With some interesting access and a massive entrance, Charybdis Cave is a newly discovered cave within the encapsulating limestone walls. This is a hole that could be seen from certain angles but access had not happened until now.

We were not sure if this lead would go, but once I got halfway down the final pitch I could see there was a cave — a massive entrance with a large room! Beautiful calcite formations lined the walls and corners.

There was a large guano pile and the cave ended there. We checked high leads and those ended as well. Survey came in at around 450 ft. Next time we will check the lead on the other side of the mountain — the holes line up.
