- This was my most exciting and reward mine exploration BY FAR. This trip took over 6 hours underground. This route has not been explored in over 100 years and had all sorts of historic artifacts. I can't wait to see what else is down there...
Thank you all so much for the support and subscribing! So much exciting stuff coming up here. at Cerro Gordo from mine explorations, to building renovations, and much more. Can't wait to show. you all!

THANK YOU!
Thank you all so much for following along for the adventure! I'm planning on going all the way to the bottom of the Jefferson Chimney here soon. If you aren't already, I hope you'll subscribe! Let me know below what other videos you'd like to see in the future!
just be safe!
Just remember to be safe :)
Yes go deeper much deeper
Please be careful brother!
Keep up the good work Brent! These videos keep getting better and I cant wait for the next.
I just can’t believe people mined all this rock out, it’s huge
yeah and with much less safety stuff than today.
you should see some of the hydro mined mountain sides on the surface. the caverns left behind are disorientingly massive just to look at.
@@scubaguy5389 no safety stuff
I worked at the Dome Gold mine in Timmins Canada that operated for 115 years and finally closed about 5 years ago, it's bottom was around 5, 480'.
@@twocentproductions5326 wow, you'd think that would have some sort of safety helmet - amazing
definitely go deeper bro stay safe
Lil Peep legend
Weird seeing you here, but at the same time... you are a man of CULTURE, so I shouldn't be surprised. Bless you!
That's what she said.
Whaat Astari
Astari, Atari or Mata Hari?
Hey ! Maybe a nice thing to input for viewers would be to put a "map" of the Mine (schematic) and as you explore it a red dot or something move on the map, so we can better figure out where you are ?!
It's more work for sure but more comprehension for us
That would be awesome because sometimes I’m totally lost as to where they are.
Good note! I'll try to do that!
@@GhostTownLiving not only would it help us as viewers but it will help you keep track of where you have been and potentially help you be even more effective with uncovering other locations you are looking for
@@GhostTownLiving No pressure ^^
@@GhostTownLiving Really should take a GPS with you, that tracks your movements so you can document/label all the shafts you have traversed, Also, if you come into a dangerous situation, could potentially find a faster way out.
That single-strand rope draped across the rocks at 10:46 was scary. When I was a teenager our group got into rappelling and we found out pretty quick how dangerous a single-strand of rope rubbing on sharp surfaces can be. One of the guys' rope snapped from rubbing on the rocks. Luckily for him he had descended most of the way and the injury was only a broken arm, but it could have been much, much worse. A humble suggestion would be to invite one of the mountaineering/exploring clubs out to explore some of your site. The amount of information (technique and safety) you can pick up from a group like this would be invaluable and they would be thankful for the rare experience.
Ropes these days are much stronger and resistant against slicing, I’m assuming they’re using the same ropes we use when sheeting tall buildings, these ropes can run against sharp tin all day and not fray a bit
@@stephaniecoomey2356 I literally wouldn't trust my strongest rope on a hard corner like that.
@@jcsc2001 Well they did and the rope held up fine. The ropes weren't even pushed close to their limits. Manufacturers have ratings this ain't no guessing game
@@thewafen763 don’t get your thong pulled too far up your ass he just giving his personal experience
@@thewafen763 the more you use the rope, the less stable they are, and trusting a single rope rappelling is never a good idea, for the same reason that simul rappelling or anything like that is dangerous, always have a backup
You know it's gonna be a intense video when Jonny shows up !
yeah
Johnny is indeed quite the fearless adventurer . The ultimate battle-buddy.
I call him Johny Quest.
in chuck taylors no less
yEP!
So glad you finally found your way into the Union Mine, Brent. I know you're of course going to go deeper... but I wonder if you would consider doing something to protect your lungs from all that dust we see flying around. It can't be healthy to be breathing in all of that.
That and a gas meter.
@@rowanthefirst148 and a geiger counter
And a miners helmet.
dang its crazy thinking about people that were down there 100 years ago, like the newspaper was from 1913, one year before war war 1, and one year after the titanic sank. its quite interesting and fascinating.
War war 1
And those guys didn't have the quality of lights these guys have now. Tough life and a heck of a way to make a living !!
With candles no less...
Yeah.. I should stop complaining about working from home behind a cumputer 🙂
@@Turkentorque yea you should lol but I’m sure it has its own struggles in its own way.
