	Please view this in HD for more fun https://www.youtub...atch?v=GES6jF-V5Is The pit just kept going and going. Here is a little tour around the bottom (slightly more boring): https://www.youtub...atch?v=eYu-IWAqmxM I used a GoPro Hero3. The upgraded camera works much better in lower light. It took me just under 55 mins to climb out with my rope walker. This included a few rests stops to drink water and take photos. A decent of this magnitude isn't really possible with anything other than a large frame rack due to the rope weight; you wouldn't be able to move on a stop, for example.

	55 mins to ascend 1150ft? So you ascended at ... 1150 / 55 = 21 ft/min average? Damn, that's hard to believe. Nice video though! =) Who's rope did you use?
	Give a person a match and they'll be warm for a minute, but light them on fire and they'll be warm for the rest of their life. =)

	I'm IMPRESSED! The rappel was great but I would want a helicopter to take me out. I can see why you used a rope walker! You would still be trying to frog your way out of there. LOL... Abby Normal

	The rope may have been PMI ez-bend. People can actually frog out in close to an hour too. The climb out on the lower side was about 100' lower. People on a rope walker can probably get out in 30 mins. I would like to take my time and enjoy the view of the cave. I also had to pass a knot on the way up, which took some time.
