New to cave exploration. This was as far as we went in this cave. It took us about 2 hours to get to this point and it continues, but the water is about chest deep.3yr ⋅ whyyyy123 ⋅ r/caving

Vertical cave safety concerns- this cave drop is surrounded by sharp rocks. Would it be possible to setup a tight static rope OVER the hole via 2 trees, and then connect another static rope to that rope so it doesn't make contact with the rocks? Or is rigging with bolts absolutely required here?1yr ⋅ SettingIntentions ⋅ r/caving
