brings back memories,the one I saw at a grotto metting at the pasadena library had a bunch of guys testing the rope by pulling on it lol my Dad brother and I were there we were the toe heads in the background lol Dad was the tresurer for the Grotto we sold carbide for 10cent a lb when we went through it there was no gate that was a long time ago 67 68 still got our carbide lamps hav'nt been cavin in 40 years best adventure Dad took us on great post thx Myke
I met "Little John" at the 2003 NSS Convention during the vertical class. While I don't know how he earned that nickname, he is huge on knowledge and experience. His attention to detail and compassion to new cavers will not be matched very soon. Of course, all the instructors at that vertical class that day were excellent.
For everyone who views this video, and who are interested in science and caving, please join the NSS.
I appreciate that. I came across the 16mm footage as an employee at Mitchell Caverns and thought it very worthwhile to view. It took quite a while to find out who made it and to get permission to release it on DVD."Little John" Woods, at the time, pretty much a kid, helped produce Stan Ulfeldts movie and has helped greatly in passing out the word that the video was available. As far as I'm concerned, John Woods is the ultimate expert on Cave of the Winding Stair. Thanks. Myke C. Ray