Watching the slow, meticulous climb down all that descent, passing by countless ladders and some platforms, made me really think about the massive human undertaking of the miners building the way down there as they mined further and further.
The "Dude I know where we are!" moment was great and a long time coming.
When he said that I was thinking, I don't even know which way is up.
You could feel his excitement. That was awesome.
28:50 when you've been playing Minecraft for like 2 hours exploring a cave system, have absolutely no idea where you are anymore, and then finally see that double torch marker leading you back home.
I loved when you said: "I know where we are" and you just started running! I would have loved to see your face at that moment. Even though it is not the easiest way in, I'm happy you finally found your way in the Union Mine. Can't wait to see more of your exploration, but stay safe!!
Right! That was a splendid moment. His excitement was palpable lol
Hey Brent, I'm a retied California State Ranger. I have a cabin on Lone Pine Creek, and Visit Cerro Gordo a lot. I volunteer as a guide at Bodie State Park and come from a Eastern Sierra mining family. Love to hear one of your history talks. Thank you for taking the long view and sharing why you do.
Brent: brings everything
Johnny: chucks and a hoodie
Johnny is a true miner lol, can guarantee I'd wear chucks underground if I could
Well yeah, if someone else brings all the stuff, what else is there to take?
Hey. I love to follow your channel and explorations, but I’m also scared sometimes when I look at how you handle your ropes when going down. I have done a lot of rappelling in mines and we have always use anchors to pull the rope away from ledges and sharp stone overhangs. If the rope is forces to hang over an sharp edge we always use some protective patch or sleeve. Try string up a rope and try to cut it when under tension you will se how little force is needed from sharp objects to cut off the rope. I also have a few ascending tips if you like. Best regards from Norway
When your not using the platform lift, secure a rope that goes down the shaft, so if you ever take an alternate route like this again and can't get back up it, you can clip into and ascend that way instead.
leave some MRE's and water down there, too! Really cool exploration
this is a good suggestion.
Doesnt the cage block the entrance to the shaft ?
@@korosensei4384 would probably get phone reception there though
I dont think he cares for the mre's 😆 eeeewwww.
in some of the videos you can see an old ladder in the shaft and it looks like there is possibly enough space to climb past the cage, just not sure if there is an opening at the top of the hoist house. I'm guessing the cage is in the way since he has not gone down that way
As a lover of history I get goose bumps when you find something that no one has seen or touched for so long. Really appreciate your exploration to find the history not to extort it but to share it with everyone. Well done.
I would put money on a miner knowing it was his last shift in the powder room section of the mine and it would likely never been seen for many years. So he put the perfect box on display with a newspaper date to be found in the future. Amazing
and now it is gone.
@@Acecool Well he does own all this land/mines and everything in them
More likely just some previous explorers placed it there. Several others came before Brent. Soda cans spotted, modern trash, etc.
“Dude, I know where we are!” Such a great moment!
Johnny is as passionate and committed like Brent in exploring the
Cerro Gordo mines. He is just silent in the background but you can see how skillful and confident he is going underground.
I dont even want to be 6 feet below let alone a thousand feet you guys went deeper than 99.9 percent of what most people will ever go so thanks for sharing your adventure with us you tubers .
Cant wait to see the 900 level attempt! Stay safe!
Hey, I know you lol. Were you pigeon420? I just thought of that guy when I was watching one of your videos the other day... You guys sound similar and have a similar video style...
nevermind. I went and listened to one of his videos, its not you...
now that is some good old rappelling .......we know the feeling of getting something pulled into your descender .....that will wake you up in the morning ....surprised you did not bring two way radios ...... it's always a nice feeling knowing that you made the connection to another section of mine that you were looking for and an easier way out the ascending straight up ....but you guys did it .....congrats my friend ....I know that tired look too ....of course you have to go deeper .....you own it.
Two way radios seem so obvious that I just assumed they didn't have them because they wouldn't work through all the rock.
Radio waves (of the usual 2 way portable radios) don't propagate underground. You can only use them in something like the hoist shaft, because there's no rock inbetween the receiver and the transmitter.
There are expensive VLF or LF systems available that work with high power levels and electrodes you stick into the earth but that's highly specialized, expensive stuff.
