 13° 48' 42" E
    -and via laser-rangefound point 0/8: E 35833.9 N (52)81250.4 H 1624.5 - -

    Depth from 41b to sump 898m - Overall vertical range 971m in the -41 - 115 - 142 - 144 system. Connections to -Lärchenschacht (88) and on to -Schwarzmooskogeleishöhle (40) do -not increase this. - -

    Length of CUCC's part is approx 5.75 km, while the Germans had about 6 km -in 88 in 1987, and the French (?) connected the Eishöhle (2.5 km or -more) in the same year. This should make the system about 14-15 km all told -before 1996. The Stuttgart group, -Arbeitsgemeinschaft -Höhle und Karst Grabenstetten e.V., have, early in 1996, connected -their cave Schwabenschacht (1623-78) into a passage in -1623/142, one way into the system. This adds no new -depth, but considerably increases the overall length. ARGE have also been -doing much useful resurvey and some exploration, bringing their estimate of -the total length to 22.7 km in 1999. - -

    As the full guidebook description is -understandably quite big and is still evolving, just an overview is given -here. - -

    Location: -Follow Stögerweg to Windloch -and then a hundred metres or so further. When the path starts to drop -steeply, backtrack 10m (where there should be a permanent survey station -'P4') and start to hack up the hillside. Orange paint flashes on the rock -should be visible, and will lead after 300m or so to a cave entrance at the -head of a gully. If it isn't blowing the trees around in the cold air, it -isn't the right place ! - -

    Sub-horizontal passages lead through steeply-hading rifts from this -entrance. A lower route was originally explored by a German group before -CUCC's first visit, and remains poorly documented and not fully explored. -The higher route, explored by CUCC, leads past connections to 142, another CUCC find. Passages trend downhill to -reach the Big Pitch of 100m vertical. - -

    Lärchenhöhle connects at -the bottom of the Big Pitch, and a streamway leads down. A roof passage -connects to CUCC's 144, and another leads on to smaller -pitches to the Big Rift, dropping steeply down several pitches to -reach Junction Chamber with connections to Schnellzughöhle (115). - -

    The route to 115 also leads to Pete's Purgatory, 800m of awful -streamway to the Confluence, much more easily reached by large -fossil passages starting with Dartford Tunnel from Junction -Chamber. The Confluence is around half the depth of the system, and -marks a transition to a single linear streamway leading to great depth, -a feature currently unique in the known caves of the area. - -

    The streamway is interrupted by a bypassable sump and several, mainly -short, pitches, before a low-airspace canal appears to mark the end. However, -a low duck can be passed to reach a deep and very wet shaft Orgasm -Chasm which drops to the final muddy passage and short pitch to a dismal -and deep rift sump. - -

    The sump is 898m below the 41a entrance, and is at just about the same -level as Altausseer See, in whose underwater -risings the Stellerweg water is presumed to emerge. The scope for greater -depth here seems minimal, but connections to various higher entrances have -increased this to c971m, with perhaps a little more potential still to -realise (optimistically up to 1058m). - -

    -Actually on the SW side of Vorder Schwarzmooskogel, but approached by the -same route as for things to the east, as cliffs bar access from Kratzer. -Follow the Stoger weg from Egglgrube, past the T-junction to Kratzer, and on -until there is a red omega in the middle of the path (marking Kat. 28). Just -before this, in a position with a better view, is a laser-rangefound point -marked by a bolt with a painted circle round it. - -

    Take the Eishöhle path, which starts from the omega, going left up -the hillside. Follow this for a few minutes, past an awkward little traverse -rigged with a steel cable and then a couple of minutes further. There is a -very easily missed branch left just before the path traverses a ledge under -an overhang in a cliff to its left in a relatively wide small valley. The -landmark for this point is a dead (lightning) tree up on the right. - -

    Take this left branch, and follow it (few landmarks, but it is a definite -path, and there are cut branches in places). This path eventually climbs -into impenetrable dwarf pine, to emerge at a small gravelly clearing and a -doline, used as a bivouac site. The two entrances are just short distances -away through the pine, the normally-used one being below a prominent larch -tree. The other entrance is a long rift shaft. Both are impressive, though -it is quite infeasible that anyone could ever have found them in the first -place. - -

    The cave is a complex of hading rifts and steep ramps with several deep -points. The deepest point is near the southern limit of the system. A -vertical series with pitches of 9m, 15m, 17m and 13m reaches -Nägschtmol-Meander (1992), where the survey legs are all very short. -This climbs slightly before heading south and dropping, passing Alexander -der Große (a generally level side passage heading southwest to -Leopardencanyon, apparently beyond the known passages in -Schnellzughöhle) to der gute Abgang (the good -lead). A 7m pitch and more steep descents end at a point almost directly -above the assumed line of Pete's Purgatory in Schnellzug, maybe a third of -the way to the Confluence from where it is abandoned for the Purgatory -Bypass. This small streamway lies perhaps 120-130m below Schwabenschacht's -deep point, but it is known that several unsurveyed fossil phreatic passages -lie above this upstream part of the Purgatory, so a connection could be -quite close. - -

    Horizontal entrance at base of small cliff at head of dry valley, leads -over peaty infill to a pitch head. Cross first hole and descend second, 30m -to large chamber. To left is unsurveyed inlet ending too small, while to -right is head of very steeply descending phreatic-tube-like pitch of 15m -vertically (20m+ of rope). This is a little thrutchy to start, but opens out, -and ends in a short climb. - -

    A further 15m pitch follows, hanging clear of a wall made up mainly of -boulders. A way on across the head of the final pitch appears too tight. Hole -in floor is last pitch, of 33m, which has a boulder 10m high in it, and you -can descend either side.

    • The furthest reaches of Siberia were pushed to a conclusion at a new depth of 534m in a series of long trips (up to 18½ hours). This work revealed the existence of a large fossil trunk passage at considerable depth in an area far from the main part of the cave. At the point explored it was comprehensively choked in both directions, but indicates the potential for the future in this area of the cave. -

    • Various possible ways on were looked at in the huge ice-decorated chamber of Schneevulkanhalle, the closest point of approach of the massive south Schwarzmooskogel system to Kaninchenhöhle. Some new passage was found and surveyed, but no great breakthrough was made. This year's work was essential as familiarisation with this cave which CUCC have not worked in previously, and more substantive progress may be hoped for next year. -
