Nice write up [re Honorata's 3-day update]. The rope there now is stuff we bought! Think Ben is going to collect the UKC rope this weekend

<br>
Three blokes from Cardiff Uni on their first Expo with CUCC. Left a house at Reading with the goal of getting to Bad Ausse in a single day. A task deemed challenging at best, stupid at worse. The saga begun at 1:30 am. With a base camp eta of 9pm we excitedly exited the ferry hitting the motorway heading for Germany. It was cool runnings for the first 700 km. Until the dreaded check engine light appeared with the car going into limp mode on the scary lane of the Autobahn. A maccies and petrol station near Stuttgart were quickly found, breakdown was called. The wait for rescue was painful wondering if we would make it to Austria. Support arrived with grim news. Problem with the turbo, needs to be taken to a garage which is open in the morning. Arrangements were made at a local hotel to the cost of the drivers entire expo budget. The morning came with a nervous trip to the local garage with baited breath. Good news came with the problem quickly being diagnosed as a sensor issue. After the pricey hotel breakfast the Autobahn was returned to making it to Munich in good time. Passing Munich on the last stretch to Austria, things were looking up. This was until a black bmw slowly changed into our lane with the feared follow me sign in the back window. We nervously followed the Rozzers to a nearby police station where our papers were thoroughly checked, with one of them quizzing a passenger on whether they "smoked". Thankfully we were back on our way, we thought that we had a clean journey to the border ahead. Yet again a black bmw slowly moved in front of us with their sign flashing. Another check without the fishing for drugs. After this whole ordeal we arrived at base camp, one day late, with a breakdown and two stops from the police. A beer was cracked with relief!</div>

<b>Fishface</b><br>
<br>
A couple of shallow leads were pushed and killed. In terms of deep leads, me (Honorata), Radost, and Mike pushed 60 meters above <b>Clap my Pitch Up</b> which required bolting a muddy traverse (we called it <b>European Federalists</b>). Later, Mike, Emma, Mealy, and Jonty camped in Fishface for 2 days to push the area further, but they were running in loops. The traverse we rigged has a strong draft which seems to be coming from the massive pitch at the end of it. The pitch is likely part of <b>Clap my Pitch Up</b> which had been explored earlier and might even connect to <b>Ulysses</b> above. Mike also explored <b>Perseid Showers</b> which does not seem to go anywhere. In sum, the most promising leads were killed.<br>
<br>
<b>Homecoming</b><br>
<br>
A fantastic lead has been explored by Wassil, Chi, and Oakem behind <b>The Second Coming</b>, called <b>Salamander Queen</b> (not to be confused with <b>Salamander Queen II</b> which lies closer to the entrance, under <b>Radagast</b> -- I suppose the salamanders are crawling outwards, hence the reversed numbering). The passage was deemed a good lead because of a strong outward draft. <b>Salamander Queen</b> is achieved by going from <b>Radagast</b>, through <b>The Second Coming</b>, <b>Willfully Endangering Lives</b>, <b>Swiss Cheese</b>, <b>Salamander Queen II</b>, <b>German Engineering</b>, and <b>War of Attrition</b>. It is an approx. 90m deep pitch which seems to continue with a scary down climb. Wassil and Chi intend to camp in Homecoming on Saturday to push the lead further.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, Harry and Charlotte (with the help of Sarah and Becka) have been pursuing another lead in the direction of <b>Watershed</b>, called <b>Plowstone Canyon</b>. It is a phreathic tube with a draft (not a very strong one). They set off to the plateau today to continue pushing it.<br>
<br>
<b>Prospecting</b><br>
<br>
A few small caves were explored and killed between Fishface and Homecoming by various groups. Radost and I found a massive cave entrance 5 mins of walking from Homecoming which we named <b>Amphitheater</b> Cave (<a href="http://expo.survex.com/1623/2023-hbrw-03.html" target="_blank" class="link link--external" rel="nofollow ugc noopener">http://expo.survex.com/1623/2023-hbrw-03.html</a>). The entrance lies approx. 200m directly above the <b>Watershed</b> lead in Homecoming, giving hope that the two caves connect.<br>

We returned there with Ash on July 11th to explore it. We surveyed it until the entrance to the second pitch (70m) and Ash bolted it halfway down it. On July 12th, Ash and Janis returned there to push it further. They arrived at the bottom of the second pitch and continued down a passage which chokes with ice boulders, making further exploration dangerous. Essentially, the lead was killed, but we surveyed about 115 m in total. The second pitch is drippy and has ice patches (independent from the water entering it), and so is <b>Watershed</b>. Perhaps when the ice melts over years, we could return there to push the lead further. <br>
<br>
<b>Festering</b><br>
<br>
Meanwhile, rest day activities took place. Me, Radost, Chi, Harry, and Ash went canyoning to Strubklamm near Saltzburg. The canyon is graded V1A3, it is suitable to do without ropes (if jumps up to 10m are acceptable) and can be done on an inflatable unicorn. Alice and Maddie also went there later.<br>

Multiple groups went on via ferratas. Me, Radost, Harry, Charlotte, Oakem, and Jonty went to <b>Panorama Kletterstieg Sisi</b>, graded D and located close to the Loseralm parking lot. It is a fun vertical climb -- the scarcity of aids (besides the metal wire) makes it entertaining. The description says the route takes between 1-2 hours but it took us 50 mins with a photo break in the middle.<br>
