This year's aims are to continue pushing leads from Balkonhöhle,
+Fischgesicht and maybe Homecoming.
+

Overview - Homecoming Hole (359),
+Tunnocks (258) and Balkonhöhle (264) - credit Nat Dalton
+
+
Balkonhöhle (264): many promising leads at multiple levels, allowing for +meaningful exploration to be done by cavers of varying abilities. Medusa's Maze is a particularly exciting lead taking +the SMK system into an area not traditionally explored by this expedition. Additionally, the system connects the +previously explored Tunnocks system at convenient points (on the right of the map above) to push leads remaining there, +allowing us to explore unfinished areas of Tunnocks without rigging the previous route, which was flood-prone. Big Lad +chamber is in Balkonhöhle is much deeper than the nearer parts of 359 and +290. + +
Fischgesicht (290): The entrance was blocked by snow in 2019 and could not be +excavated. Leads from 2018 are still yet to be explored including a 20x20 m large phreatic tunnel with strong draught +leading in direction of the rest of SMK left unexplored at the opposite side of a 40 m pitch. It is also likely to +connect to another significant find from 2017, Glucklich Schmetterlingerhöhle ('Happy +Butterfly Cave'; 291,), adding length to the system. + +
Second Camp: An objective for this year is to establish a second top camp known as "Garlic Cave" (not marked on these maps), which is +located further west than Stone bridge (Steinbrücke 204), as a base for those exploring Homecoming Hole and Fischgesicht. + +
Homecoming Hole (359): discovered in 2018 at the western extent of our +current area. This is planned to be the focus of further expeditions, but if resources allow this cave will be pushed in +2022. + +
The overview Schwartzmooskögl (SMK) system map (above) +shows where 359 and 290 are in relation to Steinbrückenhöhle top camp (204), Balkonhöhle entrance +(264), Tunnoschacht (258) and the Loser Alm road-head restaurant and carpark. + +
Top camp bivouac site is at Steinbrücke (204). + +
