There are many posts about the Nutty Putty Cave incident, so I thought I'd post this lesser known story that is also very chilling.
Not near a chilling.

He went out fighting.... and not armed penned head first upside down... like a dirty dauber does to a spider.

My favorite part of caving is that I don't have to do it.

I'm getting jittery and cramped up just reading a couple posts and seeing the thumb nail of that video. No desire to get stuck in a tiny crack in the rocks. Zero

There is a very good book about a nearby cave, Krubera, which is the second deapest cave. At the time the book was written, it was thought to be the deepest. They also talk about Cheve Cave in Mexico. It's a fun read. I'm not a caver, so it was interesting to learn about their explorations of these places, the technology they developed, the time it takes, and the fricking brass balls it takes to do it.

There were likely many ways to ascend with what he had... from a carabiner brake to many generations old (and very simple) hand tied prussics.
