Exploring beginner friendly caves is really cool. But tight passages like this and the nutty putty cave one are absolutely terrifying, and I want nothing to do with it.

This IS the nutty putty cave, the pic is just rotated 90 degrees.

The picture makes my skin crawl because I read about the guy.

It gets worse knowing which way is down in that picture XD

Oh god so much worse. Just a nightmarish, horrid way to go. It seriously freaks me out imagining it.

My first and only cave experience was with a friend who had done the tunnel before so he knew where it went and was safe. It was slightly wider than my shoulders and started with climbing a rope up into the tunnel from a river and ended with a T intersection.
