You know Carlsbad Caverns used to pipe cave air up to the visitor center 
through the elevator shafts. Then finally they realized what damage they were 
doing to the cave--drying out formations, causing yucky things to grow in the 
cave, etc. They finally sealed up the shafts and the cave gradually went back 
to fairly normal. It's not nice to fool with Mother Nature.

Re: [Texascavers] Caving Wire Ladders?

2012-05-01 Thread Bill Walden
I used a cable ladder this afternoon to install a new light inside the 
pit under the basement of the Wayne County, KY Museum. The pit was once 
connected to the cave system beneath the city from which the then hotel 
drew cave air into the building. That didn't last very long.  In 1938 
the hotel installed real air conditioning. Today that hotel building is 
the Wayne County Museum.


I have a cave exhibit in that basement room with photos of Wayne County 
cave and an exhibit of caving equipment used in Wayne county from the 
1950s through the present. The pit, which has a rail around it, is 
always the biggest hit.

 I disagree that ladders are the best way to do even short
drops, except in cases where there may be a single short pitch quite
remote in a cave.  For one thing, to use one safely you should have a
belay rope, so why not just climb it instead of also carrying a
ladder?  IMO also sells cable ladders, but they're very expensive
($150 for 10 m).  Why not buy rope instead?
