From 1904 to 1928, Kauschka did much climbing, starting with the Jizera mountains, including being the first to climb Zvon (a famous local rock tower) in 1921. He later climbed the Lusatian and Zittauer (part of the Breiteberg chain) mountains, Bohemian Paradise (the first ascent on Draci zub in 1906) and Saxon Switzerland (Blocksstockes). He was also in the Alps, the Dolomites (1907 - climbing the Vajolet Towers solo without a rope), Ortler (1908 - Königspitze in German), and Wallis Alps (1928 - Matterhorn, Mont Blanc).
