<h2>Stellerweghöhle Question mark list</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>An attempt has been made to classify these chronologically, so that the
|
|
numbering of newly found QMs can start from 1 each year, and no QM ever
|
|
changes its number. Prefix X0000-41- indicates deduced pre-CUCC QM. Leads
|
|
found by CUCC are prefixed C<year>-41- under the system introduced
|
|
in 1999.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Key:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li> <b>A</b> very good, go for it.</li>
|
|
<li> <b>B</b> needs effort, or less promising</li>
|
|
<li> <b>C</b> hard to reach (bolting etc.), or very unpromising</li>
|
|
<li> <b>?</b> quality unknown - poorly documented</li>
|
|
<li> <b>!</b> may not exist, or may be multiple - guess from sketches</li>
|
|
<li> <b>X</b> has now been pushed - may be ref. into description.</li>
|
|
<li> <b>*</b> allegedly pushed, but needs another look or survey</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>Probably seriously incomplete, especially for 1983-85.</p>

before 115 main passage, when coming from 41, mentioned in Journal, and quite clear on both sketch grade 1 of whole of this level and the grade 5 notes. <!-- at 41.Bypass.pt1.54 --> This is a genuine QM. *Unless* its the <a href="off115.htm#pboxbow">steeply rising tube</a> which loops back.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Some of these QMs are rather spurious - they only existed for a few days
|
|
during expo at most. On the other hand, the original survey notes are showing
|
|
up some more QMs, not yet formally in the list:</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Hole down to sound of water at second junction with passage leading to
|
|
Cairn Junction <!-- 41.Bypass.pt1.41 --><br />
|
|
Hole to sound of water in Bypass well before Junction Chamber
|
|
<!-- 41.Bypass.pt1.39 --></p>
|
|
|
|
<p>There may be other QMs here - the descriptions/survey from each end (41
|
|
and 115) don't quite gel. We don't have the UBSS survey data for this
|
|
connection area, and once the main way on was open, this area was never
|
|
looked at again.</p>

the pitch and the Big Chamber - "all" surveying done 1983. Properly called

|
1623/142, but may be 1623/115g in Austrian's books... There are stupid
|
|
numbers of QMs in here, all of which will probably link together. The
|
|
"survey" shows at least 31 QMs which must have been seen in 1982, and
|
|
fifteen more for 1983, but the sketching I have (which looks nothing like
|
|
the drawn up survey) suggests as many again. I am only including ones
|
|
mentioned in the description. Some of them may need turning into multiple
|
|
QMs.</p>

|
<p>There is a suspicion that the passages of <a href="#C1982-142-22">C1982-142-22</a> have reached the German Route</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>1983 QMs are very vague 'cos the survey is so crap. There are also a few
|
|
QMs from 84, and I haven't even vaguely put in the QMs in 1623/144, of which
|
|
there are quite a large number, which belong here since the cave connects
|
|
(the linking-in point is <a href="#C1980-41-33">C1980-41-33</a>, which should have been a 1980 QM, but can't tell if it was actually noticed that year).</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>I count over 80 of those QM's as having no described continuation. Several
|
|
of these are groups of ways on which may or may not go to the same place. No
|
|
doubt some of these have been looked at, but not written up or surveyed. Most
|
|
of those will be fairly short. Equally, I suspect that quite a lot will have
|
|
been missed on the surveys, which would bring the numbers back up again.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>A large proportion of these QMs can be reached without ANY rigging of
|
|
existing pitches. The survey of 142 is/was a shambles, and needs, at the
|
|
very least, someone to go in and do a lot of sketching, simply to tie down
|
|
what has been looked at. The more I think about it, the more I believe that
|
|
the shaft at the end of the German Route alleged to be 220m must have been a
|
|
way into the Big Pitch, and not what CUCC pushed in 1980. We have no
|
|
adequate survey of the German route, which would be handy to have (at least
|
|
for that part which doesn't need rigging), as we could then see if the QMs
|
|
in 142 and the CUCC route in 41 do indeed reach the German Route.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Initial impressions are that the further from the entrance a QM was, the
|
|
more likely it is to have been pushed (unlike 161 :-). This may simply mean
|
|
that people were less observant and less careful to note QMs lower down.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>CUCC does now have survey data and a published plan, showing where
|
|
1623/88 (Lärchenhöhle) connects to the big pitch. However, we
|
|
haven't yet generated any kind of passage description.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The QM situation in 142 is such that a chronological numbering is getting
|
|
silly. It may be impossible to identify the numbered QMs "in the
|
|
cave", in which case the thing to do is to delete that QM, and number
|
|
all new ones with C2000-142- (or whatever year it is) numbers.</p>
