Exploring an Ontario Cave - Canada
Here are 2 links to video that I took this weekend. Both these short clips are of Pilgrim’s Crawl, an Ontario cave that is yet to be followed to it’s end. I’d say the biggest problem are the tunnel’s scallops, it’s like crawling against a cheese grater and my cave suit shows it after doing so.
Check these videos out – my first attempt with video of Ontario caving …
Pilgrim’s Crawl 1 - Caving in Ontario 1
Pilgrim’s crawl 2 – Caving in Ontario 2
At this time I’m still getting the hang of this video thing, I like it and see it’s potential for documenting our explorations in the newly discovered “Wasteland Waterway Cave”. One point is that I need to increase the lighting – especially as Wasteland Waterway has much larger tunnels. Some are well above your head. More on that in the following weeks and hopefully I’ll have my new caving book in about 2 – 3 months. It’s taking a while because I’m trying to get it right.
Hi Mick. Is the so-called “Tooth” a rock or a formation? About how far in is it from the enterance? Was there any air flow the day you were there?
About what size is the “tooth”, I can’t tell from the video?
Might the “tooth” be holding up other rock?
By the way the video idea is good. You should try taking some video using my LED type of cave light as well as some other types of lighting, to see what can be see? Does you video camera have other setting to try, auto or mannual to see if more can be seen with the lighting you are using?
Also remind me to bring some of the winter green Life Savers I have. We can try taking some pics of your teeth too ;)
And remind me to bring the old cave pic I have for you to borrow.

The tooth hangs down about 2 feet. Your unique skills as a dentist of rock that does not belong in a cave tunnel would likely clear the tooth – It’s like an old molar that’s been rotting since its somewhat impacted in the joint that runs along the top of the passage. It needs some micro-dentistry – just like your efforts in XS wire.
yes it is a rock, but not a formation. The rock is not a calcite deposit, I dont know how it got there, but it’s wedged in a crevice in the roof. It hangs down and there is a chance it could be wiggled loose, but I like the idea of your dentistry. Micro-B surgery ….
