ClaustrophobiaThat must of been a real adrenaline rush. Pretty far out but I wouldn't do it.

Re: ClaustrophobiaNot so much an adrenaline rush as complete slow terror. That's the thing about caving; it puts you in a position where you simply _have_ to deal and work through the problem. There is no other alternative. A little claustrophobia is a good thing sometimes.

30 feet!!I've done a very short section that was pretty tight, but 30 friggin feet with a 10" squeeze--that's unbelievable!

Re: 30 feet!!Yeah, did I mention it was slightly uphill on the way back? That's the problem, once you get through, you have to get through _again_. I no longer go through squeezes where you have to exhale all the way to fit the tightest parts.

yes!That's the stuff i love! I worked at Wind Cave National park for two years and found some nice tight stuff.

Re: yes!Actually, that's the stuff I hate! When it comes to caving, I'm definitely a monkey-boy, not a squeeze freak or mud puppy (previous photos of mine notwithstanding). Haven't done any caving recently, but for a long time it was my life.

You are nuts.No way in hell would I try that (nor would I fit!). Very cool though.

So......imagine being the first one ever having done it here - not knowing if you'd get stuck or be able to turn around...

Re: So...Well, it's a little less unbelievable knowing the first guy who did it. He's about 110# soaking wet and could probably go through that thing on hands and knees! He's also certifiably nuts... definite a plus in cavers ;-)
