<h2><center>CUCC Austria 2003 - Mission statement</center></h2>
<p>This summer, Cambridge University Caving Club will be continuing its highly successful series of expeditions to the

<p>This summer, Cambridge University Caving Club will be continuing its highly successful series of
expeditions to the Loser plateau in Austria. This document sets out the principal goals of the 2003
expedition.</p>
<h2>Background</h2>
<p>This summer sees CUCC's 27th expedition to the Loser plateau, which lies in the Totes Gebirge mountains, about
80km east of Salzburg. CUCC is the principal group exploring in the area, which continues to yield new discoveries.</p>
<p>This summer sees CUCC's 27th expedition to the Loser plateau, which lies in the Totes Gebirge mountains,
about 80km east of Salzburg. CUCC is the principal group exploring in the area, which continues to yield new
discoveries.</p>
<p>The principal known systems in the area are the southern Schwarzmooskogel system, comprising <a
href="../../smkridge/41/41.htm">Stellerwegh&ouml;hle</a> itself, the stunningly beautiful <a
href="../../smkridge/40/cucc.htm">Schwarzmooskogel Eish&ouml;hle</a>, and a number of other smaller caves, much of
which was explored by CUCC in the 70s and early 80s; and <a href="../../smkridge/161/top.htm">Kaninchenh&ouml;hle</a>,
an extremely complex system discovered by CUCC in 1989 which was the main focus of expeditions between then and
2000.</p>

1989 which was the main focus of expeditions between then and 2000.</p>
<p>For a long period these caves were known to approach each other very closely but a connection between them proved
elusive. This was finally achieved by a German group last year, bringing the total length of the
Schwarzmooskogelh&ouml;hlensystem to over 50km and its depth to 1030m, placing it in among both the world's deepest
and longest caves.</p>

<p> Over the last three years the principal focus of CUCC's work has been <a
href="../../smkridge/204/204.shtml">Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle,</a> a cave lying to the north of the furthest known
reaches of Kaninchenh&ouml;hle. This has quickly yielded over 5.3km of passage reaching a depth of 454m. As well as its
considerable potential in its own right, it has a number of promising leads pointing in the direction of
Kaninchenh&ouml;hle, in particular the Razordance streamway which is currently the deepest known point in the cave and
is no more than 300m away from the Fuzzy Logic series in Kaninchenh&ouml;hle. This area of Kaninchenh&ouml;hle has a
number of large unexplored leads which will be reexamined in more detail now
that a connection to Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle seems possible.

One of the deepest caves in the area is <a href="../../plateau/76.htm">Eislufth&ouml;hle</a>, which is to
the southwest of Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle. This was actually one of the first caves explored by CUCC on
the plateau, in 1977-9. Not all the leads were fully explored at the time, and it is intended to return
there this year and finish off the exploration.
<h2>Principal Goals for 2003</h2>
<h3>Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle:</h3>
The three main goals will be:
<ul>
<li>Continue the exploration of Razordance and other leads heading southwards</li>
<li>Continue the pitch series leading off Swings and Roundabouts (Merry-Go-Round and Plan Not Interesting) explored in
2002</li>
<li>Explore leads in the north-east end discovered in 2001 (Chocolate Salty
Balls area)</li>
</ul>
<h3>Kaninchenh&ouml;hle:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Revisit deep pitches in Far North area</li>
</ul>
<h3>Elsewhere:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Re-explore <a href="http://cucc.survex.com/expo/smkridge/2000-09/2000-09.htm">Hauchh&ouml;hle</a>, which lies above the hypothetical Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle - Kaninchenh&ouml;hle
connection</li>
<li>Explore any other undescended caves in this area</li>
<li>Explore the many large unexplored entrances reported on the far side of the ridge behind the Steinbr&uuml;cken
bivvy site, which are believed to be at the same stratigraphic level as the principal horizontal development in
Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle</li>
<li>Completing the exploration of Razordance, at the deepest currently known point of
Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle.
<li>Continuing the exploration of Gaffered to the Wall, a pitch series explored last summer to a depth of
220m and showing no sign of stopping
<li>Reexploring Eislufth&ouml;hle.
</ul>
<h3>Documentation and resurveying:</h3>
<ul>
<li>Surface survey to <a href="../../smkridge/2002-01/2002-01.htm">
Artischockenh&ouml;hle</a> (discovered 2001)</li>
<li>Sort out confusion over exact location of Hauchh&ouml;le, which appears to be listed twice in our indices under different numbers (2000-08 and 2000-09)</li>
</ul>
There are also a number of other aims. These are not the principal focus of the expedition, more things for
people to do on rest days or if they are not keen on any of the above. They are detailed on <a href="priorities.html">this page</a>.