It would be worth the effort to drop some telephone/intercom cables so you can actually make a connection, if you're not standing directly in the shaft.
you know what i'm bout to say!! so come on letss gooo
HAY JEFF TODAY WAS A GOOD DAY BOTH A VIDEO FROM YOU AND THE GORDO MINE I STILL THINK YOU SHOULD NAME YOUR POLARIS THE CLAIM JUMPER & THE NEW SHAFT ORO WEY... PEACE TO ALL...
Would love to see you do a video at Cerro Gordo, Jeff!
What can a person say but WOW. You and Johnny are amazing. That was crazy adventure thanks Brent and Johnny enjoyed every minute
That feeling when you know exactly where you are, that's incredible!
Now that you can get down to the 86 union shaft, can't you just take that shaft to the other levels too? That's incredible!
It was a great feeling!
Yea, tell your buddy to climb out and send the elevator down to you when he gets topside. Lol

I prefer to call it The Onion mine, it's got lots of layers :)
bruh
All right, calm down now Shrek.
that's a huge Onion
I dunno, this one does really feel more like parfait
Bruh....
That was fascinating to watch! Thanks for posting for those of us who will never have the opportunity to do it ourselves! 👍
That's absolutely awesome, I've never seen anything like that. Guys you are very brave!
I am glued to every video. When you’re in the mines I feel anxiety and have to remind myself you are alive since you are describing what had happened.
For a guy with no experience making videos, you are truly awesome! Keep em comin and stay safe!!!
I can’t believe people like them are able to keep that anxiety at bay to stay hopeful & confident. Just by observing I have so many thoughts of “what if they get injured, what if they get lost or stuck” or even “what if something finally collapses?” Fun to watch though 🤷🏽♂️
He should still take caving classes though, they're doing some incredibly unsafe things
And like we always say, "If He Uploaded..."
Everyone: "He Survived!"
im seriusly scared for this guy, i hope he stops doing crazy things, hes a nice guy and is too valuable for the ghost town future
@@hobens1 I'm trying to understand what you're saying.. zero calculation in the risks?
I think he meant to say zero calories in a Brisk 😆
@@hobens1 oh man Thank you for response..
He has a camera man anyway. Unless the cameraman kills him like in the movies
I think you all would really benefit from reading a book called: Alpine Caving Techniques. If you switched to a frog ascending system and used rebelayes it would greatly improve your efficiency and safety on rope. I really enjoy your videos btw 😀
I have spent several weeks in Cerro Gordo and it has a lot of history and places to explore.
This is how I know I’m fully invested in your journey: when you showed the shaft me and my dog cheered
Archimedes: "Eureka!"
Brent: "Dude, I know where we are!"
Hey, I live in Eureka!!!
I'm convinced Johnie needs his own spin off series ASAP!
Hahaha
Thanks for the exciting adventures into the mine! Exciting to see all the artifacts no one has seen in over 100 years! I'm not usually claustrophobic but I extremely would be in those tunnels!
Brent, I don’t know how you’re able to traverse these mines while hauling around a gigantic set of balls. This channel is by far the most adventurous on TH-cam since you’re taking REAL risks. Please stay safe. 🙏🏻
Bald and Bankrupt: *am I a joke to you?*
@@topiheimola69 yes...
My comment was going to be, "How do They squeeze through those tight holes when they have to carry Their Nuts with A Wheelbarrow?" But I scrolled and here You are. I agree with You a 100%. They have big Nuts and A loose Screw. Lol.
@@topiheimola69 Gotta love mr bald
I'm normally not claustrophobic, but watching you guys repelling down into Jefferson Chimney definitely gave me the chills. Exciting though. Would love to see you reach the 1100' level at one time. Great video!
Cant imagine all the work that went into the digging of this mine.
You mean the White privilege?
@@zteaxon7787 what?
@@zteaxon7787 I'm not sure what you are implying but I don't think working in those mines White or otherwise was a privilege. It was a job and surly not a privilege to work that hard under those conditions for I can only guess very little money.
@@zteaxon7787 you mean your woke sheep privilege
@@zteaxon7787 The... Fuck?
This is the most realistic modpack i've seen for Minecraft yet.
Glad Johnny was with you. Seems like a guy you’d want with you if the shtf!
haha
you guys have some BIG balls, no way I could do, exciting to watch. great job
when abseiling PLEASE use something to backup your hand on the dead rope, one rock fall could knock you unconscious then your hand goes loose on dead rope and you're dead. Literally just a prussic under the ATC is enough, its a pain to manage but watching @19:53 is just giving me shivers.
i had the exact same thought !
