<h2 align=center>Expo 2007 (Cambridge Austrian Cave Science Expedition): mission statement (76 surface list)</h2>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Gemshöhle area:</li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Explore the QMs at ~ -25m in <a href="../../1623/107.htm">Gemshöhle (107)</a> (description suggests non-draughting
|
|
chokes, survey suggests QMs, Waddington suggests thoroughly looked at!), and the ~-70m route to the Big Pitch for any
|
|
horizontal leads, as this is about the same level as Brave New World, and <100m
|
|
away.</li>
|
|
<li>Explore, survey and tag <a href="../../1623/83.htm">83</a> (specifically phreatic continuation beyond pitch).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="../../1623/157/157.htm">Pirat Schacht (157)</a>. Explored by
|
|
someone other than CUCC, and apparently only partially descended by CUCC.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>Eislufthöhle area:</li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Check surveys of <a href="../../1623/2004-01/index.html">2004-01 (bivi
|
|
cave)</a> vs <a href="../../1623/99/99.html">99</a> - the legs seem
|
|
misaligned in one or the other.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>"Batter Pot" is a potential entrance above Pancake Chips Aven in 76, which
|
|
might provide an easier route in to at least some of Brave New World. It
|
|
probably needs minor excavation work to make an easy entrance.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="../../1623/97.htm">Schneewindschacht (97)</a> probably deserves a revisit, due to its proximity to 76 and a phreatic level known to have a continuing traverse - the "not even mentioned as tight" part before the entrance
|
|
squeeze looks fun though!</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><s>Look at potential "back doors" into 97 - there are numerous holes
|
|
nearby.</s></li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="../../1623/105/105.html">105</a> lies very near 76 and on the
|
|
same fault system that the original 76 entrances are formed in. 105 is
|
|
probably just a ~40m blind shaft as the 1970s description says, but worth
|
|
shoving a rope down to verify.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="../../1623/104/104.html">104</a> is also pretty fairly near
|
|
76 and probably worth dropping to check and do a quick survey of.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Descend <a href="../../1623/2005-98/2005-98.html">Hanger Pot</a> with
|
|
full caving kit and later in the expedition to see if the snow plug is
|
|
passable. The "straight on" lead in the Boiling Tubes in Brave New World in 76
|
|
is heading for it.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Recheck draughting icy tube in <a
|
|
href="../../1623/2006-73.html">Ice Curtain Cave</a> with crampons or an ice
|
|
axe (probably best done late in expo).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Refind <a href="../../1623/2004-04/index.html">2004-04</a> and
|
|
<a href="../../1623/2004-09/index.html">2004-09</a>
|
|
and surface survey, and take photos.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>Bräuninghöhle area:</li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Look at possible phreatic passage at ~-55m in <a href="../../1623/82.htm">Bräuninghöhle (82)</a>, which corresponds roughly with the level of "Brave New World" in 76.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Find and tag <a href="../../1623/84.htm">84</a> (draughts, unexplored tube) and <a href="../../1623/86.htm">86</a> (almost certainly refound in 2006
|
|
since there's only one shaft in the area which seems to match the description
|
|
- no paint spotted yet though).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Survey and check out any missed leads in <a
|
|
href="../../1623/85/85.html">85</a> (~50m long, no rigging gear
|
|
apparently) and <a href="../../1623/81/81.html">81</a> (~15m long, no
|
|
rigging gear).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="../../1623/2006-70/2006-70.html">2006-70</a> needs a surface
|
|
survey and the pitch descending.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li><a href="../../1623/148/148.html">Marilyn Monroe Höhle (148)</a> is
|
|
described as ending at <i>"a steep ice-climb for which no equipment was
|
|
available"</i>. Also mentioned is a route which <i>"terminates in a steep ice
|
|
slope at the far side of the chamber"</i>. The cave has a good cold outward
|
|
draught, so a revisit with ice gear might be productive.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>Hit Lists:</li>
|
|
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Surface survey: <a href ="../../1623/102/102.html">102</a> to
|
|
101main or other nearby entrance.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Photograph: 83, 84, 86, 100, 160, 1987-02, 210 (done last year?)
|
|
</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Tag: 98, 111, 112, 2004-05, 2004-06.
|
|
</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<li>Miscellaneous:</li>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Survey (and surface survey to) the mysterious "+" cave <a
|
|
href="../../1623/2006-72/2006-72.html">2006-72</a> fairly near the Top Camp col.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Refind
|
|
<a href="../../1623/1999-OB-01/1999-OB-01.html">99-OB-01</a>
|
|
(tagged and photographed and bearings taken in 1999; not explored or
|
|
GPSed, and not found in a search in 2006).</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Try to refind <a href="../../1623/178.htm">178</a>. It was found
|
|
shortly after <a href="../../1623/177.htm">Tantalus Schacht (177)</a>
|
|
on the same prospecting walk. 177 has proved impossible to relocate,
|
|
but if 178 were found that might give us a better idea where to look.</li>
|
|
|
|
<li>Look for
|
|
<a href="../../1623/110.htm">110</a> - it's further out than
|
|
<a href="../../1623/111.htm">111</a> and
|
|
<a href="../../1623/112.htm">112</a>
|
|
which we found last year, and was found by the same people on the same surface
|
|
walk. However, we looked last year and there's a huge area it could
|
|
potentially be in so it may be a hopeless case.</li>
|
|
|
|
<!-- Dave's idea from 2006:
|
|
<li><a href="../../1623/171/171.html">171</a> needs a survey: it's apparently
|
|
>150m of just-below-surface passage with several skylights, but leaving
|
|
something this length unsurveyed is an embarrassment. Closer to top camp
|
|
than the 76 bivvy, so could be done by anyone.</li>
