Cave 2003-09 - Exploring + Surveying Olly's Höhle (2003-09)
Olly Madge
Went to look at hole I discovered with Dave and Earl before the
dinner. It blows very hard, so we thought it must go somewhere.
Surface surveyed to 204d first, then we crawled into the passage on
the right of the entrance, where the draught was coming from. (Earl
and I had previously cleared rocks from it to allow entry.) After a
crawl the passage opens up with scatterings of ice and snow. A
passage goes up to the left as the main way on turns a corner. It
enters a large (> 10m diameter) chamber with an ice floor, and
an ice stal on the floor. There is some passage with dodgy boulders
to the right, but the draught comes from a very dodgy boulder slope
on the left (reached by climbing round the edge of the ice). Might
be worth poking, but it's quite unstable. We looked up the passage
on the left but it doesn't seem to go anywhere. (Maybe a tightish
meander in the floor might go (blows outwards a bit), but awkward
to enter. QM C.) About 100m of survey in total.
