1623/76 Question Mark List
+
+
This is a list of probable leads collated from log book writeups, published
+accounts, and surveys. The depths are approximate, and often vary between
+sources:

+

+

+ before The Fiesta Run. -260m ish
+
+

+
Un-descended pitch (p15m?), reached by dry route from below The
+ Fiesta Run. -380m
76 is striking for going notably deeper (in absolute terms) than anything
+else apart from the lower reaches of Stellerweg.
+
+
+
The caves under the Schwarzmooskogel ridge
+show definite levels of major horizontal phreatic development. These can be
+seen to some extent in the screenshot above, but they're clearer if you play
+around with the survey in Aven. The Austrian cavers tell us that corresponding
+phreatic levels are seen in many caves all over the surrounding parts of
+Austria, so there are good reasons to think they're not a phenomenon only
+associated with this ridge.
+
+
+
These levels haven't been observed so clearly in the caves out under the
+Loser Augst-Eck plateau subarea, but Tony Malcolm
+noted signs of them. Exploration in
+the early years of CUCC in Austria followed a pattern of "drop pitches
+to a sump or other conclusion, derig, try another entrance" - the major
+horizontal levels under the ridge were mostly found much more recently
+once we got a bit more thorough.
+
+
+
A particularly notable feature of a number of the caves in this area
+is strong outward draughts (in Summer at any rate). The very names of
+the caves indicate this: Eislufthöhle is "Ice air cave" or "Ice breath
+cave", while Schneewindschacht is "Snow wind shaft". 99 is noted as having
+a "strong draught".
+
+
+
Wildly hypothesising for a moment, this might indicate air coming from
+higher entrances, in the same way that the strongly draughting entrances on the
+East side of the Schwarzmooskogel ridge are most likely due to airflow through
+from the higher entrances of Kaninchenhöhle and Steinschlagschacht. It would be very
+interesting if there was significant horizontal development linking some of
+the caves under the plateau with those under the ridge!

There are a number of other leads in Steinbrückenhöhle which might merit exploration, including an undescended pitch (QM 01-38A) in the Chocolate Salty Balls area, known as 'The Eleven Second Rattle' after the sound heard on dropping rocks down it; another undescended pitch (01-68A) at the end of the Merry F***ing Christmas crawl; and many others (cf. the Steinbrückenhöhle question mark list).

Eislufthöhle (1623/76)
+
+Eislufthöhle was found on the second
+ever CUCC expedition to the Loser area in 1977. That year the explorers got
+to -150m with the way on wide open. They pushed again in 1978, and in 1979
+finally reached a sump at approximately -506m. They derigged and nobody has
+been back in the intervening quarter of a century. The area is
+interesting, so it's about time we had another
+look.
+
+
+The 76 description says "There are a number of going leads in this cave
+and you're welcome to them". We've collated 8 of them
+from information in the log book writeups, published accounts, and surveys.
+All but one of these are in Hall of the Green King (-260m) or above - the
+proposal is to allocate enough tackle to 76 to enable us to get to this level.
+Judging from CUCC's experience reexploring
+Steinschlagschacht and Arge's
+looking at old CUCC finds in the Stellerweg area, there are likely to also
+be a number of undocumented or previously unnoticed leads.
+
+Eislufthöhle was surveyed to about -150m in 1976 (Waddington: "I
+would not claim more than grade 2, in the light of subsequent surveying
+experience"). The survey below -150m is almost entirely based on rope
+and ladder lengths. Perhaps unsuprisingly, the published surveys are
+missing horizontal passages in places where they're described in write-ups!
+None of the original data survives anyway, so we should try to produce a decent
+survey of the known cave as well as mapping new finds.
+
+99 is a strongly draughting entrance
+about 35m from 76 which was explored to a "ledge with a 1m diameter shaft
+dropping in a corkscrew at least 20m." (at perhaps -40m).
+Contemporary reports suggest
+"It is not clear how [99] relates to 106, but if it does come into 106 then
+it must do so fairly far down." (106 was another number allocated to 76
+initially).
+
+If we exhaust 76, Schneewindschacht
+is in the same area. Waddington: "if you want a cave with some real
+potential to go in a big way, I'd suggest a return to 97 - Schneewindschacht.
+This has a wide open phreatic tunnel in it, which could be easily gained with
+the aid of a rock drill. A rock drill might also be of use in making the Nun's
+C*nt a bit more amenable".
