[QUOTE="Jeepnron, post: 463116, member: 154"] I dropped Ellison about 15 years ago. Me and some friends were into vertical caving and I must admit that particular cave is probably the most memorable! Look it up on Google and you will know why! It is not for beginners and you really need a group of 4-5 to make it easier. We bought a brand new rope back in the day just to go do the "Fantastic Pit" side which is 586'. The 440' side is called" Incredible" and although I have never done that side, I hear it is also an awesome drop. It took us about 12 hours to go in drop and climb out so plan on an all day trip. Also you need to be in fairly good physical condition! It is a hell of a climb back out and people have actually died from hyperventilating while on the rope. If you really want to do the big vertical caves I suggest getting involved with the Huntsville, AL or Birmingham, AL grotto. You can look them up online. They usually meet at least once a month and there are a lot of experienced cavers in those two groups because some of the best vertical caves in the U.S. are in the area where Tennessee, Alabama and Georgia come together.. Also, if you are interested I still have a lot the gear that I don't use anymore. Thanks, Ron [/QUOTE]
