Thanks for the detailed report cavingstud19. It has been a long time since I was in the middle of the cave. It sounds like you took a different route thru the cave than what I used. The station E31 in my data is farther in than I thought you were when you got rescued, but there may have been some duplication of station names in the cave.
I would like to find out exactly where the group was. I will offer to lead a trip next year with some of the rescued and/or rescuers. I will probably be doing some surveying too. I also wonder about the 30-foot climb where a rope was handy.
I will disagree with some of the suggestionsfor a space blanket or insulating foam. I do not go into a cave with camping gear to use while waiting to be rescued.
