I recognize this as Ellison’s. I went to the bottom of this one in my 20’s. We had to get a custom length rope cut at Bluewater in Carrollton, Ga. When you get to the bottom of the Fantastic Pit there’s a metal canister attached to the wall behind some rocks. Inside is a notebook & pencil to sign your name. It took us 1.5 hrs just to climb back out of Fantastic with ascenders. That was a long day. Great video guys. Love your channel.
@Off Grid Empire nobody is brave enough to this without each other. Nobody in the history of earth would ever go into a hole without having someone to inspire. We all do it for a reason.
The Balcony is 525ft. The Attic is 586ft. You got to the Balcony. I know the riggers and original explorers. We set up camp at the top of the warm up pit and spent 3 days/2 nights playing with that pit. Back in the day, there was 40ft rope that did the Nuisance pit, short climb to the attic. Ellison's is massive, many 500ft rappels, and there is the other side. You can trip through the mountain. That cave kills, just saying. I have a photo of me at the bottom of that pit that matches your drop cam! I also have a picture of a bat on my at the bottom of that pit.
@@marvinpenick3859 I bet it was 620ft! I carried my virgin one to the lip. Getting it around the ledge was a trip! I was lead and rig the ledge safety line and the pit.
We all have sinned, and have broken God’s law (The Ten Commandments). Wrong doing deserves justice and must be punished (just like how a criminal has to pay for the crime they have committed) but God saved us from the eternal punishment of our sins by sending His Son Jesus Christ to pay the penalty for us, so that we may have everlasting life. Now for you to accept the free gift of grace, you must repent of your sins and put your faith in Jesus Christ and you will you be saved from eternal punishment, and be given everlasting life. By faith you will receive the Holy Spirit and He will transform your heart and clean you from the inside out. Turn away from sin, read Bible, pray for Jesus to reveal Himself to you and change you, seek to do what is right according to the Bible. Much love and God bless.
I was thinking the same thing- didn't think it looked quite right from what I remember. And you are correct, this cave is a killer. These guys make some good vids, but I fear they may encourage some other thrill-seekers who may not be as well-prepared to try to do the same. I am thinking of those two young college guys from FL a few years ago who died here, all because they didn't have a clue what they were getting into, and came in totally unprepared.
I have to admit I'm jealous lol, the views these guys get to see in person are just incredible. If you've ever tried to photograph expansive landscapes like this, you understand that the videos and photos you take can never do it justice. I can only imagine how addictive this type of exploring could be.
Thanks yet again guys for taking us along vicariously underground again. 👍 That 600 foot death drop is amazing! 🤯 The face profile in calcite or quartz at the bottom of the wall spooked the heck out of me when I first caught a glimpse of it!

Hanging from bolts drilled into rock is usually at more of a sharp angle. Trusting your life to an overhead bolt where the force on the bolt is straight out along the axis of the bolt seems certain folly. I am glad that you went down that cave and got back out. True wisdom there in sending the GoPro down the pit instead of bringing a very long rope. Thanks.
Seeing that you posted a new adventure to watch has got to be a highlight of my day! Thanks for sharing your adventures with us. Can't get enough of them.
I had a mini panic attack waiting to hear that rock hit the bottom and knowing you all are standing right on the edge. Whew!! I was waiting for some creepy cave creatures to crawl out and inspect the GoPro. Your adventures are always fun to watch.
''I feel like this rock I am standing on is about to break'' ''It feels like the ceiling could collapse'' ''One slip and off the edge you go'' ''I hope I don't get stuck'', etc... Man don't be the next Stockton Rush...@ AAT
Same! This is the closest feeling to feeling of watching The Descent! Half the time, my brain is expecting something creepy to jump out as if it's a found footage movie!
You guys always keeps us at the edge of our seat with your adventures, hats off to u all , amazing stuff, stay safe. greetings from Melbourne Australia ❤ ❤
Thank you so much for going through the trouble of recording this and editing it and sharing it for people to see as well. You guys do so much awesome stuff. I just got to the 600 foot spot in teh video with the fishing line invention. Awesome and wow that is the coolest looking cave like a cave goblins live in a movie. Mahalo
What a great adventure!! Thanks for posting it for those of us who can no longer climb, but was able to enjoy the experience through you!! Stay safe and I wish you all many more adventures to come!!
Why did I expect a critter "monster" to grab the go pro when it hit bottom of the pit!! Lmao 😂 Enw cool cave y'all!! Ty for the adventure!! Peace and much love to y'all all be safe out there adventurin!! Lookin forward to more to come!! 😍😁✌️❤️💯🙏
Ive just recently found yall and i have to say yall freak me tf out lol its amazing to watch yalls journey through th cave system and altho im a hard ass Texas woman theres no way i would do what yall do ! Major props to all of yall ! If only i was a kid again lol
OH MAN! You gotta get a 360 camera to drop into those caves like that. I use 360 cameras in my videos and you won't miss a shot. Now you gotta go back. LOL!
