Schwarzmooskogelhöhle Question Mark list
(Last update after 2000 Arge pre-expo trip)
Note that this list currently only includes question marks found or
noted by CUCC (which have a "C" prefix), or ARGE (which have an "A" prefix). Those found by CUCC leading on from our own new passage are tagged
with the year of discovery, whilst those noted in existing explored
passage are tagged with a four-zeroes prefix. Some of these are
undoubtedly known passage, one of which inevitably turned out to be the
main way to the "old" system and Altausseerhalle.
In general, an unpushed QM will have a link from its QM number in the
description to here, and a link from here to the relevant point in the
description. Note that links into the description of the "old cave" will
enter the password-protected part of the site.
Quality Grades:
- A
- A fine QM - git down there and look.
- B
- Not so promising, or requiring some effort (eg. a climb)
- C
- Pretty cruddy, or good but very hard to get to.
- X
- A high, wet or unsafe-looking aven unlikely to be climbed
- ?
- No-one writing this list actually knows!
Note that the quality grades are assigned by the explorers at the time,
and that subsequent discoveries may mean that the grade is optimistic, since
the lead may now drop into passage which wasn't then explored. Also,
different explorers have different ideas - one man's "A-lead" may be
another's "C-lead" :-( Such inconsistency tends to be greatest in caves
explored by many people over a long period, so shouldn't yet be too bad here.
