<B>New cave 2018-NTU-01</B>
<BR>
Paul had prepared a list of some caves found in 2004 which were within 300m of Top Camp.
In the blazing heat of morning, Nat and Paul set off with packs full of SRT kits,
50m rope, hangers, drill, bolting kit, oversuits, helmets and lights.
First we went the wrong way and ended up meandering through bunda above top camp.
Finally we set a bearing towards one of the caves in question, and this took us on
a scramble parallel to (east of, uphill from) the path to Tunnocks.
We bumbled onto a small cave entrance which we named 2018-NTU-01 located in a
gully filled with wild chives. <IMG SRC=2018-ntu-01_neil_view_west.jpg>
The entrance is below a large fixed boulder with the tag on its SW side
<IMG SRC=2018-ntu-01_tag_arrows.jpg>. I (Nat) squeezed down through some
dodgy loose boulders at the entrance, but could not get further down safely.
I could see beyond the boulder choke that there was a vertical shaft,
smooth-sided, which we measured by Disto as 2.7m deep, probably landing
onto a gravel floor as judged by the sound of throwing rocks down.
This vertical shaft appears to turn a corner into a rift heading South-West
(downslope). <IMG SRC=2018-ntu-01_looking_down_shaft-and-rift.jpg>
No noticeable draft, but it was hard to get my head right in.
The shaft is definitely big enough for a person to stand in comfortably.
With a bit of tidying up the big loose boulders inside the entrance,
one could get into the shaft and see where the rift goes.
<P>
Data from Nat's GPS (Garmin Oregon 650): <BR>
1834m, N47&deg;41.518, E13&deg;49.298 <BR>
UTM UPS: 33T 0411579, 5282737 <BR>
GPS accuracy not noted for this point, but the other points this day had 3m accuracy.
<BR>
This cave was <A HREF=#t2018-08-13>tagged by Nat & Neil a few days later on Aug. 13</A>.
<BR>
To reach this cave easily from Top Camp, just follow the Tunnocks path until
the cave marked on GPS as "1623.p2001-02", then turn right (uphill) and go up
a small chive & boulder-filled gully until you see the big boulder with the tag on it.
<P>
<B>Rift hole to descend</B>
<BR>
Several meters downhill from 2018-NTU-01, in passing we waypointed on the
GPS a "rift hole to descend", which looked like a promising hole that is
nowhere near any already-catalogued waypoints.
1846m, UTM: 33T 0411511, 5282847. (no photo)
<P>
We finally rejoined the path to Tunnocks (which we should have used
all along) and after a while, we waypointed on the GPS another hole
that's most likely the same as catalogued 1623.p2002-07.
<P>
<B>2018-PF-01,02,03</B>
<BR>
Arriving at the Big Cairn (GPS coords UTM: 33T 0411542, 5282881)
which is on the Tunnocks path, we followed the 2005 instructions
and veered left on an alleged heading towards the fabled caves
2004-18, 17, and 16 (unfortunately the instructions proved
impossible to follow; see our updated writeup for the best
approach to 2004-18). Directly off the Tunnocks path we got
distracted as we came upon 3 shafts which were not on the GPS
catalogue: we named them 2018-PF-01 (which we tagged; see our
survey of the same day), 2018-PF-02 (which we tagged the next
day with Wookey; undescended), and 2018-PF-03
(which Paul tagged some days later).
<P>
2018-PF-01 Tag: 1857m, UTM: 33T 0411526, 5282885 <BR>
2018-PF-02: 1859m, UTM: 33T 0411540, 5282900 <BR>
2018-PF-03: 1858m, UTM: 33T 0411530, 5282893 <BR>
GPS with 3m accuracy for all. <BR>
<P>
<B>2018-PF-01</B> is a 2m-diameter shaft with an easy climb down
to a mossy slope. We surveyed it [see Paul's excellent digital
survey]. <IMG SRC=2018-pf-01_paul_drilling_tag_view-northeast.jpg>
<P>
<B>2018-PF-02</B> is an impressive, open surface shaft about 3.5m
diameter and 11.5m deep (as measured by Disto). It looks like it
continues horizontally into a rift heading upslope. There is a
good spot to drill bolts for rigging where we installed the tag.
<P>
<B>2018-PF-03</B> is an open rift between PF-01 and PF-02 about
5.6m deep, 1.75m wide, 4.6m long (as measured by Disto).
Paul climbed down PF-03 and found it was choked at the end
nearest (heading towards) the big shaft PF-02. Thus, it
dashed all our hopes of finding a free-climbable access to the big shaft.
<BR><IMG SRC=2018-pf-03_and_pf-02_arrows.jpg>
<P>
<B>2018-NTU-02</B>
<BR>
Afterwards we circled painfully through obstacles of
larch and cliffs until we stumbled across another interesting
hole, which we named 2018-NTU-02. <IMG SRC=2018-ntu-02_view-west.jpg>
<BR>
1861m, UTM: 33T 0411522, 5282905, GPS with 3m accuracy. <BR>
It is a window in the side of a surface shaft filled with
grass. Nat climbed down into it using a handline tied with
loops, which proved essential. The small shaft is vertical
and has a depth of 4.6m (as measured by Disto) and a
diameter of about 2 to 3m. A passage extends about 2m
horizontally at the base of this small shaft, ending in a
rubble choke which is the underside of the large surface
shaft. [See scanned sketch in our survey notes.]