As with the rest of the positive comments on this video, I' like to thank you for sharing another of your amazing subterranean expeditions with us all! Where do you find these spectacular pit cave systems? Are these part of the Ellison's Cave system?
There are uncharted parts of that cave and there are definitely more drop pits that lead to deeper depths. I’m 100% for sure of this because where is all of the water going too? The cave is not submerged under water yet.
The cave is called Ellison's cave and the water exits at the bottom of the mountain in a "Blue hole". The cave is over 12 miles long and extends 1063 feet vertically. There is a Wikipedia article on it as well as lit pictures of that pit as well. If you search for pictures of this pit that is called Fantastic Pit (586 feet deep) you will find great pictures of it.
You'll got bigger ones than me. I can only imagine going down there. It would be awesome if you could get more ropes and explore the base of the pit...you might find more caves into the pits of hell....or the centre of the earth with an entire world of reptile people. 😊 Thanks for taking safety as a priority when caving for us audience.
Actually, it's only 586 feet. It just feels like 600 climbing out :) .. The first time we went we got tricked into doing the Agony and Ecstasy crawl... Then discovered the blasted entrance. Good video, good memeories....
It’s on record as the 12th deepest cave in the United States and features the deepest unobstructed pit in the continental US. “Fantastic pit” at 586ft deep
one day you guys have to send that pit and explore the bottom ...... gotta ask ya the name and brand of that 20k lumens light , have you ever used a Petzl ID instead of a rack or Petzl stop and we noticed you don't use a foot ascender . Thanks and keep'em coming
we will definitely get down that pit very soon! the brand of our 20k flashlights is Nitecore! we are thinking about getting the worlds brightest flashlight for these caves too! it seems like we are starting to need it more and more. we don't use a foot ascender, we could, and it might smooth out our ascent, but we just keep it simple and use a chest ascender and a hand ascender. there are several reasons why we chose to use a rack to rappel. it is cheap, and the parts can be very easily replaced when they wear out. it doesn't heat up very much because the friction is spread out on several bars and the open air design cools it quickly on massive rappels. racks also rappel very smoothly. on a very long rappel the friction of the rope will decrease as the weight of the rope decreases toward the bottom of the rappel so the rappel rack allows you to easily slow yourself down with very little effort all while continuing down the rope smoothly. also if you hit a patch of water on the rope it can become very slippery or mud could seize a normal device. we haven't tried a pull down trip yet, but cavers have been known to use a single rope to commit to going all the way through a cave with one rope and find a different entrance from inside the cave to exit from. to do this a double length rope is usually used and with a rack you are able to feed two ropes side by side as if they were one strand on your rappel. then when they reach the bottom of the rappel they pull one side of the rope and it slides through a rappel ring at the anchor at the top and they continue on to find the next pit.
My friend and I thought we were krazy gnarly in the 70's entering tall sky scrapers elevator shafts, send it to the floor below where you are then open the door and get on top and ride. In a large shaft with 4 or more elevators going up & down and their counter weight blocks streaming opposite of them we'd hop from one to another, step off on beams and hop the next passing car, watchful of those fast moving counter weight stacks. That was nothing compared to this. Now at 64 Im chill but you guys bring the thrill, thanks. Im not so chill that I dont go out and seek it, I tend towards less physical action now tho, like right now with another Sunny San Diego, Ca Day Im about to hop on that Harley Davidson and get mine. lol
Dude. That was fun to watch. Thank You. I like lowering cameras into places to see what is there too. I hope you guys are using safety lines. It would be horrible to have an emergency on only one line.
Good on you guys for having a go, I wouldn't call you crazy, but extreme caving is not something I'd try. It's awesome to see what's under the earth, but I'm happy to watch your videos from the comfort of my chair.
That's awesome, Pit! You had a great adventure that everyone would like to experience. Did you find anything there? Where is this pit? Thanks for sharing.
This cave is the namesake of my great grand uncle Augustus Parks Ellison (1842-1912) whose home was located near the cave. His left arm was amputated at the shoulder from a wound suffered in 1862 during the Battle of Fredericksburg.
