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 [...]

IMGP0810, originally uploaded by Mic2006. This is JC as he and I wiggled our way on deeper into this unexplored Ontario cave system. We have a mapping planned.

Our aim today had been to reach the underside of a sink some 200 surface meters as the crow flies from the “Blue Barrel sink”. The initial squeeze beyond the blue barrel sink seemed tighter than I remembered it last visit, but beyond that, as expected, the tunnels opened up well beyond our most hopeful [...]

Though we were disappointed by the flooded entrance to Wasteland Waterway we decided to check a nearby sink and in hearing noise JC and I burrowed away and opened a karst window in the bottom of what looked like a meteor crater – the roar from within was encouraging. The picture above shows what my [...]

Intersection of entry tunnel and the first passage – Broken Boat, originally uploaded by Mic2006. This picture was taken on a recent exploration that JC and I did in an area that has long been suspected of being “cave rich”.

Check out the scalloping An Ontario cave near Lake Erie Notice the scalloping – wear features shaped like spoon scoops, they are indicative of the water speed and direction of flow. The roof above is grey and hard and worn smooth – no sign of the ceiling joint that governs passage direction in many Ontario [...]

A cave like Nexus, but way south of there Caving in Ontario We realized that we were inadequately prepared to explore this new cave, we had only one flashlight and crawling on the cobbles without knee pads was painful to say the least. We resolved to poke our heads in a short distance and see what [...]

Aside from the size difference you might also notice the difference in tunnel crossection. Any idea why? Are there [...]
