I'd say it's a 100-foot pitch, but a 70-foot pit. Unless it overhangs at 45 degrees, in which case it is both a 70 foot pitch and a 70 foot pit... god I can't believe I'm even typing this.George Dasher wrote: A 100-foot pit on a 45-degree angle is still a 100-foot-deep pit. You use slope distance here too; this is so the next caver going down the thing has enough rope.
