After five years of exploration on the Loser Plateau, 1981 will see a very different team of "Intrepid Speleos" in Austria. It thus seems a suitable time to recap all the "holes" investigated in the last five years. Most but not all of the following, have been mentioned in previous journals.
| Fledermaushöhle | -20m: entrance crawl down twisting shaft to shattered end. | 1976 |
| B11 | -55m: shaft in clint, choked | 1976 |
| 80 | -14m: descent, choked. | (survey) 1977 |
| 81 | short horizontal passage ends quickly. | (survey) 1977 |
| 82 Brauninghöhle | -215m ends in sump. 60m pitch appears to but enters further 15m pitch after which the cave is again more spacious. Water appears at -75m. | (survey) 1977 |
| 83 | -55m: ends in boulder strewn floor. | (survey) 1977 |
| 84 | draughting tube not pushed to an end. | (survey) 1977 |
| 85 | -50m: free climb to an impenetrable fissure. | (survey) 1977 |
| 86 | -25m: snow plugged rift. | (survey) 1977 |
| 87 | -110m: ends in a large chamber. | 1980 |
| 88 | ||
| 89 | -25m: choked rift. | 1979 |
| 90 | -20m: choked rift. | 1977 |
| 91 | -20m: choked rift. | 1977 |
| 92 | -90m: very loose, ends in a choke. | (survey) 1977 |
| 93 | -35m: long rift chokes. | 1977 |
| 94 | -35m: spiralling free climb, chokes. | 1977 |
| 95 | -10m: free climb down to an unpromising tube. | 1977 |
| 96 | -105m: apparent end in small chamber may be bypassed by small rift down muddy climbs to sump. Air current detectable from inaccessible slot above sump. | (survey) 1977 |
| 97 Schneewindschacht | -265m: narrow draughting entrance leads to stepped series of pitches to -190m. Then briefly horizontal, abandoned phreas could not be traversed over to. Water followed climbs into impenetrable fissure by which time the draught had vanished. | (survey) 1977 |
| 98 | -47m: 25m pitch to a small chamber, 17m pitch to a solid floor. | 1978 |
| 99 | -30m: entrance close to 106, spiralling shaft probably connects to 106, not concluded. | 1979 |
| 100 | -15m: shaft ending in a tight wet crack. | 1977 |
| 101 | -35m: meandering phreatic passages choke. | 1977 |
| 102 | -20m: snow plugged shaft. | 1977 |
| 103 | -30m: tight shaft to choke. | 1977 |
| 104 | -30m: choked shaft. | 1977 |
| 105 | -41m: shaft ends at flat gravel floor. | 1977 |
| 106 Eislufthöhle | -506m: a noticeably cooler microclimate signalled entrance in lapiaz, horizontal draughting tube leads to a series of pitches down to a sump. | (surv) 1977-9 |
| 107 Gemsehöhle | -280m: draughting entrance dig led to an abandoned phreatic section followed by a series of pitches down to a rift choke, no way on could be found. | (survey) 1978 |
| 108 | horizontal entrance to a large chamber with narrow rift dropping away, probably joins 41. | 1980 |
| 109 | 1980 | |
| 110 | insignificant entrance with icy draught leads to a drop and horizontal passage ending in a choke. | (survey) 1978 |
| 111 | 1980 | |
| 112 | 1980 | |
| 113 Sonnenstrahlhöhle | -330m: impressive open entrance pitch leads to hrizontal route along hading rift through chambers at two levels before a series of pitches appears to end. An insignificant tube leads to further series of pitches to another abandoned phreatic level. Stream continues down rift, not concluded. | (survey) 1980 |
| 114 | 1980 | |
| 115 | ?m digging in railway tunnel entrance in the side of a valley led to an abandoned phreatic system reaching vertical section when time ran out. | (survey) 1980 |
| 41 Stellerweghöhle | -350m: an alternative route was followed in this cave found by the Germans, again following horizontal route across hading rift before descending series of pitches. Not concluded. | (survey) 1980 |
