Abandoned Mines Near French Gulch, CA

Ever climbed up an ore pass of an abandoned mine before? Not too many people have. An ore pass is a vertical or inclined passage for the downward transfer of ore connecting to a lower level of a mine connecting with an ore chute/ore shoot. We were expecting these mines to be gated or collapsed. Explored with Jeremy Tuggle.
