Navigation\neventually got us to 106 where a draught was still evident in 106 and 106A\nbut not in 106B. Simon went down and put bolts in - last year's anchors\nwere well preserved - but had to smash off ice-formations to get into 106A.\nThe Bluewater was fed in and belayed and Andy went down to the top of the\nsnow plug, which had a tiny gap round it. \n\n<br /><br />Tried a new hole which led down c6m to a small chamber with a side aven whose walls were \ncoated with a thick ( 6cm ) layer of hexagonal ice-crystals which were very loose, so the \nexplorer exitted to the top of the snow and started to DIG out the original route past the \nplug. Hacking away with the hammer soon enlarged the 15cm slot to 1m and got down to 5m deep \nwhere it got bigger and loose snow could be kicked down. Here ice formations smashed off for \nsafety and Andy could see down to the 'snow platform' which was just a step in the steep n\n&eacute;v&eacute;. However, he did not descend to it because of a nasty rub above. Andy \nexitted and Simon descended to put a bolt in at the snow plug level, which took slightly \nlonger than expected. The pitch is obviously going to be a right bastard to rig on SRT, even \nmore than ladders - probably 3 more bolts needed. \n\nAndy.\n\n<br /><br /><a href=\"../1977/andylg.htm#id1977-76-7\">Previous trip</a>/\n<a href=\"#id1978-76-2\">Next trip</a>",

Once on the plateau, we took the remaining ladders and another\nrope up to 98. After rigging the pitch as yesterday, Mike was the first to\ndescend 70' of ladder and reach the bottom of the fine entrance shaft. After\na brief exploration, I followed, lifelined down by Ben. Mike and myself\nfirst explored the most obvious of the two passages, a small rift section\nsloping downwards about 30 feet, but becoming too narrow and uncomfortable\nto pursue (sharp rock). \n<br /><br />\nAfter failing to find a way on, we returned to the\nbottom of the pitch to take a look at the short section of passage on the\nopposite side of the shaft. This opens out into another large shaft, and\nafter chucking several rocks down, we called to John to come down to take a\nlook at the new shaft, which we estimate to be another superb shaft of about\n70'. \n<br /><br />\nWe returned to the surface to fetch more equipment and bolts for\nrigging the next pitch. Owing to the ominous presence of thunder, lightning\nand hailstones, we sheltered with the present Team Bluewater members before\ngiving up for the day and strolling back from the plateau in the rain. \n<br /><br /> \nNicky.\n<br /><br /><!--<a href=\"#id1978-98-1\">Previous trip</a>/\n<a href=\"#id1978-98-3\">Next trip</a>-->",

The bolt was nearly in when shouts from\nabove indicated lightning - and immediate evacuation. Between Simon's bolt\nyesterday and the new bolt (c 20') the rope has a nasty snow rub which makes\nprusiking horrible, and at least one ice/rock rub; the rigging needed here is\ndifficult to conceive - perhaps a 10m ladder would help (DEFEATIST!).

After about 3/4 of the hole, my stinky went out, so I descended in\ndarkness to Yesterday's Terminus.

The Interalp was removed from same and\nput in the tockle bog.\n\n<br /><br />Moving forward (urgh !) we reached the takeoff for pitch 6 (gnuk, thrutch\n!). Andy put in a bolt about 1m below the big ledge which gives a very good\nchangeover for the stand-off pitch below. This pitch gives the impression of\ndropping into the side of a vadose canyon - confirmed by finding an inlet\n10m up on the left (ie. upstream).\n\n<br /><br />Down the narrow passage into boulder land, Andy found a climb up on the\nright which led to a short roomy passage to yet another shaft - no draught\n[found by Nick, 1977]. Directly onward to the big chamber, less drip this\ntime, we found an OK freeclimb down c 5m under a colossal boulder. Straight\non, the rift proved to be very high but not too wide. Andy dropped down to\nan impossibly narrow streamway, while Doug found a useful traverse level\nleading about 50m to a small chamber into which we could not safely descend,\nbut observed a hole into which boulders were lobbed, 25m ? The rift\ncontinues beyond, and we can't tell where the (much increased) draught comes\nfrom, retreated.\n\n<br /><br />Back at the 'final' pitch, Andy set off and observed more question marks\nhalfway up the pitch. Doug had immense problems with his system, and the\nexit, right to the surface, was accompanied by continuous swearing and\ncursing, Doug surfacing 15 mins or so behind Andy. \n\n<div class=\"timeug\">T/U: 5.5 hours</div>\n5&frac12; hours.\n<br/>Andy.\n\n<br /><br /><a href=\"#id1978-76-5\">Previous trip</a>/\n<a href=\"#id1978-76-7\">Next trip</a>",

The cloud dropped once, covering\nthe plateau in fog, then you could see the mist swirling in the wind coming\nfrom our hole. This encouraged us to get engrossed in some technical digging\nusing bolts in boulders and tied off knife blades as pulley points. Probably\nthe biggest waste of time so far.