🤙 Jeepers Lads Incredibly Well Done.. !!! Fair Play To You's... 👌 I timed that drop the one you sent the Go-Pro down and I worked it out to be almost 900 ft.. Well it took 7.72 Seconds to drop. And you'll do 1,500ft in 12 Seconds .. Accordingly via Alexa anyhows. 👍😁 Take guy's yeh.. awesome video's it goes without saying.... ❤🤙
That Go Pro device made it appear as though there were even deeper drops off to the side. I thought I saw another black void as it was being lowered down. Seeing that cave made it aware to me that there are probably hundreds or thousands of deep caves like that all over the world which then makes me wonder if someday the world will collapse in on itself far into the future. I wonder just how far down someone could go in one of those caves like that one. You all should get a bunch of sponsors, even NASA and spend 2 weeks in that cave with a bunch of other spelunkers and explore the depths of it all. Bring in tents, lights, and the works to do a grand expedition of that cave. I bet you could easily raise a few million dollars or more! Get LiDAR equipment to make 3D maps and have Garmin, Apple or some like that as a sponsor. Could probably even get Google Maps interested too. To be able to go down as deep as possible would be an amazing adventure! I’d even be interested in helping if I could be allowed to view some of the data collected. Such as, atmospheric pressure, magnetic anomalies, high resolution images taken of the layering of the walls and such.
Keep them coming. These are awesome to see. I have claustrophobia so I would never do the deep parts in real life so these videos are the best I'm going to get 😅👍🏻
At 13:30 I realized what we were looking at...the old core center of the globe. Each solar system we travel through, gives us our layers, and as a gold prospector, I thought I saw possibly "the flash" as you panned forward on a large stone, after the fossils. Absolutely stuck on this show, and still 10+ minutes to go...awesome! CHEERS 🍻 🇨🇦 That's a workout
Your videos are incredible! This is hands down my new favorite TH-cam channel. No self promotion, no voice overs, just great footage. THANK YOU for the quality content.
Not sure if it would be possible, but buying a camera better in light that does 4k would be so cool to watch. The videos are already amazing, having something that does 4k and even better in darkness would be so incredible. (However that's probably pretty expensive). Anyways keep up the great work bro, love the vids!😁
Your Nitecore TM20K lights are powerhouse lights for sure, but for illuminating at a distance you need candela. This cave looks awesome, I'm absolutely terrified of heights so the rappeling is not for me, but I think it would be fun just to do the first part leading up to the first drop. I just cant make myself trust a rope to hold me, no matter how strong.
People think I’m crazy for loving caves. I’m female but I always find caves very fascinating and mysterious. I’ve been in a few caves with a guided tour. Two in particular are Mammoth Cave and Ruby Falls Cave. Since my first time in a cave, be it Mammoth, I was hooked. I’ve never gone exploring myself though. I’m a little afraid even though I would love too. Anything can happen, no matter how cautious you are. Look what happened to John Edward Jones. He couldn’t be freed and now his body is trapped till the end of time in Nutty Putty Cave. Be careful and never go alone. At least with a professional. Thanks for making these trips into videos so those of us who aren’t able to go explore like you guys, at least we can see these underground wonders through your eyes. God bless.
Would love for you to check out some of my caving content as we have been caving for 20 years in this region known as TAG. I also do a lot of all female trips! @tag_caver
If you ever become seriously interested in seeing caves, especially ones not open to the public, look into The National Speleological Society. You’ll be able to connect with a local grotto and they will be able to take you on guided and safe adventures of caves near you. From what it sounds like you’re located within the Southeast US which is the cave capitol of the world. TN, AL, GA (TAG region) has the highest cave density of anywhere in the US and potentially of the world, with maybe Vietnam being an exception.
@@namuhtsuj4025 nope, I’m from Chicago, Illinois. No caves here. I’ve only been to the ones I mentioned on family vacations. Thanks for the info though! ☺️

Oh man! thought we were getting a front row seat to a climb down X^D
next time the camera will go down on one of our heads! we finally got the rope long enough to do it
@ActionAdventureTwins Going to be epic!
That Go Pro device made it appear as though there were even deeper drops off to the side. I thought I saw another black void as it was being lowered down. Seeing that cave made it aware to me that there are probably hundreds or thousands of deep caves like that all over the world which then makes me wonder if someday the world will collapse in on itself far into the future. I wonder just how far down someone could go in one of those caves like that one. You all should get a bunch of sponsors, even NASA and spend 2 weeks in that cave with a bunch of other spelunkers and explore the depths of it all. Bring in tents, lights, and the works to do a grand expedition of that cave. I bet you could easily raise a few million dollars or more! Get LiDAR equipment to make 3D maps and have Garmin, Apple or some like that as a sponsor. Could probably even get Google Maps interested too. To be able to go down as deep as possible would be an amazing adventure! I’d even be interested in helping if I could be allowed to view some of the data collected. Such as, atmospheric pressure, magnetic anomalies, high resolution images taken of the layering of the walls and such.
the ancient depths below must be explored !