Hey Brent so happy you finally found anothet way into Union Mine!!!🎉 absolutely go deeper see if you could get to 900 thru that way lol. U are by far my favorite youtuber!!! Stay safe you & Johnny!!
I'm glad you have Johnny. He's young, eager, and always has a smile on his face. good companion for all these adventures!
This is a video you see, and *while* clicking the very first time, you already know 4-24 hours is about to pass and you’re SO down with it. Just found the channel, amazing work!!
Great thumbnail picture
what is amazing is the fact that they were able to build all of this with only the technology at hand
Those janky wood platforms above the pit of despair are insane
*Makes my stomach drop just watching from the couch.*
"Should we go deeper" sounds like a rhetorical question to me, we all know that you most certainly will, Brent! (And we also would want to see that.)
Good sir, if I can make a suggestion. With all that dust and everything down there in the mine, I would considering investing in some mask. The stuff you are breathing in down there can't be to good for your lungs. I know it would be a pain in the butt to breath with them on while climbing. But would hate to see a video of you come on here saying well after all the mine exploring I started getting this bad cough and I went to the Doctor and I have a lung issue now due to all the dust I was breathing in.
Love the videos and I know you love exploring, but I want you to be able to keep exploring. Like I said, just a suggestion.
Definitely a smart suggestion...
Going into old mines that are abandoned is absolutely crazy
Its refreshing to see someone bringing life back to a place that seemed hopeless... a place that looked so unliveable. To bring light in even the darkest caves, all the respect to you my friend.
Me - "Oh a blasting cap, good thing he's not touching it."
Him - *touches it*
Plis tell me why I shouldn’t touch one of those?
@@DoughBoy45 Clearly he doesn't understand how dynamite works lol
@@frankwilliams4445 ypu havent watched the video where they used dynamite have you?
@@frankwilliams4445 cant you tell us why since ur so smart😂
I thought it was a cap of a blasting cap container, since these looked so much bigger than the blasting caps he found in an earlier video and he clearly didnt touch those out of fear.
Been here since month 1 and it’s amazing to see how far we’ve all come. Love this place and all the adventures you continue to give us, Brent.
I just started watching this channel, and I love it. (Discovered this yesterday)
Can't fault you for backsliding on the confidence with your equipment. I'm almost done binge watching to get up to the latest videos. Man it's been a ride.
It's insane to think that the old miners were all crawling through that insanely layered mine!!
Did they use ropes, or just the ladders?
@@StillAliveAndKicking_ pretty sure they only used the ladders back then
@@sotis1756 Yikes!
@@StillAliveAndKicking_ The ladders and platforms would have been in much better condition with wood not rotted out. Still takes a lot of balls knowing one slip and that could be it
@@StillAliveAndKicking_ yep, they were a different breed back then haha
The fact this was made back in the 1800s with no modern technology or equipment is crazy mainly all done by hand and dynamite it’s crazy
I think part of the chimneys had natural crack formations and quartzite pockets but impressive none the less
It must have been absolutely brutal hard work blasting and lifting all that rock out of those tunnels. Just incredible. I think you two must be the only people to be down there since 1913 judging by the newspaper. Just getting out of there after a hard days work would be considered hard work by itself today.
The plain and simple answer is Yes. The best things in life always happen when you go deeper, so go as deep as you can my friend..
gotta find a girl for that
Thats what she said
That was awesome. We got so excited when Brent said "I know where we are!"
Even Johnny had a big fat smile on his face.
when the sleeve got caught I got nervous lol even though I'm just sitting on my chair drinking my beer
been there done that but in a tree about 100ft up, as they did not have them then a step on ladder snapping no wonder they needed new pants if that happened over a 900 ft drop straight down
Amazing, congrats on finding another way into the union mine. I've been here since the beginning and know this was one of your main goals!
"You wanna go with me?"
"Yeah. Where we going?"
Johnny's a real one. 😂
Much love and respect for Johnny, what a dependable dude.
The fact that you found your way to the shaft is mind blowing.
Obviously, You Have to take us to the bottom. Keep it up! Most Awesome.
It's a shame more miners didn't take their pants off while they were mining so we could get their Levi's.
maybe one day he gonna run across all them lost miners, thats thirty pairs of pants for ya right there... ;)-
@@ralphbooger4756Yeaaaaaahhh... don't think they would want that karma / haunting 😱
I was wondering this also… who’s taking their pants off in the mine?
