Description:
I have been looking for this cave for a long time. I have previously documented my attempts to find this cave here: https://www.ubc-voc.com/2019/05/16/preliminary-reconnaissance-rediscovering-memorial-day-cave. I even was given coordinates which were thought to be reliable, but ended up being duds.
I am now very confident I have the correct coordinates, and would like to check out the system. Depending on the type of vehichle we have, we can probably get quite a ways up the FSR. This would mean accessing the cave would require only ~15-20 minute hike with minimal elevation gain. Otherwise, it's still a straightforward 1.25 hr. hike with ~650m of elevation gain.
Requirements: headlight, backup headlight, helmet, stoke
Reccomended: kneed pads
I am planning to lead a multi-day trip to a larger cave system on the island in August. If you are really keen on caving, this trip is a great opportunity to become aqquainted with me and get to know my style.
On a final note, I will mention that I'll be heading out one way or another, even if I have to rent a vehicle. So, if there are no vehicles listed in the signups, I can take at least three people.
