[Flatlander]

Needs to post some more caving pictures. I bet he's got some interesting ones. This thread can be dedicated to pestering him until he does, and then the subsequent posting of his pics and inevitable commentary that will accompany such.

So,

Come on man! Show us some more!

:roflmao:
Oh geez... Ceicei and I were just talking about my putting pics up...
Wow, a thread in my honor... (cowardly lion's voice) "Shucks folks I'm speechless."
:asian:
ok but you hit the right button and no pestering is needed ... I :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: LOVE :inlove: :inlove: :inlove: caving. So question is do ya'll want ME or just anything I've done with other folks...
These were from last weekend at a popular pit that we use for training.
These were my pics that I took so obviously I'm not in them. Also FYI the pit is roughly between 55 to 60 feet in depth and a good 75 feet across at the bottom. A great place to practice single rope techinques which is what these guys are doing.

Awesome pics, MACaver! Man, that looks really freaky. I don't think that I could handle all the dangling and swinging. Yikes.

 

[Ping898]

Liking the pics. I agree with the rest... PUT MORE UP!:ultracool

 

[MA-Caver]

This admiration is just TOO much to handle... geez.
Uhh incidently... I don't recall bribing Shesulsa with any chocolate... hmm?
Anyway more pics of the pit... other caves coming soon.

 

[shesulsa]

Didn't you say you'd give me chocolate if I told you what Ceicei said about you in the LLR? .... maybe I'm dreaming.....


Nice pix - any of you?

 

[TigerWoman]

McCaver, there aren't any of you...

More pix, more pix, more pix

Caving, I gotta admire that. I think I would be vertically challenged. I worked in a 22nd floor building once, glass wall, artboard right next to the wall. Couldn't look down, blood would run to my feet. But that was before martial arts.....

Did I hear chocolate? Fedex, UPS it would be good, USPS no, they'd leave it in the sun... oh, yeah, I read that too, what Ceicei said besides I'm chocolate deprived - hubby hid it before going on a trip!! Sigh, I told him to hide it. TW

I take the Fifth on the chocolate...
Sigh ... of me... ohh kay
The first is me when I first started caving in Utah some 14 yrs ago... wet, muddy cave that was... loved it.
The second is one that I lead a lot of trips to...rappelling down 95' in a 220' mine-shaft where the cave intersects and swing in... way cool.
The last is about a month ago a sister cave to the first pic... wet and muddy and lots of technical climbing involved.

For those who are being intrigued about doing this yourself go to www.caves.org and look up organizations and go from there...

I'll take your taking the 5th as an admission of your guilt! Thank you very much!

This really is an interesting passion of yours MACaver one question...do you practice your martial arts in the caves?

 

[shesulsa]

Thanks, Caver!! We recently went exploring in a lava tube up here we call Ape Cave (legend is Sasquatch lives there). It was kewl! Would like to get more into rapelling and more serious spelunking!

Thanks!

 

[TigerWoman]

It looks hard. Thanks for the pics, enjoyed seeing what you were talking about...and you too! TW

MACaver, what beautiful and awesome pictures... however, hanging in mid air with only a rope between me and falling... umm... not for this chick... errr.. chicken :idunno: call me crazy but I like two feet planted firmly on the ground.

 

[Ceicei]

Well, caving is quite a workout. Once down underground in some caves, it's very beautiful. If you think Carlsbad Caverns are pretty, there are other caves that are absolutely gorgeous! MACaver has tons of pictures from all over.

Well hanging on a 7/16 (or 11mm) thick line might not seem sane but here are a couple of reasons WHY one would do so... you'd have to get on rope to get into this cave... it's one I plan to take Ceicei to.
and the last pic is one of my favorite reasons why I like to teach...
she's holding a piece of formation that was broken off... which is why we like to GATE the caves shut and make folks jump hoops to get the key... it's sad that we have to do that but until we catch the fokkers :whip: nuthing we can do...

By the way... I need to introduce the gal in the pic above... Danielle H. She's a neat gal who shows promise of being a great caver... Here she is with her BF James H. one of my good friends.
