I took my barely-a-caver wife on one of her first real caving trips into Ellison's. The walk up is actually quite pleasant without a huge rope and all that vertical gear. I was shocked at how much I missed on vertical trips because I was so focused on (heh) bigger and "better" things.
Mostly harder, is what it really is...Did you know there's a substantial population of glow worms in the Ecstasy Passage? Yup!

Yeah, no doubt, the big pits are awesome to see and it's an immense privilege in life to have the ability and the means to enjoy them first-hand. But Ellison's is a fantastic horizontal cave (no pun intended). If that cave didn't have a single pit in it, it would still be a fun cave to visit; I've been to a lot worse.