@@terrymckim5363
meh... that is 3 million worth of pants, and all the miners should be down to the bone by now, i think i could do it.
if there was still rotting flesh and they was all icky i might have a problem with it though...!
@@speechy_keen4878
mining pants were expensive and owned by the mining company, miners would exchange their pants when a new shift came in to take over... thats why some have been finding pants lying around in the mines!
Hey if Brent reads this, I asked this question last week, You might remember.
Can you discuss the legalities and authority you possess now over the town.
What rights and titles if any, It grants you.
Can you assign a sheriff, Judge etc etc lol
Do you have full ownership over the mines and minerals left, If any left.
Can you apply for Federal assistance and grants etc.
Can you collect taxes.
I'd love to know the answer to this and all or any other snippets you could share about this.
I hope the answer to all my questions is yes, Don't ruin the dream man ha
@@mrbburba Not sure how the USA law is.
But it was advertised a s a Ghost town so surely it still has it town status.
Like most laws etc are left on the books hundreds of years but never enforced, As its outdated with the times and modern society.
You always hear of Govs , When trying to take a persons land using ''law''' they unearth some ancient law or statue. To favour their argument .
So a question to Brent , Would be, Were the laws and rights of the town, Repealed.
@J If you're American. (I'm assuming you are) You'd know more about how it all works.
Still like to hear Brent discuss it.
He’s got full mineral rights
@@bear1245 Did he mention that before in a video.
@@betterireland1 he answers that question in the live chat on this video. Why do you ask him those questions?
By far the best content on TH-cam. Hands down the most genuine guy and I haven’t even met you. Keep up the work! I love it
Thank you!
I can't believe I missed this video while still watching you fairly regularly! This was such great content man! I really hope to come visit you one day
as a seasoned caver, this was was a pleasure to watch. amazing how much you've learned.
Stay safe and don’t let your subscribers hype you up to go again, it’s on your own risk and you should take all the decision with consciousness. Take care buddy.
This popped up on my TH-cam home page so gave it a view.
That was mental. You guys have bigger balls than me going down there, not least because of the risk of a collapse. But it made for a fascinating watch.
Kept thinking about a film though...
The Descent 😱
hahaha i actually had the same thought
Have you thought about getting Lidar equipment and scanning everything so you can see all the tunnels in 3d on your computer.
0:12 - "uh-ohh" has to be the understatement of the year!
id shovel away at least some of the collapses to widen the passages , at least enough that a slight slide cant pinch you
Ya, those spots are damn right scary, not for me!!
I think its best to not disturb the mine as much as possible, it could lead to more collapse or there could be dynamite underneath
Wow, Just wow. It feels so surreal that you finally found another way! I cried actual tears once it was 100% the union mine!
This place is beginning to become a bucket list location.
Yep it is in my bucket list
Location to go
Thank you for sharing this experience with us! Much love from North Texas!
Wow! Intense. So happy you found treasures, but happier you got out safely.
This is the Highlight of my Entire week, Thank you Brent
I am in awe watching these videos from within the mines it looks so amazingly terrifying. The ladders twisting and turning and all the other prop work is breath taking especially as most of it is 100 years old. The guys that mined that back in the day were proper pioneers. The mines may be void of their mineral treasures but the finds of jeans, boxes, paperwork etc is just as exciting to see. Keep those mine explore videos coming and for goodness sake take care of yourself!
Absolutely 100 % GO DEEPER!!!!!!
Dude this was absolutely EPIC. Love love love every week seeing the new adventures. Awesome to see Johnny stoked on the exploration too. Keep up the awesome content. It's a nice mental break for a lot of us that watch with all the chaos still going on above ground level!! Much love
Have you ever thought about bringing Glow sticks and dropping them down when you can't see the bottom? Or dropping a camera with a light on a rope down it?
If the sticks can't be retrieved they might affect some of the old chemicals already down in the mine shafts. Also since it's officially California there might b littering laws that prohibit stuff like that from being used. On a more realistic side the sticks could fall beyond the shaft that they r decending to, making them pointless. A few other possibilities occur but that's all I'll include
Last year someone sent him glow sticks. I don't remember the date but I do remember how thrilled he was to get them.
