Quote HistoryQuoted: Not only small animal bones, but we found a cow femur. Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: 120' drop! Were there piles of small animal bones on the ground there? Looks like a treacherous hole to stumble in to. Not only small animal bones, but we found a cow femur. Strange that only a femur remained. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: 2 is one, one is none. What is your plan if it severs? Or the anchor falls away As long as the rope isn't running over any identifiably sharp edges, it's going to be fine. If there are sharp or worrisome edges, simply pad those spots with duct tape, carpet, or a purpose-made velcro-wrap rope guard. Nobody is going to rig for rope failure. Or anchor failure. You rig it so the rope and/or anchors don't fail. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Here's an example of "2 is None!" from yesterday. https://www.ar15.com/media/mediaFiles/203937/GH018528_01A-2283015.jpg Is there an anchor under that ice, or just burrowed through? |

Going down into the big cavern would be cool. NOPE on squeezing thru little holes.
