<h1>Far plateau to <span lang="de-at">Grieß Kogel</span> and
|
|
<span lang="de-at">Augst-Eck</span></h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>Beyond the comparatively accessible area of plateau just over the
|
|
<span lang="de-at">Schwarzmoossattel,</span> explored by CUCC, lies a vast
|
|
area of limestone karren and dwarf spruce. Exploration is deterred by the
|
|
lack of paths, almost complete absence of water supplies and possible places
|
|
to camp and just general inaccessibility - there is still plenty of cave to
|
|
find nearer to Top Camp.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>CUCC have gone beyond their normal stomping ground on just one walk,
|
|
approaching from the <span lang="de-at">Schwarzmoossattel</span> and finding
|
|
the caves numbered 108 and 110. An area right at the far edge of the 1623
|
|
area, described as "SE face of <span lang="de-at">Kleines Augst-Eck",</span>
|
|
may prove to mean the SE face of <span lang="de-at">Nieder Augst-Eck,</span>
|
|
which should be included in the
|
|
<a href="wilden.html"><span lang="de-at">Schwarzmooskogel</span> to
|
|
<span lang="de-at">Wildensee</span></a> area, but this is sufficently
|
|
uncertain that we treat it here.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Lancaster University Speleological Society held two expeditions (in 1987
|
|
and 1988) into an area on the very northern edge of 1623, and most caves they
|
|
found were in the adjoining 1626 area. The approach to this area around
|
|
<span lang="de-at">Roßkogel</span> was from the
|
|
<span lang="de-at">Wildenseehütte,</span> after a long approach on foot
|
|
from <span lang="de-at">Grundlsee.</span> LUSS produced good printed reports
|
|
for each of their trips, and details are included of those finds which appear
|
|
to be south of the rather ill-defined 1623/1626 "border".</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>The University of Bristol Speleological Society also held two small
|
|
expeditions (in 1989 and 1990) into an area near the LUSS one. Unlike LUSS,
|
|
they did not contact any member of CUCC (or, as far as we are aware, any of
|
|
the Austrian cavers) for information, nor have we been able to obtain many
|
|
details of their finds. However, Dan Harries sent a copy of their report on
|
|
BS17, whose description is included here.</p>
