<div class="triptitle">AngfangergluckHohle - Pushing towards KH- Trip number 4</div>
|

Our fourth trip in this delightful hole was in hope of connecting it with KH. On every hour we had agreed to scream at whatever point we’d made it to in attempts to hear each other through the ‘Bad Aussee sex shop’ connection- aptly named as neither turned out to exist.
|
||||
We dropped the first four pitches/ traverses without incident and while bolting the fifth I felt a whoosh of air and the sound of water and did an extremely quick changeover of my descender and my pants.
|
||||
Luckily it turned out to be pouring down the aven opposite so I sat in the emergency shelter for 45 minutes checking whether it would start pouring down mine. It didn’t. We arrived at the bottom of that section and found a lovely bat skeleton through a window to the side of the floor rift. The next pitch was down a tight rift and led into a 25 metre hang into a large aven. This unfortunately tightened down to a wiggling rift that we shouted down extensively but turned out to be too tight for people. Some chemical or percussive persuasion could perhaps make this bigger. Interest in this likely depending on its proximity to KH leads. Little Tom and I dropped the pitch next to the muddy traverse that appears after the enrichment Aven traverse and Fordo fault. This was a 30m impressive pitch, however it did not lead anywhere apart from to another bat skeleton. There are arguably three more leads in the cave. One at the bat skeleton window which goes through an extremely tight rift in the floor but looks like it opens up underneath by the head of the 5th pitch. The other is a drippy Aven which you go up into from the wind tunnel before bug world. There is a hole on the opposite side of the drips that goes down around 10m, undescended. The final lead is the Aven on the far right as you come into vertigo view chamber. Unsure if this goes anywhere as it is likely the upstream beginning of the rift that ends up being Fordo Fault. Probably worth dropping though.

The trip out was slow. Staying as a group of 5 , to avoid anyone getting lost, we worked our way back through all the obstacles. Getting to the bottom of the drippy entrance pitch. Lara lead us out the tight (dry) crawling entrance which was not particularly enjoyable for the larger or bruised members of the team. Lara did a great job of navigating back up to the top entrance in the dark, having only done it once before in the early hours of morning after her previous epic trip. Back at the entrance just before 3am*, we found Big Tom having a nap in the entrance after an equally long trip in KH.

Together we all walked steadily back, getting to top camp around 4am* for a quick curry and noodles and in bed for 4:30am.