<IMG SRC=2018-ntu-02_entrance_pitch-4.6m.jpg>
<BR>
We drilled and installed a Hilti, but did not have any tags,
and we were unable to return to put the tag in later.
The tag has been made and is sitting in the Tags tub
at top camp. <IMG SRC=2018-ntu-02_drilled-hole_view-south.jpg>
<P>
<B>A big opening in the side of the mountain</B>
<BR>
Next we headed again for the mythical 2004-18, and reached the
south-eastern edge of a huge steep-sided valley: Cubic Valley.
<IMG SRC=2004-18_valley_cubic_boulder_afar_view_west.jpg WIDTH=200>
<I>(Note: the next day we found a much easier way with Wookey, by
going from the Tunnocks path round the northern edge of the valley,
as recorded in our uploaded GPS track and described in the updated
Approach to 2004-18.)</I> Following the southern edge of the cliff,
we found a way to climb down into the valley. From the eastern edge
of this valley is visible a large opening in the opposite (north side)
cliff, which I waypointed from my position. The opening should be
investigated, as it seems to be below Tunnocks.
<IMG SRC=cubic_valley_east-end_cave-view-north.jpg>
<P>
<B>Freezer Hole</B>
<BR>
In the lowest point of the eastern bowl of Cubic Valley is a small
hole in the rubble which emits freezing cold air.
We measured the temperature just inside the hole as 9°C,
compared to 18°C just outside the hole (in the shade)
(- and the temperature in the sun on the plateau that day
was about 30°C). This hole is choked with rubble, but it would
certainly be an interesting digging project for future Expos.
<P>
<B>2004-18 and Mystery Shafts</B>
<BR>
Finally, heading westward down Cubic Valley towards the
Cube-Shaped Boulder, we reached the fabled cave. The whole
section of valley is full of tantalising deep shafts which
must be explored! Just beside 2004-18 we found another shaft
with a tag marked <B>"AA 1 2017"</B> but there is no recorded
survey, no database entry, no information anywhere about it .
<IMG SRC=aa-1-2017_with-tag.jpg>, <IMG SRC=aa-1-2017_looking-down.jpg>
<BR>Beside this shaft is another <B>shaft with a snow plug
and 2 spits</B> well positioned for rigging, but no visible
tag nor informations recorded.
<IMG SRC=bolted-untagged-cave_beside_aa-1-2017_view-northwest.jpg>
Who could have been there?
<P>
<B>2004-16 and 2004-17 and Maybe Hole</B>
<BR>
As it was getting late and our water bottles were empty and
it was very hot, we left our heavy caving gear in a hole and
tried to head back to top camp. On the way out of the valley
we found the other 2 caves 2004-16 and 2004-17, which we
waypointed on the GPS (1878m, N47° 41.594' E13° 49.150' and
1881m, N47° 41.608' E13° 49.150', respectively).
Then we struggled on through thick larch and sheer cliffs,
passing by a potential hole to explore (UTM: 33T 0411410,
5282786), in our dehydrated and grumpy state, until we saw someone
walking on the Fischgesicht path in the distance, which we could
eventually reach and thankfully followed back to Top Camp, arriving
just 20 minutes before our callout time!

<B>Surveying 2004-18 Eiskeller</B>
<BR>
The day after our eventful prospecting trip, Nat, Paul, and Wookey
returned to 2004-18 to survey it. We recovered our gear left in a hole,
and Paul rigged. Feeling hot, I went down in my t-shirt and trousers.
But during rigging and surveying I got so cold that I had to ask Wookey
to send my bag of layers down the rope. We landed on the snow plug which
had blocked further exploration in 2005, and rigged a rebelay from which
to climb down the snow plug. Our first ice climbing experience! At the
base of the snow plug is a chamber with a side aven and a rubble floor and
possibly a tiny gap round the western back end of the snowplug but we did
not fancy squeezing into it [see photos]. We decided to name it Eiskeller
(Ice House) as it looks just like
<A HREF=https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eiskeller> one.</A>
<P>
We surveyed back up the pitch [see our survey and notes] and emerged
gratefully into the blazing sunshine, where Wookey had been sunbathing
the whole time. Then we took the easy hike back to Top Camp, which we'd
found on the way in [see our description in Approach and our GPS track].
<P>
<B>Twin Caves</B>
<BR>
Along the northern edge of the valley approaching 2004-18 we waypointed
two shafts with snow inside. UTM: 33T 0411527, 5282982.
<P>
<B>Summary: go back to Cubic Valley!!</B>
<BR>
Given the number of deep shafts in this valley, it's the most exciting
place to return to. The Cube-shaped boulder sitting above 2004-18 is
an easy landmark to find [see our photos]. The hike to/from Top Camp
is so quick & easy that it makes a perfect few days of rigging and
surveying for Expo novices or for people who don't want to go deep.
According to our GPS track, the hike is 670m and takes 23 minutes.
Be sure to wear an oversuit and layers!
