<h2>Kaninchenhöhle: Triassic Park to Scarface (161d)</h2>
|
||||
|
||||
<h3>Overview</h3>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>The opening up of the 161d (Scarface) entrance in 1995 permitted much
|
||||
easier exploration of the extensive Triassic Park trunk passage and
|
||||
its ramifications. It also opened the way for a variety of through
|
||||
trips from the upper entrances, or even from the entrances explored
|
||||
in 1996 from Puerile Humour series, 161e and 161f. In view of this,
|
||||
and the fact that it was originally explored from the inside of the
|
||||
cave, this page describes the exit from Triassic Park to the surface.
|
||||
|
||||
<a name="critend"><h3>The exit passages</h3></a>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>From France, <a href="tptofr.htm#slc">Salt Lake City</a> ends in a brief
|
||||
low section, emerging at a T-junction. Left is the Guillotine, coming from
|
||||
<a href="triasp.htm#tpstart">Triassic Park</a> just a short way to the
|
||||
northeast. Turning right from Salt Lake City, or straight on from the
|
||||
Guillotine, <b>Critters' End</b> carries a strong draught (towards the
|
||||
entrance in summer).
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Immediately on entry, Critters' End turns left (SE towards the valley
|
||||
outside). Twenty five metres on, at a right hand corner, part of the draught
|
||||
turns left into the original route of exploration. Ignoring this, Critters'
|
||||
End jogs left again, and more of the draught turns up a second, but easier,
|
||||
passage on the left. Straight on, the "main" passage chokes within 45m.
|
||||

||||

|
||||
|
||||
<p>Both of the left turns go to the same place, joining up as <b>Perseverance
|
||||
Passage</b>, quickly becoming walking sized again. On the right, the original
|
||||
way of discovery is very tight, but keeping left, <b>Slidy Caver</b> is a low
|
||||
dug passage up a steep slope of loose stones. This will undoubtedly become
|
||||
easier with the passage of more caving traffic. At the top of the slope is a
|
||||
T-junction. Right was the original route, whilst left drops down some
|
||||
boulders into the chamber of <b>Mothshag</b>.
|
||||
|
||||
<p><a id="id161d">A 2m climb</a>, still following the draught, leads to
|
||||
mainly stooping passage for 25m, turning south and emerging over scree under
|
||||
the low arch of the 161d entrance, which funnels the draught into a stream
|
||||
powerful enough to hold up a fleece jacket:

|
||||
|
||||
<p>At this point, the explorer who has not come in this way may find the
|
||||
location very unfamiliar. You are on a steep hillside with much recent
|
||||
rockfall. Down in the valley below is the main 201 path over Hochklapf
|
||||
Sattel, but from here this is difficult to reach. If reached, it is still a
|
||||
long walk (going right as seen from 161d) back to the Bergrestaurant and car
|
||||
park.
|
||||
|
||||
<p>Up the steep hillside from this point is the col on the Schwarzmooskogel
|
||||
ridge where are found the upper entrances to Kaninchenhöhle. The best
|
||||
way back is to gain this col. Initially, scrambly progress is made up and
|
||||
left on the recent talus, until a short rope climb enables access to be
|
||||
gained to a traverse going left. A section through dwarf pine is awkward,
|
||||
though unmistakeable, and soon leads to a cairned route into a gully below
|
||||
the col. There is a choice of routes up here, generally following the line of
|
||||
the gully - handline climbs are needed on one alternative, but a little
|
||||
searching soon reveals a fairly straightforward route. However, the way is
|
||||
steep and can be treacherous after rain, so good weather and plenty of
|
||||
daylight are recommended if you have not used the route before.
