Zombie Caving 11-28-09
#1
Offroadaz (Chris), Silversides (Jonathan), and I went up North Friday and scouted around, camped (20°), then went underground Saturday.
We hiked around most of the first day and checked out a few holes. That evening we cooked and played pinecone baseball around the fire. We went in a large cave in the morning that had many barriers that needed to be reassembled when were finished to keep debris out of the tunnels. There's a big part of caving that is conservation and protocals like that keep the caves around for future explorers.
There was free climbing around big drops, tight twisting squeezes, large rooms and some great structures on this trip. Jonathan went the farthest, crawling on his stomach for 100yds down a long corridor. Waiting behind sucked sometimes because the cave air was around 50°. Getting back out of one of the lower sections was tough without rope, involving a horizontal slot climb, then a chest to back squeeze slither diagonally up with a large open pit on your left. Once again teamwork abounded and we all made it back topside.
