Hi folks.
We need more people for this summer's Austrian Dachstein expedition. We'll be there for all of August but people come for as long or short a time as they can manage. The big cave we're pushing is 600m depth on the ropes until we reach a huge phreatic zone that drops us to the current depth of 760m. The cave is currently more than 5km long & we have some major leads heading off.
The campsite (at 700m depth) is permanently set up for 4 people but we'd like to give the place a damned good thrashing so would like to up the numbers to 6 people/camp for up to 5 days. For those who don't think they could cope with this we have decades-worth of other stuff to push, a glacier just up the mountain, via ferratas, climbing, stunning scenery, great company, and horrendous scope for ridiculous pub crawls to the various mountain huts on the range! And it's cheap: ?60 contribution to the project + your travel (sharing lifts in cars/vans or flying) & a few other bits & bobs. Reckon you could do a fortnight or a month for something around ?250, unless you're an alcoholic....
We normally expect about 25 -30 people of all levels of ability/motivation/experience/fitness but this year we're down to about 20 so please get in touch asap if you're interested. N.B, you need a sense of humour to put up with some of the twisted characters involved!
