That brings back memories, before I broke myself headbutting a semi, I was mad on caving and there are some of the country's deepest just up the road.
In my younger days, I did caving for about 12 years. Saw alot if interesting things.... Did a fair amount of repelling and rope climbing.That brings back memories, before I broke myself headbutting a semi, I was mad on caving and there are some of the country's deepest just up the road.
I remember guiding a university survey group to map one, we had to grovel for over 600m to get to the main descent dragging shitloads of gear including 90m of ladder because one of the surveyors refused to use ascenders.
I prefer prussicking myself, much easier to carry.
It turned out to be well worth the effort, what she didn't know about caves is probably irrelevant or wrong and I learned more about cave morphology(her doctoral speciality) from talking to her that trip than before or since.

I dropped my camera about 30 seconds after taking this and broke off the rewind lever so I didn't get shots of the main chamber, which was huge. There was a rock the size of a small house on the floor and a corresponding hole in the roof, would have been a rather brown moment to be in there to see that fall happen.
As well as surveying and mapping, they also excavated the creekbed on the floor at our deepest point and took sediment samples. Pollen found was carbon dated and determined an approximate age of 750,000 years.
Hey, sometimes a truck's just gotta pee.
Did you ever do any rundown abseiling?In my younger days, I did caving for about 12 years. Saw alot if interesting things.... Did a fair amount of repelling and rope climbing.

Back in college, about 1975, my buddy and I snuck up to the top of the 14 story girls dorm and rappelled down the front of it. Security and and a nice crowd were waiting for us when we touched down. Two quarters of probation, but didn't get expelled..... At least it wasn't "double secret probation"Did you ever do any rundown abseiling?
A mate was an SAS medic and got me into it, you have your figure 8 on the back of the harness.
If that gets old you can try what he called a "mad" rundown.
You gather as much slack as you dare take a running jump off the edge and brake as late as possible.
The pic is him just hitting the brakes after free falling about 30m. We used double 10mm rope for less stretch.

Aah, nothing a little duct tape and two new tires won't fix. Man, those bears have a serious sense of entitlement.I've never seen a Bear eat a Plane.
We tried that on a three story sorority house using the fire escape.

On the contrary, when you're dry caving you can go anywhere you can squeeze your body into, as in the gif to which i responded.Meh, dry caves are boring.
And the boss would be like: You're drunk...Take the day off.
Fuk off, it is my day off asshole...You called me ON MY OFF DAY. Now, if you want to renegotiate our contract and have me be on call... Let's talk, I'm 10K a day. No. Ok, see you Monday.And the boss would be like: You're drunk...Take the day off.
Look out for Floyd Collins on the nylon highwayOn the contrary, when you're dry caving you can go anywhere you can squeeze your body into, as in the gif to which i responded.
Having to drag a load of bombs around with you, and being so drastically limited in your exploration possibilities by that, is boring.
But it takes all sorts old mate, enjoy the nether regions any way you choose, just don't go chasing Dave Shaw, eh?
Bears be like....Aah, nothing a little duct tape and two new tires won't fix. Man, those bears have a serious sense of entitlement.

Apparently we weren't the first ones to have tried it.
