<div class="triptitle">Anfängerglückhöhle - There's a first time for everything...</div>
Another day at top camp meant another trip into Anfängerglückhöhle (formerly known as Popperhöhle). Mercifully, we went underground today much earlier at a sprightly time of 11am. The plan of action today was to explore some of the pitches along the horizontal high-level tube above the pitch Ned spent most of his energy yesterday bolting. There were three pitches of varying prospects, we decided we would first descend the pitch at the end of the horizontal passage. As Ned first spent a while improving the traverse, me and Ella began surveying with Dylan's SAP, which he had left in Austria for us.
<p>
Incidentally, this trip was a true changing of the guard, as the original explorers had now left expo and it was over to me, Ned and Ella to make the fabled connection to KH. I had never surveyed in a cave before, and everything was going very well until the second leg, at which point the SAP announced "MAGNETIC ANOMALY - IRON NEAR". After various discussions about how magnetic Austrian caves were, we decided to solve the problem by turning off the warning altogether, and blissfully surveyed away. Hopefully next time we are back I can resurvey this section with a recalibrated SAP.
<p>
Next, we proceeded to bolt the continuing pitch, and as Ella hadn't bolted in a cave yet she was deemed the prefect candidate, being taught by Ned who by then had a solid two days of underground bolting to his name. The first pitch was tight, but eventually widened out to a large chamber with huge boulders on the floor acting as a landing pad. Going down the slope, great excitement was felt when a further huge pitch was discovered. We decided the cut the previous rope so we'd have just enough to rig this pitch. Finally, at the bottom we were treated to some magnificent fossilized remains in the avens walls, and Ned even spotted a completely whole ammonite shell. At the bottom of this aven, there was a meandering streamway which went upstream a shortway, however the way on was clearly down the vadose section beneath the phreatic passage. With no rope and limited time, we headed out confident that at this point this cave had to somehow connect to KH, which was later found to be only 24m away horizontally!