<h2 align=center>2003 Expo priorities: Things to do in Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle</h2>
<h1 align=center>2003 Expo priorities</h1>
<p>These are in approximate descending order of priority within each category. This is intended to stimulate discussion - feel free to rant at will.</p>
<p>The three primary goals for 2003 are:</p>
<ul>
<li>Razordance
<li>Gaffered to the Wall
<li>Eislufth&ouml;hle
</ul>
<p>The people principally responsible for organising each of these three parallel efforts will be:
<table border>
<tr><td>Razordance:</td><td>Dour, Mark, Dave</td></tr>
<tr><td>Gaffered:</td><td>Martin, Earl</td></tr>
<tr><td>Eislufth&ouml;hle:</td><td>Olly, Tony</td></tr>
</table>
</p>
<p>There are also a number of auxilliary projects. These are largely intended for people to do on rest days,
or if they don't feel like doing a big pitch series. Some of these are listed below; cf. the <a
href="../../smkridge/204/qm.shtml">204 QM list</a>.</p>
<h3>Pitch series (requiring bolting)</h3>
<ul>
<li />Razordance
<li />Gaffered to the Wall
<li />Merry-Go-Round <i>(Brian's pitches off Swings)</i>
<li />Eleven Second Rattle (01-38)
<li />Merry Fucking Christmas (01-68)
<li />Merry-Go-Round (Brian's pitches off Swings, QM 02-07 - rock quality not brilliant)
<li />Eleven Second Rattle (QM 01-38)
<li />Merry Fucking Christmas (QM 01-68) <a href="#fn1">*</a>
<li />01-16A (off Boulder Coaster)
<li />(we're never going to run out of pitches!)
</ul>
<h3>Horizontal stuff</h3>
<h3>Horizontal stuff in Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle</h3>
<ul>
<li />Possible continuation of Crowning Glory (01-10A) - pitch has been bolted?
<li />Possible continuation of Crowning Glory (01-10A) - pitch may have been bolted?
<li />Climb 01-79C and 01-78B (possible connection to Helter Skelter, nice one to tick off)
<li />Crawls off Treeumphant (00-16B to 00-26C)
<li />Crawls off main Swings &amp; Roundabouts passage (01-74C to 01-95C)
<li />Attack Helter Skelter boulder choke (drafting, visible way on)
<li />Finish off Up at 45&deg;
</ul>
<h3>Other caves</h3>
<ul>
<li>Hauchh&ouml;hle (has an undescended pitch, and lies above conjectured Kaninchenh&ouml;hle - Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle connection)
<li>Brauningh&ouml;hle (close to Eislufth&ouml;hle, several QMs)
<li>Prospecting for new entrances beyond the ridge to the northeast of Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle
<li>Artischockenh&ouml;hle (needs a surface survey and proper description)
<li>Lots of documentation and resurvey work to tie in loose ends
</ul>
<hr>
<a name="fn1"><font size="-1">* The MFC tube comes out in the side of a large shaft which continues both up
and down. This may connect with a doline on the surface almost directly above. If so, this would provide a
seventh entrance to Steinbr&uuml;ckenh&ouml;hle, although this would not be of much use given the unpleasant
nature of the crawl connecting it to the rest of the cave.</font>
