Caving Kaninchenhoehle

November 7th, 2010

Hi extreme Cave seekers!
Yesterday Martin, Joachim, Christoph, Gregor and me we drove to Altausee to the Loser for exploring the Kaninchenhoehle. first i had to cow the car from christoph because his car ran out of gasoline. that was a good start to wake up in the morning (5am). but with our ropes in the trunk we were possible to reach the next gas station with a speed of 60km/h 😉 …
We needed one and a half hour to the entrance from the parking lot. we took the 161d entrance which is not so easy to reach because of the mountain pine zone(its only 3metres to go! 😉
30m’s after the entrance we saw a black bat hang around on the side wall in mothshag. we could not identify it because we are not really big bat men…
then we had to climb and crawl very narrow gangways and we had to take care of the muddy stone blocks when we crossed them. so one fault and you will have big problems for sure!

we saw here really amazing stalgtites curtains – wonderful! nevertheless we reached then our goal for this day the knossos chamber which is a really great hall inside this cave with 50ms diameter. we had to abseil to this hall in a 20m pitch. there was one really great looking but very dangerous wedge block which will fall downwards in the direction where we had to abseil. we recognized this when we had to climb up this back.
we did some nice photos at the star wars section and then we went to the waterfall chamber where my digicam suddenly fallen down 8m because it was on a steep and narrow place. we climbed down beside the big block and could only grab the destroyed digicam. Shit happens! bette the camera got destroyed than me. but that was a good sign too to get a new camera 😉
we walked 1100m inside the cave on direction -thats far for a one day trip!

so we went back to the entrance and reached the entrance at 4pm. that was important to reach the karl stöger steig in the daylight otherwise we could have get really big orientation problems in the mountain pine zone… at 7pm we reached the parking lot at the loser alm one of us suffered from a hypocylycaemic episode. but with a power gel and some apples we managed this problem too. at the parking lot we drank the most important beer forever…;)
so thanks a lot for this great weekend. it was a pleasure to walk in such beautiful nature with well committed people. big up!

Scuba diving Enns in Kastenreith

October 17th, 2010

Hi extreme relaxing divers 😉
Yesterday Aichinger Thomas from Unterwasserfoto.at and me we drove to kastenreith near weyer and did a 40min’s dive in the 8°C cold enns river.
The spot there is really exciting because of some old war relicts what you can find unterwater! we could find an old lorry and some explosive bodys and the rest of a rifle and many other nice rock canyons and some fishes.
Have a look to the video!
After the diving i had to jump from the bridge for getting some adrenaline shot 😉
thx for the great relaxing scuba dive.
you can imagine that we had to drink some electrolyte to fill up our dehydrated body…
cya on the water or in the air – depends on the weather conditions!

Speed Flying Grosser Pyhrgas (2244m)

October 16th, 2010

Hi fog addicted Speed Junkies!
Last Thursday Patrik and me we drove to Spital am Pyhrn and hiked up to the Grosser Pyhrgas (2244m above sealevel).
In the valley there was a lot of clouds to see, but when we arrived aboud 1800m height we had a really amazing view over the bottom clouds. What a nice evening.
Then we thought twice if we should fly thru the fog. We came to the point that the fog has only 200m’s of height so: Beat it!
By the way, such no visibility flights are forbidden!! so don’t try this at home baby’s!
Look to the video, then you can imagine the great flight.
Thx for the wonderful nice autumn evening!

Caving Schwarzmooskogeleishoehle

October 10th, 2010

Hi Cave Seekers!
Yesterday, Mathias, Jonathan and me we drove to Altausee to the Loser for Caving the Schwarzmooskogeleishöhle.
We slept near the Car outside with our sleeping bag. What a wonderful clear stars night.
This day we stood up early in the morning and walkd 1:45 hrs to the entrance Elefanteneingang from the Schwarmooskogeleishöhle.
We had a nice narrow entrance into this wonderful cave.
After some ice climbing we went to the schneevulkanhalle. thats the bigged ice hall from europe. what a big delay.
Then we were happy to had a really great phenomen.
between 10:40 and about 11:00 the sunlight came into the hall over the elefanteneingang and we needed no lamp for this big cave.
What a nice mood.
Then we walked little bit further an icewall upwards and than little bit downwards until there was too much water, where you need some neopren suit to cross this passage.
at 2pm we walked back to the car.
Then i ran up to the Loser and had some really great speedflying down to altaussee.
Thx for this great weekend.
Autumn can be so fine.

Speedflying Kleiner Priel

October 2nd, 2010

Hi Speedflyers and Skyrunners!
This wonderful autumn day Patrik, Harry and me we drove to Hinterstoder and hiked up 2 times to the Kleiner Priel (2136m) for Speedflying with our Gin Yak and Nervoures Swoop.
First there was some Fog in the Valley, but after 30min we could blow away the fog with our positive vibrations 😉
The wind comes from west to southwest – little bit strange.
The launching of the speedflyer was a little bit tricky because of some sidewind conditons.
Patrik found a nice line down to Hinterstoder -Big Respect!
Thx for the great day!
