This past weekend the staff from Mountain Alliance got together for an adventure. We traveled to a seldom visited cave in Virginia for an afternoon of exploring. This cave required a rappel of nearly 180 feet just to get down in the cave. More difficult was working our way up the rope to get out at the end of the day. Below are some images from the event.
Pictures from inside the cave are always challenging. This one does a good job of depicting the threshold area of the cave where darkness form the cave meets light from outside.
Steve helped get us to the cave and led the way through the underground creek and narrow passages
Shelly and Audra take a break from exploring
Taking a break to figure out where we are and which way to go
Al is getting set to lower down into the cave
Marshall and Scott did a great job of setting up our system and even wrapped up those dirty ropes

Thank you Todd and crew - I had an ab-so-lute blast!
