Raggejavreraige - Exploring the deepest cave in Scandinavia

[@LuigiNava56]

Thanks for this nice video I did this cave in 1986 and i didn't have any photography For me it is a good memory

[@robertthomas3364]

Awesome. Thanks for the upload

[@callmeginga]

You can tell how scary this is by how many comments are criticizing your choices. In a dangerous environment, only the best will do. They critique because they care.

[@lindaarchinal9008]

Thank you for the vid. Quite intense caving here! Stay safe!

I love the first music part background, from Wadruna-blood eagle❣

This is a squad of straight up bosses 💯😎

Re the rigging - all anchors have been checked, all connectors changed out since this film was made. However the ropes are still quite old. Like Mark commented below, specialized equipment is really recommended for cave use, because the wet/sandy ropes will saw through ordinary aluminium descenders in record time. Having the ability to move UP as well as down is also a big safety improvement. This is a cave that requires training and preparation in order to be explored safely. Properly done it is very rewarding. I wish you all the best in the futere, and do see Mark about that SRT course :-)

[@michaelisaksson4488]

Thats awesome - good work! Aluminum is indeed a poor choice for these conditions as we had to retire almost all of the carabiners and ATCs. I can agree that we cut the margins short in some of these clips. We did however bring plenty equipment to preform ascent and rescue, and part of the team had scouted the cave thoroughly the previous year. Several members are experienced mountain guides and most of us were trained in rescue routines. It was a great experience! :)

@@michaelisaksson4488 Hello, we are a group of Spanish speleologists who are going to explore this cavity. Could you give us the coordinates of the cave entrance?? We are doing a project to make the deepest caves in Europe, 17picos17simas (17peaks17caver), we have done Italy, France and Portugal, and of course Spain, which with its -1,589m is a large cavity. Thanks in advance. If you also give us some advice we will be happy to receive it. Thanks and regards

Absolutely surreal.......weirdly forboding

Fascinating!!

[@Arytmica]

Otroligt vacker natur! Hade gärna besökt den grottan, bara för att få göra vandringen dit! 😄 👍🏻

[@michaellk2254]

Incredible

[@e_mautrey463]

Amazing cave...you guys are wild....my biggest question is how in the hell do you get back up!!?? Obviously you climb but how....

[@michaelisaksson4488]

Thats the coolest thing about this cave! Since there are several entrances (one on top and two on the bottom part) you exit at the fjord and dont need to climb back up again. :)

[@stanislawdrapala9596]

Great video, is cave completely explored or still required work to finish it???

[@kruimels]

How cold or warm is it in the cave?

[@spicyclyde]

Is this all shale? It doesn't look like conventional limestone

[@jeffreyklaproth7794]

Great video! Common guys you took some unnecessary risks with that equipment. Guys you gotta be smarter than that, Im sure you’ve got people that really care about you, I don’t know you but we have a similar interest so I care, be safe, take it from a stranger on youtube!😊

[@markdougherty8203]

There are some quite serious issues with your vertical equipment and techniques. Abseiling with no prussik (or you could use an autolock descender), only one cowstail, no rope jammers or prussik system to go back up if needed, abseiling with big packs and no chest harnesses.....well it's a long list.

[@michaelisaksson4488]

Yes, this was a calculated risk as stated in the video. Hopefully nobody will use these techniques to model upon :)

[@markdougherty8203]

Once Covid-19 is over I suggest you sign up for some courses in SRT run by Sveriges Speleologförbund. I've heard the head instructor is a nice guy :-) You are all welcome!

[@e_mautrey463]

@@markdougherty8203 you sure are proud of yourself!

[@markdougherty8203]

@@e_mautrey463 maybe. But the important thing is to point out dangerous technique and make a constructive suggestion as to how to learn to do things safely. You are welcome to join a course too if you like.

[@avgrim7729]

That cave is haunted!!

[@Marco-gx7ok]

Wouldn't it be more like the longest cave but not the deepest, if the exit at the bottom is at sealevel? :-O At the beginning i thought, that they would have to go back the whole way!

[@andrewternet8370]

Does caving ever map in 3D? Most maps seem to be 2D- do caves just not extend that must in the other direction, or is there another way of representing it?

[@TheDJLionman]

yes, caveman hikes did a video where he used LIDAR to map a cave in full 3D more commonly cavers just sketch the map on paper but occasionally someone full on maps it in 3D, one of the struggles is of course every peice of gear you gotta drag through the cave slows you down exponentially.

[@pbolsson8664]

Hur mycket av repen sitter där permanent vs satte ni upp?

[@michaelisaksson4488]

Var bara några enstaka ställen vi valde att rigga egna rep, men de som sitter är inte att lita på till 100% längre.

[@MrHistorian123]

Caving has about the same appeal to me as exploring the inside of someone else's nostrils with my finger.

[@bengarciamusic4life]

You ever find any gold??

[@slap_A_flamingo]

From top to bottom, how deep is this cave?

[@igotskunkyfunky]

If you payed attention you'd know it's 580m vertical depth

[@thomaslavin3640]

582 meters is like 1982 ft like about a half mile deep ?? OMFG CRAZY DANGEROUS ...

[@slap_A_flamingo]

@@thomaslavin3640 that's insane. Would be an experience to do. Don't think I'm that brave though.

[@karenemahar1724]

Do u even watch movies like,The Desent or other horror cave movies before u go just for fun...:)

[@aventyrskonsulterna]

Satan va coolt! Är det många trånga passager? (klaustrofobikern). ;) EDIT: (kanske skulle kollat klart på filmen först, ser nu att det är en del trånga passager.) :)

[@michaelisaksson4488]

Den trängsta delen var ändå i slutet där ingen av oss vågade filma. Extra obehagligt eftersom vi hade fötterna först och inte kunde se vart vi hamnade. Lyckligtvis hann man iaf känna när kanten på en bottenlös spricka närmade sig... 😁
