    Love your caving videos. I have always been curious about caves but never had the time or means to go spelunking when I was young. Now at 70+ I'm too old and feeble so I watch you young folks on video.
    From northern Indiana it's at least a six hour drive to anywhere with caves.
    Up here the limestone bedrock (and any possible cave) is buried under several hundred feet of glacial deposits. And it rains a helluva lot more than in the past.
    Climbing up & down in the dark looks dangerous, be safe down there 😊.

    That’s cool to think about how it’s a rock collapse jamming the top of a deep pit. That would otherwise be a cavernous descent as you said.

    Many different minerals? Please name them! You are nuts to go there by yourself! If you broke a leg, you'd be stuck in there. Yes, I see calcite and flint (since it is dark in color) but no other minerals than selenite. Fluorite is sometimes associated with calcite and selenite (crystal gypsum) but I did not see any.

    Solo caving is a gamble. Obviously others have to know what cave you're to explore and what part of the cave you'll be in if you have a map. If you don't have a map and don't know the cave then it's probably not wise to go alone because if you did push a crawl and get stuck other cavers even if they knew what cave you were in may not be able to find you. And considering how complicated that entrance is I don't think I will do it by myself. Maybe if the cave had a big opening and some big passage where you couldn't get lost maybe then but not that kind of cave entrance because it looks like some of those rocks are loose it could have fallen on you.