@@JS-wc4xs that wont be considered littering lol
@23:40 bag of old glue sticks
Should get pretzl foot ascended. You have more strength in your legs then arms and is easier to climb rope using them. BTW; you should have a good multitool to cut clothes or repair other stuff if things get caught on stuff. Plus a backup ascender is good if yours break you want to go back up to get out. I'd also get maybe 20ft of 550 cord & know knot trying incase you need it (main rope gets cut - you could use it to reattached. Be safe!
Additional: Go with proper footwear, not chucks. But at least Jonny always wears his helmet
Yes a pretzel foot ascender you can ascend the line and have a snack at the same time
We used to just attach a sling to one of the hand ascenders to use as a foot stirrup.
@@mfx1 Yeah, I usually did both. I'd have a foot stirrup for one foot, and an ascender on my other foot. Then you have two ascenders in your hands, one connected to the stirrup, the other a short sling to your harness (they should both be connected to your harness, though). That way you can literally walk up the line, moving 1arm+foot at a time, and you'd be able to use your whole body to climb up the rope that way. Way easier on the arms. As an additional comfort thing, you can get an ascender to attach to your chest, which would allow you to relax your back a lot more when hanging still and resting. Depends how much you're willing to spend on gear, of course, but since he regularly climbs on rope, I'd invest in more comfort. Also, more points attached to the rope is better for peace of mind.
@ Never really liked the idea of foot ascenders particularly is tight places in case it somehow jams and you can't reach it to free it up. I always used a cheat ascender as well
Johnny a real one for going with you…so dope 🙏🏾🔥
Respect for the people in the past mining stuff out of this! And man, it was tense to watch this!!!
Also: Johnny needs better shoes to do this!
Every time you go down into an unexplored shaft, I lose a year off my life just watching ! Stay Safe and Thank You for taking us on your adventures !!! Love this content.
My heart rate goes up an I get uncomfortable watching you go through those tight spots, stay safe brother 🙏💙
These mines are awesome, what continues to puzzle me is that many of these mines look like they where left with the intention of coming back after lunch.
Why did the miners abandon it so quickly?
If I would be him, I would never go back there after reading that comment, lol.
You got me thinking about the mothman
The Tommyknockers got 'em
most likely the lack of profit being generated by the mine, so the company quit operations there, and the stuff down in the mine wasn't worth going back down for
it really does look like it was just the lunch brake
It was amazing when you realized where you were in the mine.. that's such a monumental moment as an explorer. You'r reaction was wholesome 😌
"To explore and go where no living man has gone before"...keep pushin the envelope young man...Go for it!
To boldy go where no fat-man will ever go...!
Just imagine how many times a miner down there puts down a crate for the last time
Once?
Did you ever go deeper Brent? I'd love to see what was beyond the 900 level, When ever you show us the map of the mines, my eye is always drawn to the 1100 level that you never mention (or explore) can you get to it from the 900 level? the map seems to indicate that it was possible at some point. This was an awesome video, and I am so glad you finally found a way in!!
That’s when you need a glow sticks you can throw it down there and see how far it goes.
And I would take a drill gun with screws and be repairing those ladders as I go along.
Idk if some of those ladders are even repairable, I can’t imagine wood that old is very strong at all
@@reedveneziani9832 woods a great building material and will last forever as long as it doesn’t go through a wet dry cycle it can either be dry forever because there’s wood that is still structurally sound in the tombs of the pharaohs. And there’s wood that is still good that’s been sealed in wet Boggs. As long as insects or bacteria doesn’t eat it. Look at houses there are temples in Japan that have been standing with the same Word for 800 to a1000 years. And from what I can see the word Sarah Gordo has not been eaten by termites and he has not gone through a wet dry cycle because of the high altitude desert.
@@rnbspowa7of69 alright
Wow, just when you thought it couldn't get any more exciting or adventuresome - then BAM! - it kicks up a notch.
Your spacial awareness and sense of direction in all those underground tunnels is very impressive
THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST EXCITING FINDS YET! I NEED TO GO TO CERRO GORDO! CONGRATS BRENT ITS PAYING OFF!
All what I want to say is Thank you for videos and please be SAFE!
New to the series here, and this is super exciting! Freaky how your sleeve got caught in your belay device. Good thing you stayed calm and fixed it!
Do you have an air monitor when you go exploring? I don't know if you mentioned this in your earlier videos. If you don't have one, you should seriously consider getting one. Could save your life. Stay safe man, keep it up!
Yes, they have at least one air monitor and sometimes two. You can hear it beep at least once in this video.
