After 3 Years, We Finally Made it to: The "Rabbit Skull" Cave!

I saw this cave entrance about 100 feet above the ground while on a hike to Junction Falls 3 years ago. I've wanted to explore it ever since... With the help and determination of my friend Chris we managed to gain access to the cave entrance on our third attempt, and actually explore the cave.
We were worried that once we got up to it, it might be anticlimactic, but luckily the cave did not disappoint! Surprisingly the floor of the cave was covered in what must have been hundreds of years of animal droppings, which was surprising given how hard it was to climb up to the entrance. There was evidence of old birds nests and even some rabbit bones tucked deep into a back corner of the cave.
We chose to name it "The rabbit skull cave at Junction creek" due to finding a rabbit skull at the base of the cliff bellow the cave, and this time we actually found what we assume to be some rabbit femurs tucked deep into the back corner of the cave. It was a great experience and I'm still convinced that Chris and I were the first ever humans in history to step foot into this particular cave.
Thanks for watching!

Yes! Thank you!

[@GoodForYou4504]

@UtmostOutdoors And to be clear.. I mean, we are all put on this world to experience adventure when we can. And are better off for it!! Nice job.

[@Luciferwinchester]

I loved this so much, amazing video. This is the kind of thing I love, exploring weird little places like this. That is such a cool cave, I'd love to know how it formed like that.

[@selfretired3025]

AWESOME CAVE!! What a great adventure to persist at! WOOHOO!!

[@UtmostOutdoors]

Thanks! Yeah it was a super cool project to complete!

[@blackhawk35i]

You found it, the Home of bigfoot, so starts horrormovies 😅

[@mazuj2]

Sweet video! Another thing that everybody has always wanted to do but life got in the way! Thanks for the trip!

[@UtmostOutdoors]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@pamelaflores4129]

You remind me of Nikolaj Coster from Game of Thrones. Bravo for following your adventurous spirit and for sharing with us. It does seem like you were the first humans there!

[@rossgee2950]

That was a real trip to watch! Loved it!

[@garrettmillsap]

Very cool!

[@sportsbettorKD]

Wicked video, killed it again brothers, LFG!!!!

[@sethismename7499]

Awesome vid

[@goldentroutprospecting1821]

That approach reminds me of the time 3 of us did Lineham Lakes in Waterton via the cliff route. That entails an easy hike up to the cliff face and then going up a scree slope to the right until you find a ledge to go across 300' of cliff face to the left. There's 290' of ledge and two spots with no ledge and a couple of hand holds and a foothold. Once across you are now 300' up on the face of the cliff. We were roped and anchered up but a lot of rotten rock. That was 20 years ago when I didn;t loose my breath on a hike. I don't recommend it if you are a little jittery.

[@droning2239]

Awesome adventure

[@SasquatchBioacoustic]

You need to contact the caving clubs local to that area. A cave that obvious will certainly have been pushed, mapped, and published already. Not to mention named. And guano floors don't hold foot prints for long. Your prints will disappear too in a couple of years.

[@UtmostOutdoors]

We were unable to find any beta on this cave over the last 3 years. It's accessed from a fairly remote location and there was absolutely no evidence on the wall that it had been climbed... Who knows, but I'm pretty confident the first ever human footprints in that cave were ours.

[@sekelus]

how can you think your the first ? modern human walked the earth for the last 200 000 years and you think nobodys ever get in that cave that everybody can see from the trail ?

[@4kays160]

​@@sekelusbecause he has an american education, and does not realise erosion over the years has made it seem hard to get too, you can look at it and see people walked straight in 10,000 to 20,000 yrs ago.. 😂

[@Obshowersyndicate]

That was so amazing 👏

[@UtmostOutdoors]

Thanks!

[@Stroopwaffe1]

Wow thankyou for the upload it looks so good where you are, one word pristine, I'm from Hertfordshire, but now live in Selkirk, scottish borders, so quite remote by uk standards lol.

[@UtmostOutdoors]

Selkirk looks beautiful!

Some bird is flying around wondering why people are wandering around its executive mountain side toilet.

[@TheMrpiggyboy]

Carry on.

[@ScotlandsGold]

Perseverance wins again 💪

[@darcysingler6742]

No burn marks ceiling

[@swaybelly3212]

GUANO!!!

[@adamrobinson8238]

Could have reconned it with a drone. Pretty cool though. Well done 😁

[@The_real_Dr_mysterious]

You should explore the catacombs the unexplored parts

[@teamconspiracy]

Epic work mate! I think this should blow up

[@UtmostOutdoors]

Thanks! I hope so!

[@-______-______-]

Was there anymore to the cave? Was there any chance that it went further through a lower/higher passage?

[@UtmostOutdoors]

There was a lot of loose rock going up the one chimney that I was worried I could disturb and cause the fallen rock to block our exit, and maybe one tiny passage I climbed over may have gone deeper, but nothing echoed as if it was a huge area just on the other side.

[@maggiehoness]

when you said at first you were gthe first humans to go in the cave,? i thought what that rubbish,then you zoomed out? i beleive you now

[@MohammedNovalija]

How convenient having something strong to tie your rope to. Or are they man made anchor points ? And is Chris that man ? In that case I would like to have seen a demonstration of how he made it.

I think human miners built that cave 🤠👍

[@Tom_Emody]

The cave looks man made. But much older than most would agree on.

[@maggiehoness]

with the questions bro? talking aboyt poop a lot

[@charlesbronson7618]

I'm certain your not the first..

[@CivilShepherd]

How can you claim to be the first humans in that cave? Seems a bit ridiculous to claim that.

[@UtmostOutdoors]

My thoughts are that the climbing community has only been working on walls like this since the late 50's around the time people stopped using hemp ropes. It's not a popular area for people. There's no real value inside the caves in this area other than adventure. No signs of old bolts on the wall, and no beta about this cave anywhere I we could find. It's actually not that far fetched when you think about it... There wasn't a single climbing route we could see established on this wall that left bolts as far as we could see. It's crappy loose rock and there's better places for the sport closer to civilisation. I just can't see any reason to believe any other human in modern history has entered this cave, and based on my understanding of ancient history, the same thought process holds true.

[@4kays160]

People in 3rd world countries climb cliffs higher than this with no rope to get honey from a beehive, and you think no one in history climbed there for instant shelter that cant be raided or pillaged or have a bear eat you while you sleep? 😂
