2003 Expo priorities

The three primary goals for 2003 are:

• Razordance
• Gaffered to the Wall
• Eislufthöhle

The people principally responsible for organising each of these three parallel efforts will be:

There are also a number of auxilliary projects. These are largely intended for people to do on rest days, or if they don't feel like doing a big pitch series. Some of these are listed below; cf. the 204 QM list.

Pitch series (requiring bolting)

• Merry-Go-Round (Brian's pitches off Swings, QM 02-07 - rock quality not brilliant)
• Eleven Second Rattle (QM 01-38)
• Merry Fucking Christmas (QM 01-68) *
• 01-16A (off Boulder Coaster)
• (we're never going to run out of pitches!)

Horizontal stuff in Steinbrückenhöhle

• Possible continuation of Crowning Glory (01-10A) - pitch may have been bolted?
• Climb 01-79C and 01-78B (possible connection to Helter Skelter, nice one to tick off)
• Crawls off Treeumphant (00-16B to 00-26C)
• Crawls off main Swings & Roundabouts passage (01-74C to 01-95C)
• Attack Helter Skelter boulder choke (drafting, visible way on)
• Finish off Up at 45°

Other caves

• Hauchhöhle (has an undescended pitch, and lies above conjectured Kaninchenhöhle - Steinbrückenhöhle connection)
• Brauninghöhle (close to Eislufthöhle, several QMs)
• Prospecting for new entrances beyond the ridge to the northeast of Steinbrückenhöhle
• Artischockenhöhle (needs a surface survey and proper description)
• Lots of documentation and resurvey work to tie in loose ends

* The MFC tube comes out in the side of a large shaft which continues both up and down. This may connect with a doline on the surface almost directly above. If so, this would provide a seventh entrance to Steinbrückenhöhle, although this would not be of much use given the unpleasant nature of the crawl connecting it to the rest of the cave.
