| Unfortunately
some steep drop-off s were encountered which necessitated climbing out of the
gully. This is very difficult to do in the dark and so the decision was made to
spend the night there with a fire and an unexpected delight: JACK KOSHEAR'S
bourbon. The next morning we were able to complete our descent in less than l-l/2hrs. and were greeted by our concerned but happy fellow-climbers. Incidentally, this trip is long and strenuous enough so that even though the weather was cool, some participants found that two quarts of water were not enough; three should be the minimum. Sunday morning at 10 we went on a guided tour of Mitchell Caverns which was quite informative, and by noon most of our group were on their way back home. |
