Actually, Logan’s description pretty much says it all. A handhold broke and 
Gary made the first descent of the waterfall. That was in October 1979 when we 
broke the Texas depth record and on our first exploration of that lovely stream 
passage.

We were too excited to be phased by the plunge, but were disappointed when we 
found a sump around the corner. We bypassed it via an upper level on a later 
trip, found a second sump that we also bypassed by climbing high, and 
downstream exploration remains stopped at a third sump that will need diving.

In the stream passage at the bottom of Sorcerer's Cave (originally called 
Adam's Cave) in Terrell County, TX, there is a 1.5 m waterfall into a plunge 
pool. During a 1978/79 survey by the San Antonio Grotto (SAG), a caver took an 
unplanned dip into the pool. The place was christened Poole Plunge in honor of 
the caver--Gary Poole. George Veni can provide more details if requested.
