Spelunking the Santa Cruz Hell Hole: The Lost Files
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 9 сен 2024
- We finally recovered the lost GoPro footage from Hell Hole! These tunnels were TOO TIGHT. Check out this POV footage from Russ' camera. Alongside Jonesy, Russ and Kevin Bull (Kevin The Bull) adventured some 300 feet into the notorious Santa Cruz Hell Hole. This adventure takes place in December 2019. Please DO NOT GO HERE. The cave may become unstable and collapse. The chutes are tight and can be very slippery. Stay Jonesin!

I’m thinking a xanax and a joint and I’d at least climb down to the party room. Then I’m out. Whoever explored this cave first is a savage.
DING. If your aim was to hit a bell like mine, congratulations.
Even though this makes me nearly sick to watch I'm still fascinated. Be careful out there
I prefer to be careful IN THERE.
I caved the ‘hell hole’ numerous times during my college days in 1987-1989. It was called IXL Cave back then, although it did have the nickname ‘hell hole’. The unsightly concrete structure at the cave entrance wasn’t there back then. Some of our explorations took up to 6 hours in that cave. I assume similar times on your trip
Exactly! That’s how I found the map. IXL Cave.
JeffsandLucy are old school talent which I welcome.
I've moved on to both locate undiscovered caves and
explore same. Which in my county mostly occur in
ice, lava, and limestone. IXL: Cave is about 1,200 miles
distant but I do visit Santa Cruz using a Suzuki DR-650.
For limestone cave discovery not found in Cave Gulch.
Ditto, lava, found within the Modoc National Forest .
Yes 😀 We currently live in Thailand now, and have been exploring caves in Krabi province, one of which we had the privilege of mapping. Krabi is like cave Disneyland - limestone Karst mountains and caves in every direction
IXL could be better. What it lacks is
people to make it so. Partnered
with land management to purge
illicit use of state property. UCSC
or State Park property extent. As
they share the karst at issue. I'm
not a La-la Land resident and my
immediate interests include Canada.
There is more Santa Cruz County karst
than as known within Cave Gulch. As
a cave entry I first saw in 1962 and
did not explore until 1964 when with
the National Speleological Society.
Still said to be one of the longer caves
of California. Now having a resident
caretaker paid to halt unauthorized
entry. I've done better elsewhere.
Have land management permission
to explore speleology resources up
State Highway 9 out of Santa Cruz..
I’m subscribing automatically for the name
Thank you so much!
Absolutely AMAZING 💯
I dont have the balls to try this so I'm very thankful for this video lmao 😂
Just found your channel ❤I liked and subscribed ❤
Their are rumors that this tunnel connects to other major tunnels that lead to the college campus right next to the site an can also lead to the ocean. I live here in sc an no one knows if its true or not. Would be pretty cool to see someone concur the hell hole.
@@StayJonesin Why didn't you go down to the "Buddah room" if it was right next to the Hall of Faces?
@@StayJonesin Ah ok, thanks. It's just that I've seen some people go as far as the HoF when the real bottom is just a few more feet below. Not seen a lot of people get to "Satan't underwear drawer" either!
@@StayJonesin What is your Instagram
The cave is mapped out at 2200 ‘ of passage. Yes there is a large cave system under the campus but the entrance was destroyed during construction of the university. There’s quite possibly some connection but the lower cave is really tight and all the leads are for very slender cavers with nerves of steel. There are no caves that connect to the beach. Caves are formed in marble. There’s a sandstone transition that would make development impossible. In addition don’t go in Empire Cave because it had bad air which can easily kill you. IXL ( hellhole) has many solution holes that ventilate the cave
@@StayJonesin logs can’t get into that cave unless it came through the mountain maybe there’s another entrance I may have to check it out
Love the vid bro...STAY JONESIN!!!
I don’t know if these videos of Hell Hole where everything is wet makes it better or worse than the ones where it’s dry. At least it helps you wiggle through?
Its crazy to look at the map and think about how deep it actually is and how people actually made it there haha
It is only about 120 ft.
@@Magic1eaf its the complexity is what i mean.
It's actually over 300 feet of squeezing.
Groovy
amazing - Becareful friend
I wonder who was the first to say "huh wonder where this goes" and died 500 years ago
Same....
There is one cave within the USA that had had
prior people living within it for 800 years, We
have what they left on cave walls in-lieu-of
speech. .
Anybody ever die in this cave..really tight man!!!
Very few people have died in caves. It just looks awful from the videos of people squeezing through the tunnels.
@@StayJonesin yeah here in Jersey we have one called crooked swamp some guy died in.
@@StayJonesin 1982 I believe.sad.
@@StayJonesin think it was in 82 bro..ever hear of nutty putty..some dude died in there too?
What makes them lost ? Did these people die? This is super sad
I lost the micro SD cards with the footage for a year or two haha. We are all safe and alive. Thank you for checking though. 💚
@@StayJonesin oh thank gosh! I should not of jumped to conclusions, I was genuinely concerned! Thank you for the reply!
No way in hell
cave named : "you will for sure die"
people : "omG that sounds like so much fun"
There’s some great names for caves and crawls buckets of blood , meat grinder , pulverizar, lurking fear, the grim crawl of death
@@StayJonesin if you sign up for the National Speleological Society you will get to meet all kinds of caver. There trips with your local grotto and you’ll make friends that will take you to more secret or access controlled caves.
It’s about $60 a year you get to attend the ropework work shop to learn how to rappell and learn how to use ascenders
Why not wear gloves at the beginning?
Honestly should have lol.
Ya done it again (WHY)
talk about panic inducing videos. i cant do this ever no joint no xanax no anything could calm me enough to enter these caverns of tight spaces
Why would you ever do this. Do you actually find this fun
I say we raise a child from 1 all about spelunking everything his or her first cave dive is at 5 and every 6 months we cave dive and when they turn 10 we make them go as deep and as far as possible in this cave with a go pro and a tracker so we map it out
I've certified for SCUBA to explore ocean caves,
In Micronesia for years, then coastal California,
and lastly east of the Mississippi River. Let
me recommend float tours of Snail Shell Cave
(if it is not in the flood season). .
Why r u doing this shit I think u have so much guts😒😒
@@StayJonesin tell me one just imagine if when u gone inside suddenly happens earth quick then what would u do😨😨😱
@@StayJonesin bro how much is this deep😱
