    OMG!!😱 that drop leading to the room was INSANE!
    I give you tons of credit for facing your claustrophobia and then the heights on the second drop!! I guess not being able to see the bottom (due to the darkness) really helped. As long as your imagination doesn’t go crazy and decide to be super overactive creating all sorts of scenarios!!! Otherwise it would have been absolutely terrifying!! Not that it wasn’t already....but it would have been worse!!

    I personally would have had my arms turn too rubber at about the halfway point (providing I’d even make it that far) and been stuck dangling in the abyss for the remainder of my life!!😜😂🤣😂

    THANK YOU ALL for some very awesome interiors of some ancient water flows. The big room was originally a whirlpool of water as one can surmise from looking at the swhirls and water level strata marks. You people have alot of guts but also alot of knowledge of climbing. So glad that you all are safe and no bad gashes or bruses.

    It looks awesome, indeed it's very large for a cave! However, I don't understand why there isn't a better rigging there, so the rope wouldn't tocuh the wall (so lower risk of cutting it). For example on the biggest pit it seems that moving the anchors 5-10inches would do a great job!