We had\nthis large rock jammed in the hole we wanted to go down, so we used the\nsystem rigged up yesterday and pulled and pulled but it didn't move much.\nThen Mike had a good idea and eliminated the friction on the pulling rope.\nWith a quick pull we had it suspended above the hole, held only by a peg\npulling in the direction most likely to pull it out. Then it was chocked up\nand the pulleys rearranged so as to pull it out. The rock was put on the\nledge by the pitch where it trembled a bit, but was held by the rope so we\nfelt we could go down the pitch. Unfortunately, we found a spreader, a long\nenough rope and rigged the pitch. Ben was selected to go down. Going through\nthe hole, which is a bit small, it opens out into a superb enormous shaft,\nabout 20' in diameter, 55' deep. At the bottom, lots of different passages\nlead off, one which is pretty big and horizontal. There's also a good rift\nwhich still carries the draught. Its pretty fucking marvellous down there.\nMike came down after Ben had come back up. Ben.\n\n<br /><br /><a href=\"#id1978-107-2\">Previous dig</a>/\n<a href=\"#id1978-107-4\">Next trip</a>",

After\ngasping or something similar at the SIZE of it and the strong draught, we\nsplit into two exploring parties (there is a lot to explore). Anyway, after\nJohn had descended down 100 foot shaft in a rift section, and made enough\nnoise to attract attention to this fact, we all followed, finding one good\nnatural belay besides John's peg. At the foot of this impressive enlarged\ncanyon, we found another fine pitch (65') which offers several possible\nforward routes. A short traverse to the left leads to another large soaring\nshaft - which will be intensively explored tomorrow. Only a few loose\nboulders were discovered, generally by their rapid descent towards those at\nthe foot of the pitch - but none of us were much worried, still being too\nimpressed with the size of the place. Generally the rock seems to be pretty\ngood and clean and we haven't encountered closely any kind of dubious\nboulders.

Eventually we got to the big pitch\nwhich Andy descended first - it was COLOSSAL ! At the bottom, a couple of\nace natural belays got us down the next 10m pitch to the floor of Mega\nboulders. \n<br /><br />At first it appeared to be a big choke, but descending down dip\nand then climbing up vast piles of boulders, a roomy gallery - almost an\nexhibition hall of all the varieties of unstable boulder bridges - was\nfound. \n<br /><br />The explorer started a descent of the far side of the boulders under\na boulder estimated at 5000 tons, but waited for support from DHF.\nEventually found the obvious free climb down, but found it overhanging - so\nwent off for the bolting gear and rigged a short pitch down into the new\nchamber. From here a traverse and awkward climb down leads to a stream which\ngoes off to the left (not pushed very far). \n<br /><br />An additional tributary comes\nfrom a rift about 20' up and flows the same way. Between the two is an OFD\ntype passage ending in a drop into a rift and a possible (but not without a\nlifeline) continuation beyond. \n<br /><br />We rigged a natural belay for the start of\nthe rift (in a side rift to the left) and placed a bolt rebelay, but did not\ndescend further due to lack of time. Set off upward and soon got somewhat\nwarmer (despite the heavy water at the bottom of the 180') on the way up.\nEventually surfaced at a late hour (8.30 am !) after a 12 hour plus trip. \nAndy.

