The Upper Cave Begins


This is our last Lower Cave picture. It splits high/low and Steven, Sean, and J.J. checked out the top passage and thought it was pretty cool. Anciently, many many moons ago, it was this passage in which a close relation of mine had uncooperative guts and had to answer nature's urgent call. There is now a commemorative plaque to mark the location.


Having completed the Lower Cave, you come back up and bypass the stairway you first came down. Then the fun really begins! The Upper Cave is not where you see the groups of underdressed 10-year-old school kids (it's 42 degrees in Ape Cave all the time). It's 1 1/2 miles of terrain often similar to walking on the Jetty in the dark. Yes, all ankles are still functional.


"Spiderman, Spiderman, does whatever a spider can..." There are some well-placed holds that make this pretty straightforward, but it sure looks cool!


I'll hold the rock, and you guys squeeze through!
