- Nielsons Well has some of the deepest pits in Utah with two being over 300 feet deep. The largest underground room in Utah sits at the bottom of the entrance pit. It is large enough to fit houses inside. This is a very technical cave and it is recommended to visit with someone that has been before.
The Timpanogos Grotto is a 501c3 non-profit in Utah that helps protect and explore caves. Please consider helping their efforts by donating here: givebutter.com...
Curious to know if you have been in Neff's Cave in Neffs Caynon (Near Millcreek) I hear there are some very Deep portions of that cave. Many years ago while hiking in Neffs canyon. Me and some freinds of mine found an opening in the ground near a souther faceing slope not too far from the trail head. and a few of us (Not me) climbed in side. I read later on the timp grotto website that they still had not mapped the entire cave. many rescue parties had been called to the cave as far back as the 1960' or 70's for poeplke that got in had no ropes and got stuck. Anyway this is very awsesome i had no Idea. although Peter sinks is in that area as well marking some of the coldest tempuratures recorded in the state.
I have been to Neffs Cave twice. I actually filmed the top half of the cave a week ago. That video will eventually make it on here. It is a neat cave and is the second deepest cave in the state behind Main Drain Cave. Neffs is around 1,100ft deep. It's a steep descending crack in the ground. I have not been all the way to the bottom but it ends in a sump which is a pool of water. There were a lot of rescues in that cave so the Forest Service gated it. Now you have to get permission to go into the cave and go with someone who has been before. If you remember where the hole was on the south-facing slope I would love to check it out. It sounds really neat.
More please. Longer videos too. Awesome channel.
Wow! That was intense! Thanks for the wild ride
Absolutely fabulous! I usually can't watch cavrrs but loved your filming. I can only explore above ground. Loved it.
The cave named after my great great grandfather 🫡
If I remember the story right, he was the hunter who came across the cave first.
Mountains, caves, skiing, rock climbing. If you love outdoor activities SLC is a great place to live.
dude this is so beautiful you guys did incredible godspeed 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
sheesh
Hello. My name is Jef Walker. I tried to leave a comment but I think it was deleted bc I left my phone number. I have a cave I think you would be very interested in exploring. You would be the first to document it and it’s not on any map. Only the “Old Timers” know about it. I spent 12 years trying to find it and finally did locate it. I think it may have the largest descent in Utah. How do I connect with you and tell you about it?
The cave is on Mount Mahogany at the base of Timpanogos above Pleasant Grove, Utah.
@@Flyhisky Hi Jef, nice to meet you. I would be interested in checking it out. I know of a few deep caves on that mountain. Connect with me at agoodsell96@gmail.com
Great work! Thanks for sharing this awesome cave with folks. A true Utah gem!
went there in December! we didn’t push the side lead, but I’m curious are any of the ropes fixed in there or did you rig them as you went?
Usually, they are fixed.
Fantastic explore & pretty gutsey, but you all look like very experienced rope climbers. Thanks for sharing your film.
Wooooowwww. That's amazing!
You explorers are some very brave people! Outstanding video.
New sub here hello from Australia nice work indeed.
Descend means to go down ascend means go up, so which is it?
Descending
I also sent a video of cave exploration. Thank you for watching.
I think bear was fail? ☠️
Little Brush creek cave near Vernal has been mapped 18 miles long. Has a pit in it 320 ft deep.
Do you know where that pit is? Our grotto is working on pushing and mapping leads in that cave currently and we are not aware of any pit even close to that size. Also currently, it's only mapped to 6 miles long.
@@austingoodsell I have been there several times, the pit in this cave is 4 miles in cave. The cave is on Ashley Natl Forest and is locked and gated, contact them for possible access. I was in the cave in the late Sixty's, went with one of the Men that mapped it Arnold Ufford, and Bob Strickland. It's not far of the HWY that goes from vernal to Flaming gorge, sorry I don't remember the HWY # contact me if you need more help. Good Luck, Rob
@@austingoodsell YT has censored my reply to you in their infinite wisdom. Don't know why but I'm getting tired of being censored by these commie's. F YT
@@austingoodsell The Pit is back in little brush Creek cave about 4 miles in.
A word of caution on that cave, it fills with water if there is a bad rainstorm. We only went in the Winter. The cave is gated and locked by the US Forest service.
