A unique cave full of ice features year round. Inside, you'll find a large main hallway that slowly narrows to a tight squeeze. If you're not claustrophobic, and if the ice hasn't closed the entrance, you can continue further past the squeeze to a room with ice benches. Exploration near the entrance will also reveal several channels that climb through the rock transporting you out onto ledges on the cliff face.
Numerous accidents have been reported here. A helmet, headlamp and knowledge of safe caving technique is essential. Rockfall, tight spaces, cliff faces and slippery rock can pose a serious hazard.
