And... SNAP! goes the Ladder, A Frightful Winze, Exit Located!!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: We have a real mystery here. What do you think is on the end of the yellow rope? Why would someone go through so much trouble to climb through such a small hole? They would’ve had to be REALLY skinny and they would’ve had to go feet first into the unknown. I can’t stop thinking what might be on the end of the rope. Your thoughts?

[@malcolmkogut]

Maybe they never climbed down but dropped in a camera to view the footage afterward but it got snagged. There must be like, you know, I mean, uhm . . . ten years of footage on it by now. You need one of them thar "weasel cams." Or, there is a pack or a knot at the end. It is probably not as exciting as you think. A body would be cool, but not of the poor weasel.

I commented I thought hopefully nobody was at the end of the yellow rope. I was going to subscribe you on 5 of my families accounts but noticed my comment can't be seen from this account. What would cause my comment to be hidden.

Glad all three of you are back together. Mr. M take it easy on the knee we need you along to add your special spice to the episodes. Take care all and looking forward to the next one.

[@richardhardaker4586]

I watch a lot of these mine videos yours are among 2 or 3 that are the best. Explanations in commentary that are detailed with geology, what miners were after, construction etc, great camera work and pictures and a willingness to don full safety gear to explore dangerous areas which are often skipped by others somewhat younger and less adventurous. Others often don't even give the name of mine or if unknown the approximate location. All this makes them the most interesting. My regret is I never got a chance to do this when young.

I'm glad you found the connection to the shaft. Too bad you couldn't have dropped a gopro about 20' down through that hole around the collapse.

[@ingeborgm6147]

All my life I had the same knee problem as does Mr. M. Mine started when I was deep into high school sports....ruined much in my following years and caused embarrassing moments even when I was still young in my 20ss. i just arrived from Germany and his friends from both the university and military school and wives of those who were married had prepared a huge welcoming party for me and I blew it within the first 10 minutes: I wanted to admire one of the babies crawling on the blanket with its mother sitting next to it and I lowered myself on my knees....Bad mistake! My bum-knee chose right their to cracked real loud, I let out a squeal of pain, turned pale and passed out. (Never ever happened before or ever since and I am 82) now! I ended up in the emergency room with a cast the next day. They used to cast stuff they would never dream of doing now. We still had the party and many of us stayed in touch. However, just like Mr M. my knee popped on and off throughout my life and often put me out of commission , yet there was nothing that could be done about it. I never succumbed to the temptation of having surgery and eventually realizes what a good choice that was. (Sorry doctors! You know what I mean...leave knees alone unless the bone sticks out or the knee cap turned backwards) I am 82, still climbing the 16 steps of our stilt home numerous times daily! But even there I stepped "wrong" but always going downstairs at least 4 times in the past 20 years and was stuck upstairs for days. So Mr. M. , look at it this way: at least you were not deep inside a mine and the rescuers had to come a drag you out! I bet your Mary has no sympathy for you and told you a hundred times to watch your knee and not do stuff like that! :). I know I don't just speak for myself if I say we will be just as happy as you do everything you did up to now, be part of everything, man the 'Schnozzer-5000', make some of your videos , do your crazy rides with Gly in Bob and we will be happy while you pamper that knee! You don't need to climb up ...or down. Just be there! --------- Gly, I don't know what to say after what you did today! That was insane! I was so afraid when you pulled that yellow rope that it was either going to a\cause the rest of the collapse or you'll pull out some bones attached to it from the last mas wiggling through there! The latter could still be true because no one could co through after the collapse, so how did the rope get there? There could be a man attached to it buried under debris! Why else would someone leave this rope behind? He never told anyone about going down there and his name would still be among the missing!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: It’s a real mystery! Maybe when I go down the shaft there’ll be a drift that goes the direction of the yellow rope and I’ll look up and see it hanging from a stope.

[@ajdorrington-sadoski9420]

Hey gly I've watched a lot of your videos and I've been hooked for a while now. I just kinda wanna touch on a topic here that I think is extremely important. Dynamite! So your absolutely right don't touch it! Old Dynamite has nitroglycerin that can become unstable with time and can begin to crystalize. Once the dynamite crystalizes it can become touch sensitive and could be set off with the slightest movement! I'm pretty sure you're aware of this, however I wanna make sure that you're aware that it can also become a gas! At this point it is possible for a light, camera, phone, friction, or anything of the sort that could also cause a detonation to occur. Be careful buddy!

[@AbandonedandForgottenPlaces]

“Gly”: I worked in the explosives industry for 20 years so I know all the details. The dynamite that most concerns me is the stick that’s just barley buried under a few rocks below my feet and that’s why I carry a tourniquet.
