Rescue Video from Lechuguilla Cave

[Sagebrusher]

Lechuguilla Cave is in the backcountry of Carlsbad Caverns and was discovered in 1986. It is not open to the public, and is one of the most difficult caverns both in getting on an exploration team and in difficulty. Recent discoveries include areas that rival Carlsbad Caverns itself.


This was in 1991, I believe. I can't imagine the ordeal this lady went through...