Wow! Good decision to know when it’s time to call it a day👍🙂
Another awesome video, but I was waiting for you guys to repel down there!! Would have been an awlful climb back up!! Amazing video.
Awesome vid! You guys should rappel down that one day.
Keep them coming. These are awesome to see. I have claustrophobia so I would never do the deep parts in real life so these videos are the best I'm going to get 😅👍🏻
Dudes, awesome channel! Just BE CAREFUL!
Man, I seen a very knowledgeable someone say that you guys can be dangerous, now I belive it. You guys are dangerous. Be safe boys
Gotta hit that bottom next video!!!! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻🔥🔥🔥
quality content as usual
you the GOAT man these videos will forever go down in history
At 13:30 I realized what we were looking at...the old core center of the globe.
Each solar system we travel through, gives us our layers, and as a gold prospector, I thought I saw possibly "the flash" as you panned forward on a large stone, after the fossils.
Absolutely stuck on this show, and still 10+ minutes to go...awesome!
CHEERS 🍻 🇨🇦
That's a workout
Wow, that was awesome. Thanks
journey 2 the center of the earth! good luck!
Great video guys Thanks for sharing ❤
Your videos are incredible! This is hands down my new favorite TH-cam channel. No self promotion, no voice overs, just great footage. THANK YOU for the quality content.
When you dropped that rock I kept waiting started convincing myself it never was gonna hit 😅
Great video. Athens Georgia here!
We have been caving in this region known as TAG for 20 years, would love for you to check out some of our caving content. @tag_caver
What do you guys eat after your adventures? I get hungry after watching lol what you’re doing is epic. Stay safe❤
Not sure if it would be possible, but buying a camera better in light that does 4k would be so cool to watch. The videos are already amazing, having something that does 4k and even better in darkness would be so incredible. (However that's probably pretty expensive). Anyways keep up the great work bro, love the vids!😁
Your Nitecore TM20K lights are powerhouse lights for sure, but for illuminating at a distance you need candela.
This cave looks awesome, I'm absolutely terrified of heights so the rappeling is not for me, but I think it would be fun just to do the first part leading up to the first drop. I just cant make myself trust a rope to hold me, no matter how strong.
Stay save and thx for the great adventure! This cave looks insane😮
Wild cave!
Do you plan to ever explore the deep pit?
You really need to get one of those laser flashlights that shoot a concentrated beam for miles.
man it's like Jonathan's blue world but without water truly amazing ❤️
12:30 That looks like a crawler from The Descent! That is so unsettling!
It's fantastic how you guys do those pits,😂😎😎
You boys are so STUD!!!
I keep waiting for some creature to come out of the darkness, snag the Go-pro, then let off a loud unhuman screech.
I swear I saw something jump across at 6:51 when he shines the light.
Welp! I've definitely found my new favorite YT channel!
You need to come to Croatia, coast is beautiful more then 1200 islands, beautiful citys cool people and "Lukina jama" 1.3km deep😂
Great video👍
you guys should definitely do fantastic. and bring a lot of powerful lights!
At some point I’d love to see you guys make a map of this place
There'll be a map already made. I'm sure you could look it up
There is already a map that was made by cavers before these guys were even born. LOL
This is a very famous cave in ga
Thank you for the video
It's amazing, thanks ❤
People think I’m crazy for loving caves. I’m female but I always find caves very fascinating and mysterious. I’ve been in a few caves with a guided tour. Two in particular are Mammoth Cave and Ruby Falls Cave. Since my first time in a cave, be it Mammoth, I was hooked. I’ve never gone exploring myself though. I’m a little afraid even though I would love too. Anything can happen, no matter how cautious you are. Look what happened to John Edward Jones. He couldn’t be freed and now his body is trapped till the end of time in Nutty Putty Cave. Be careful and never go alone. At least with a professional. Thanks for making these trips into videos so those of us who aren’t able to go explore like you guys, at least we can see these underground wonders through your eyes. God bless.
Would love for you to check out some of my caving content as we have been caving for 20 years in this region known as TAG. I also do a lot of all female trips! @tag_caver
If you ever become seriously interested in seeing caves, especially ones not open to the public, look into The National Speleological Society. You’ll be able to connect with a local grotto and they will be able to take you on guided and safe adventures of caves near you. From what it sounds like you’re located within the Southeast US which is the cave capitol of the world. TN, AL, GA (TAG region) has the highest cave density of anywhere in the US and potentially of the world, with maybe Vietnam being an exception.
@@namuhtsuj4025 nope, I’m from Chicago, Illinois. No caves here. I’ve only been to the ones I mentioned on family vacations. Thanks for the info though! ☺️
