The weather in mid-March was perfect too! On the way to our destination we stumbled upon a smaller pit along the trail, and I'm wondering why no one has mentioned this pit in any of the forums I've read. Also, we had walkie talkies, but they were drowned out by the hum of the waterfall. Has anyone developed a good communication method for scenarios like this?
Here is a brief video of our trip. We're hoping to do this for every cave owned by the SCCi because of all their great conservation efforts. Happy caving, man!

We did in fact notice the keyhole and speculated that we could rappel straight through it onto the pedestal, but we hadn't heard of anyone doing this before and didn't know how structurally solid the keyhole was to begin with, so we aired on side of safety and did things the hard way lol
