Sótano de las Golondrinas Mexico
In December 1966, Charles Borland, T.R. Evans, and Ronald Stearns
were exploring the limestone mountains of central Mexico near the
small town of Aquismón when, almost randomly, they discovered one of
the largest and deepest caves in the world.
Four months later, in April 1967, T.R. returned leading an
exploratory group to attempt a first descent. This group included
John and Sandy Cole, Bill Cuddington, Bill Deane, Dan Hale, Bob
Hugill, Squire Lewis, Jon Morse, Sandino Techo, Nancy Walters, and
Sid West (several of whom successfully made the drop).
In June 1967, another party was organized. I was in this party with
John Fish, Ed Alexander, Jonathan Davis, and Ted Peters. Our task was
to conduct a plane-table and telescopic-alidade survey of the pit
entrance and floor, and to precisely measure the pit's depth.
Created and produced by Dick Mitchell. Music from Armik's Album
"Guitarrista". 2007.
The Association for Mexican Cave Studies is a nonprofit International
Project of cavers from around the world.
