<h2 align=center>Expo 2007 (Cambridge Austrian Cave Science Expedition): mission statement</h2>
<p>Expo 2007 (Cambridge Austrian Cave Science Expedition) seeks to build on decades of expeditions by incorporating scientific research aims while maintaining a high standard of original exploration and survey. Below is a provisional outline of our major exploration and research goals. For additional descriptions, please see the <a href="grants.shtml">grant and institution application page</a>. The <a href="gearreq.shtml">gear requirements</a> page addresses rope legnths required and other gear that needs to be budgeted. </p>

<ul>
<li>Deeper leads, in rough order from deeper to shallower - we're unlikely to
have enough rope to push these this year but I'm leaving them here commented
out as fodder for future years:</li>
<ul>
<li>The original 1970s route below -300m (Fiesta Run) is still to be revisited.</li>
<li>Leads at the "Hall of the Greene King" level which were identified in
2006 as promising.</li>
<li>Explore the pitches beyond "Razor Advance" (the "Keg Series" sump bypass).</li>
</ul>
-->
<li>Brave New World:</li>
<ul>
<li>Descend A* pitch to look at a couple of promising
leads (04-57B (Ramp) and 04-38B (Pendulum to slanting pitch)) and re-read a
clearly bogus compass reading in "Forward to the Past" rift.</li>
<li>Drop Canyon pitch (with a long enough rope this
time) and check if the main passage leads back to Nexus pitch as the direction
suggests it will. Also check the apparent lead in the opposite direction.</li>
<li>Drop Nexus pitch - it seems to be in an interesting position.</li>
<li>Drop the pitch beyond the pitch into "Pretty but Pointless".</li>
<li>Push leads in the Boiling Tubes.</li>
</ul>
<li>Leads in the shallower parts of the 1970's route:</li>
<ul>
<li>Look for bypass to the current Boulder Chamber route (somewhat
awkward with tackle). For example, traversing over the top of Saved Shaft.</li>
<li>Investigate the pitch reached by swinging into the window on the first
pitch of Keg Series.</li>
<li>Swing into windows near the top of Follow Through Shaft.</li>
<li>Traverse round from "The Ledge" to check if there is an inlet or not.</li>

<h2 align=center>Expo 2007 (Cambridge Austrian Cave Science Expedition): mission statement (76 surface list)</h2>
<ul>
<li>Gemsh&ouml;hle area:</li>
<ul>
<li>Explore the QMs at ~ -25m in <a href="../../plateau/107.htm">Gemsh&ouml;hle (107)</a> (description suggests non-draughting
chokes, survey suggests QMs), and the ~-70m route to the Big Pitch for any
horizontal leads, as this is about the same level as Brave New World, and &lt;100m
away.</li>
<li>Explore, survey and tag <a href="../../plateau/83.htm">83</a> (specifically phreatic continuation beyond pitch).</li>
<li><a href="../../smkridge/157.htm">Pirat Schacht (157)</a>. Explored by
someone other than CUCC, and apparently only partially descended by CUCC.</li>
</ul>
<li>Eislufth&ouml;hle area:</li>
<ul>
<li>Check surveys of <a href="../../plateau/2004-01/2004-01.html">2004-01 (bivi
cave)</a> vs <a href="../../plateau/99/99.html">99</a> - the legs seem
misaligned in one or the other.</li>
<li>"Batter Pot" is a potential entrance above Pancake Chips Aven in 76, which
might provide an easier route in to at least some of Brave New World. It
probably needs minor excavation work to make an easy entrance.</li>
<li><a href="../../plateau/97.htm">Schneewindschacht (97)</a> probably deserves a revisit, due to its proximity to 76 and a phreatic level known to have a continuing traverse - the "not even mentioned as tight" part before the entrance
squeeze looks fun though!</li>
<li>Look at potential "back doors" into 97 - there are numerous holes
nearby.</li>
<li><a href="../../plateau/105/105.html">105</a> lies very near 76 and on the
same fault system that the original 76 entrances are formed in. 105 is
probably just a ~40m blind shaft as the 1970s description says, but worth
shoving a rope down to verify.</li>
<li>Descend <a href="../../plateau/2005-98/2005-98.html">Hanger Pot</a> with
full caving kit and later in the expedition to see if the snow plug is
passable. The "straight on" lead in the Boiling Tubes in Brave New World in 76
is heading for it.</li>
<li>Recheck draughting icy tube in <a
href="../../plateau/2006-73.html">Ice Curtain Cave</a> with crampons or an ice
axe (probably best done late in expo).</li>
</ul>
<li>Br&auml;uningh&ouml;hle area:</li>
<ul>
<li>Find and tag <a href="../../plateau/84.htm">84</a> (draughts, unexplored tube) and <a href="../../plateau/86.htm">86</a> (almost certainly refound in 2006
since there's only one shaft in the area which seems to match the description
- no paint spotted yet though).</li>
<li>Survey and check out any missed leads in <a
href="../../plateau/85/85.html">85</a> (~50m long, no rigging gear
apparently) and <a href="../../plateau/81/81.html">81</a> (~15m long, no
rigging gear).</li>
<li><a href="../../plateau/2006-70/2006-70.html">2006-70</a> needs a surface
survey and the pitch descending.</li>
<li><a href="../../plateau/148/148.html">Marilyn Monroe H&ouml;hle (148)</a> is
described as ending at <i>"a steep ice-climb for which no equipment was
available"</i>. Also mentioned is a route which <i>"terminates in a steep ice
slope at the far side of the chamber"</i>. The cave has a good cold outward
draught, so a revisit with ice gear might be productive.</li>
</ul>
<li>Miscellaneous:</li>
<ul>
<li>Survey (and surface survey to) the mysterious "+" cave <a
href="../../kratzer/2006-72/2006-72.html"> fairly near the Top Camp col.</li>
<li>Surface survey from <a href ="../../plateau/102/102.html">102</a> to
101main or other nearby entrance.</li>
<li>Refind
<a href="../../plateau/1999-OB-01/1999-OB-01.html">99-OB-01</a>
(tagged and photographed and bearings taken in 1999; not explored or
GPSed, and not found in a search in 2006).</li>
<li>Try to refind <a href="../../plateau/178.htm">178</a>. It was found
shortly after <a href="../../plateau/177.htm">Tantalus Schacht (177)</a>
on the same prospecting walk. 177 has proved impossible to relocate,
but if 178 were found that might give us a better idea where to look.</li>
<li>Look for
<a href="../../plateau/110.htm">110</a> - it's further out than
<a href="../../plateau/111.htm">111</a> and
<a href="../../plateau/112.htm">112</a>
which we found last year, and was found by the same people on the same surface
walk. However, we looked last year and there's a huge area it could
potentially be in so it may be a hopeless case.</li>
<!-- Dave's idea from 2006:
<li><a href="../../plateau/171/171.html">171</a> needs a survey: it's apparently
&gt;150m of just-below-surface passage with several skylights, but leaving
something this length unsurveyed is an embarrassment. Closer to top camp
than the 76 bivvy, so could be done by anyone.</li>
