<h2>161 Kaninchenhöhle: France to Triassic Park</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Overview</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>An extensive series of horizontal development at a similar altitude to the
|
||||
other major passages in Kaninchenhöhle, but quite a distance away from
|
||||
them. Most of this area is now best reached from the 161d entrance, and the
|
||||
same is true of the description. However, the main route from <a
|
||||
href="france.htm#france">France</a> to The Guillotine at the start of
|
||||
Triassic Park is described here. As the route in this direction is most
|
||||
likely to be used for a sporting through-trip rather than further
|
||||
exploration, references to side passages are kept to the minimum consistent
|
||||
with adequate description of the main route.
|
||||
|
||||
<a name="flatf"><h3>Flat France from France (1994-5)</h3></a>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>A short way (8m) down <a href="france.htm#sultans">Sultans of Swing,</a> a
|
||||
muddy ledge may be traversed around the continuing pitch to a wide passage.
|
||||
This is the start of <b>Flat France</b> - the generic name for all these
|
||||
linked horizontal passages. 20m along here (SE) is a wide T-junction. Left is
|
||||
<a href="offffr.htm#mmudpie">Mississippi Mud Pie</a>, whilst right is
|
||||
<b>Mississippi</b> itself.
|
||||
|
||||
<a name="misisip"><h4>Mississippi and Fudge Brownie (1994)</h4></a>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>This is about 150m of pebble-covered passage, which appears as a main way
|
||||
on meandering SSW, but ends in a pitch blocking progress before intersecting
|
||||
the main Triassic Park to Forbidden Land axis.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The first apparent side-passage, on the left (east) about 15m from
|
||||
Mississippi Mud Pie, is <a href="#fbrownie">Fudge Brownie,</a> the main way
|
||||
towards Triassic Park and the 161d entrance. A few metres beyond, on the
|
||||
right (west) side, is the entrance to a narrow tortuous passage,
|
||||
<a href="offffr.htm#mihemd">Mohr im Hemd,</a> leading to a chamber,
|
||||
<a href="offffr.htm#regurgitn">Regurgitation.</a>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>25m beyond the main way into Fudge Brownie, also on the right,
|
||||
is a second way in, rather more difficult of access.
|
||||
<a href="offffr.htm#misisip">Straight on in Mississippi</a>
|
||||
(treated now as a side passage) leads eventually to a pitch,
|
||||
<a href="offffr.htm#bsuspend"><b>Black Suspender</b></a>,
|
||||
which prevents this being a main route on.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a name="fbrownie"><b>The main way</b> branches off on the left</a> (east)
|
||||
side in Mississippi, a few metres before Mohr im Hemd, into <b>Fudge
|
||||
Brownie</b>, a slightly inclined passage, muddy further on, and very slippery
|
||||
everywhere. This can also be accessed (less easily) 25m further on down
|
||||
Mississippi. Fudge Brownie heads SE for 55m where the easiest way on
|
||||
(avoiding a difficult 3m climb) is through a stooping gloopy passage on the
|
||||
right (the bit that gives Fudge Brownie its name).
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a id="id13mcha">After 20m</a>, Fudge Brownie emerges at the NE side of a
|
||||
13m diameter chamber with several exits. The most important exit is the least
|
||||
obvious (of about seven, depending what you count). Immediately right (south)
|
||||
is the way to <a href="fbland.htm#rhorror">Rocky Horror</a>, and to the
|
||||
Forbidden Land. Stepping across a canyon leads into the centre of the
|
||||
chamber, with a second way south the other side of a rock pillar to the
|
||||
right. Here is another deep (3m+) canyon, partially obscured by rubble.
|
||||
Following this to the easternmost end leads you to a narrow exit coming out
|
||||
over a pitch after 2m. The traverse left over this leads to <b>French
|
||||
Revolution</b>.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Continuing along the bigger, left hand alternative in Fudge Brownie, in
|
||||
15m another junction is reached. Left here is 10m to a
|
||||
<a name="fbchoke"><b>boulder choke</b></a> coming out of an aven, thoroughly
|
||||
blocking the passage. The <a href="#bcunt">Brownie's Cunt</a> emerges about
|
||||
12m away on the other side of this choke. On the right at the junction is a
|
||||
short difficult climb up 3m to gain an easy walking passage which parallels
|
||||
the gloopy stooping bit of Fudge Brownie. About 10m beyond the climb, a small
|
||||
hole in the left hand (SE) wall connects to French Revolution, while just
|
||||
ahead emerges into the chamber at the start of the traverse left to the
|
||||
same place.
|
||||
|
||||
<a name="frev"><h3>French Revolution and the way to Triassic Park
|
||||
(1995)</h3></a>
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a name="bcunt">Over</a> the easy traverse left leads to a crouching
|
||||
passage, <b>French Revolution</b>. At floor level is the hole back into Fudge
|
||||
Brownie. A few metres along, French Revolution splits into three. The left
|
||||
passage goes up a small climb (c1) to a squeeze (now enlarged by the removal
|
||||
of some rocks), <b>Brownie's Cunt</b>.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a href="l/bcunt.htm"><img alt="Brownie's Cunt Photo" align=bottom

|
||||
|
||||
<p><a name="zombie">This</a> debouches immediately in the side of <b>Zombie
|
||||
Slime</b>, a bigger (3m wide) passage. The two right passages from French
|
||||
Revolution join again quickly and connect to Zombie Slime orally only after
|
||||
some flat out wriggling.

||||

|

<p>Left in Zombie Slime leads only 6m to the other side of a <a
|
||||
href="#fbchoke">choke</a> blocking a passage in Fudge Brownie (audible
|
||||
connection). Right leads along stooping and then walking passage to a wide
|
||||
three way <a href="offffr.htm#zs3way">junction</a>. The main way (keep left)
|
||||
leads to a chamber, with three more exits. Right is the way on.

|

climb (ladder useful<!-- a href="../../fixaid.htm#zstosp">left rigged</a -->)
|

is a hole which leads to a huge space, <b>Staud'nwirt Palace</b>. The way
|
||||
through this curves left (round to the north).
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a name="slc">Wandering</a> along from the Palace is a beautiful
|
||||
white-floored passage, <b>Salt Lake City</b>, and lots of batshit (!? - a

first for KH). This is 7-10m wide and windy!

|
||||
|

<p>Salt Lake City curves right to a junction. Straight on goes NE as <b>the
|
||||
Guillotine</b> to the start of an even bigger passage (hard to see far side)
|
||||
<a href="triasp.htm#triasp"><b>Triassic Park</b></a>. To the right, a

powerful outward draught (in summer) shows <a href="tptosf.htm#critend">the
|

way to the 161d</a> (Scarface) entrance.
