Cave Ice

This isn't something that you see everyday. Dustin Fric sent us this message and some sweet photos:

Basically the story is about ten years ago a farmer lost his cow and found this pit. The BLM sent a crew of cavers to check it out a while later. Then my friend who helps run this ALPINE KARST publication about caving took me there. He doesn't think more than four of us have ever been in it! Never a climber fo sho.

Rap in 240 feet to bottom pit, basically 3 or four pitches due to rope drag but they are all small.