Walked to\n1623/41a (Stellerwegh&ouml;hle) which is very well concealed in Bunde. The\nphreatic-looking horizontal entrance led on into a hading rift and then to a\nhuge snowpile below another entrance. Below the snow, the rift is very\nextensive, and at about 45 degrees, but further on it gets a bit more\nvertical. \n<br /><br />The big pitch at the end is beyond a very nasty traverse through a\nwindow, so we couldn't see much, having brought no rope. On the way through\nand back, Karl kept looking under boulders and at one stage showed us a pile\nof bat bones, so we thought he was looking for bat remains, but when he\nfound what he was looking for it proved to be a small creature - little\nworms c &frac12; cm long which he collected with forceps. Eventually, we had\nfour, and left.\n<br /><br />On the way back, we passed various entrances, and did a short trip in\nElchh&ouml;hle (1623/31) which is a large phreatic tube in horizontally\nbedded rock, with lots of boulders. Karl again kept looking for bugs, despite\nhaving left his collecting gear at the entrance. Then he found a small beetle\nunder a rock at which he seemed most upset not to have his gear, so Doug\nrushed off to get it. When he returned, the beetle had escaped, so Karl was\ndismantling the cave to find it. Large rocks crunched and eventually the\nterrified beetle was collected - Karl was very pleased as it is only the\nsecond specimen of that species found in Austria. We exitted and had lunch at\nthe Loser H&uuml;tte before returning to camp and drowning the beetle in\nVodka.

"text": "<br /><br />Team Geriatric crawled up the hillside half a mile\nbehind the fast moving dust cloud that showed where team youth was burning\nup the miles. At the cave entrance, when they eventually got there, the\npensioners were heard to be talking about family responsibilities,\narthritis and other ploys for not going underground (one of them even had to\nbe lent a descender, having conveniently forgotten his own).\n<br /><br /> Marshalled\nbetween members of the Youth Team, the ancients were carefully fed down the\nentrance of the cave. A curious transformation came over them, a glazed\nexpression in their old eyes as though recalling distant memories of when\nthey too had discovered new glories. Down the first pitch, then the second,\nand the third, then along the traverse ; so far so good, their aged limbs\nhad stood up well to the strain. Now at the head of the next pitch they were\nsat down and told of hitherto undescended holes ahead of them. Then Team\nYouth vanished into the darkness to push into discoveries elsewhere.\n\n<br /><br />Left alone at last, the crones shook off their disguise of weariness.\nSwiftly they fixed a rope down the thirty foot pitch to a large floor of\nunstable boulders. One of them carried on to the bottom of the boulder choke\nwhile another was fixing a bolt at the top of the rift. Soon Rod was going\ndown the rift till he ran out of rope at about 70'. He called for another\nrope, tied it onto the end of the previous one and carried on down to the\nend of that one too. He ascended to a safe spot (The Sentry Box) and called\nthe others down. Dave, the last man down, took another 200' of rope with him\nto the bottom of the second rope. Here he placed another bolt, belayed the\nrope, and vanished off into a vast, dark hole. At one stage he was abseiling\ndown between the wall and a huge pinnacle, 30' high. The rope just reached\nthe floor. Here a stream appeared. He followed it down a descending rift\nuntil, after about 50' of descent, he came to a small pitch with possibly\nanother one beyond that.\n\n<br /><br />Dave prusiked back to where Rod and Vic had been waiting in the Sentry\nBox sharing both ends of a bar of Kendal Mint Cake at the same time since it\nwas too hard to break. From here the operation of getting out was a smooth\nwell-rehearsed exercise that they had done many times before. It took only\njust over the hour to get out onto the plateau where they were in time to\nenjoy the last few hours of sunshine.\n\n<br /><br />And Team Youth ? They came eventually, weary, dirty and dishevelled as\nusual. They had missed the sunshine. It was dark by the time they got\ndown. Team Geriatric had wined and dined and already gone to the pub.\n\n<br /><br /><a href=\"#id1978-107-7\">Previous trip</a>/\n<a href=\"#id1978-107-9\">Next trip</a>",

Underground by 7.40 am, a literal alpine\nstart. The familiar abseil descent took just over one hour to Hall of the\nGreene King, and then we slowed down, carrying gear from the overhanging\nboulder pitch to rig the freeclimb that was alleged to follow. \n<br /><br />Abseiling the\nnext pitch left large clods of mud on the descendeur and below, traversing\nstarted immediately, but ended at an inlet on the left. Andy tried for a\nlong way at stream level, but eventually jacked and climbed up to a ledge\nwhere Doug had a stinky gonk. Soon arrived at the really shitty pitch which\nmade a horrible mess on a rack. Not far to go now chaps - a final\nundescended pitch was reached and Andy went down to a ledge with almost no\nrope left. \n<br /><br />Lobbed rocks down the pitch - sounded like 10-15m to a muddy\nledge, but further out seemed a lot deeper; 30-50m ? Doug repeated the\nexercise and then we set off out, derigging.\n\n<br /><br />Carrying vast piles of muddy rope over the traversing section takes quite\na while and derigging each pitch was a serious delay. Doug's ascenders were\nslipping (nasty Petzls !) but we were soon back up the rift and got the\nrope, including the spare 75m length, into tackle bags and up to Hall of the\nGreene King. From here it was just an incredible slog out. Prusiking with a\nlarge tackle bag is really strenuous and Doug tackle-hauled his gear up the\nbig pitch.\n\n<br /><br />Andy reached the Taproom well ahead of Doug and waited halfway up the\nnext pitch, which, if we don't find a name for it soon will cause write-ups\nto be far too long, until Doug appeared below. As time was getting late,\nDoug dropped his gear and the pace increased, and so we reached the entrance\nby about 6.25 pm - Much relief. We were acutely aware of the effort of\nraising a Mega-bag 300m against its will : ie. knackered.

The Meisterplan failed and they had an\nhour's wait here due to gross slowness in prusiking with heavy tackle\nbags....however, I run ahead...\n\n<br /><br />Rod and I went down to the previous end. I surveyed the bottom passage\nwhile Rod put a bolt in, then I abseiled down. Not a pleasant abseil as I\nhad to stop, hang on the rope 100' down, tie the other rope on, pass the\nknot and carry on, hoping that the second rope reached the bottom. Due to\nour incredible efficiency in calculating the tackle needed, it did. Ice cold\nwater all down the pitch did not help either - nor the failure of both\nelectric and stinkie.\n\n<br /><br />Chap. II &quot;The End&quot;. Well, there is a big wide rift that ends in\na fairly conclusive choke sans draught. The water disappears down a rapidly\nlowering tight passage of the more sordid Yorkshire variety, which I followed\nto the limit of my patience (it got even smaller). Much relieved, I exitted,\ncollecting a chilly Rod on the way out, who did a hero's job with 60m of wet\n12mm Marlow up the 95m pitch.\n\n<br /><br />And all in 7 hours. Geriatrics rule OK ?

Leaving Ben to disappear and pollute yet another\nrecess with his yards of bog paper and other matter, John and myself\ncontinued resolutely down the narrow rift to derig the bottom ladders. This\nwas just about completed, and we were beginning to remark on the sheer\nefficiency of the operation when a small doubt began tp filter through\nJohn's cold-benumbed brain. Where was the hammer ? \n<br /><br />The pitch was hastily\nrerigged, hammer was retrieved, and derigging continued. Andy and Mike made\nan appearance on the ledge at the top of the 110' pitch and tackle hauling\nup the shaft was done, passing tackle on to Andy and Mike, to ferry up the\nrift. \n<br /><br />Most of the tackle was up the rift by the time that the whole cave was\nresounding with John's frustrated Yells and Screams, as he swore at carbide\nand tackle, stuck halfway up the rift with no lights. Tackle hauling\ncontinued apace, with Andy ferrying several times up the ninety foot,\noblivious of the horrendous and daunting wear in the middle of the rope,\nnoticed later by Ben. \n<br /><br />John, Andy and myself sneaked up out of the pot before\nBen and Mike had even realised that they had been left to deal with the\nremaining tackle at the bottom of the entrance pitch. While we enjoyed the\nwarm sunshine, Ben sweated and swore, emerging some hours later as the sun\nwas sinking.

Went down to top of big pitch where we split up; Dave\nwaiting at the pitch head and with me descending to derig the next couple of\npitches. Started out, derigging, bolt-greasing etc. as we went, and met Jont\njust below the Taproom. \n<br /><br />Started to stagger out now and met Vic and Rod on\nthe last pitch of last year (we ought to have a name for it, and if we\nhaven't already, then we'd better get thinking). Meanwhile, Doug had been in\nto the Taproom and exitted with a tockle bog (Full too !) A slow exit up\nPlugged Shaft with antics from Jont, his ascenders and his carbide lamp, and\nwith the Bluewater being as awkward as ever. Had to abandon the crowbar.\n\n<br /><br />Out after a trip of 7&frac12; hours (for me) and its really nice doing all\nthose pitches whilst being wide awake !\n\n<br /><br /><div class=\"timeug\">T/U 7.5 hours</div>.\n\n<br /><br /><a href=\"#id1978-76-13\">Previous trip</a>/\n<a href=\"../1979/log.htm#id1979-76-1\">Next trip</a>",
