Secret Elevator Deep In a CAVE! - WE FOUND THE TOP!

[@anthonysummerfield3702]

I was having a panic attack just watching this video. I can feel the weight of rock and stone above my head and the pressure of utter panic and fear and yet I'm sitting comfortably in my living room freaking out. Thanks for the experience. lol And thanks for a terrific video, l enjoy them very much.

[@BrandonGross]

Thank you so much!

The amount of running water it took to carve all those smooth walls is scary.

[@BrandonGross]

Seriously!! It is!

[@just-another-guy]

@@BrandonGross my first thought when you hit the water was, I hope it doesn't rain now. Fantastic vid guys.

[@OldschoolRed]

Well the planet is kinda old so no telling how long those streams have been carving out that rock. Lol

[@killabyte8669]

imagine someone died down there thousand of years ago but the water just eroded their skeleton the same as the rock

[@19crash84]

Here is some info. The shed was built sometime in the mid-late 2000s previously it was just two doors that opened on the side of the mountain. On the other side of the doors is a passageway that is 700 feet long and it leads to the elevator and also the commercial cave. The passageway is manmade and serves as a backup entry and exit point for the commercial cave. They used to every October have a haunted attraction in this passageway. You would ride the elevator down, walk through said passageway, and be chased by someone with a chainsaw onto a bus. Then you would ride the bus back up to where the commercial your started.

Where is this?

That’s awesome! Thanks for the info!!

I have a question is the elevator for the LM cave the same as the commercial caverns elevator? As in does it go deeper or is it 2 separate elevator shafts

[@sweetcharlemaigne2335]

@@matveiorsak9994 thank you, pretty poor descriptions

[@neogator26]

When I was in Scouts as a kid we use to go to Tumbling Rock cave in Tennessee. It is a wild sacrificial cave and the only opening was on private property. Our group was the only group that had permission to actually spend the night inside the cave. We would generally go with one of our local cave rescue workers that I have understood to be nationally recognized. The cave is at least 4 miles long and has a 700' mountain INSIDE the cave, a tall dome that no-one has found the top as of yet and a large hole big enough to put an entire 747 inside. I have no clue who has ownership of the land at this point since it is unlikely the original owners are still alive.

[@Ty_Conway]

Tumbling rock is awesome. Been there several times

[@neogator26]

@@Ty_Conway I'd love to go back, I haven't been there in years. I have no clue who owns the land at this point.

[@joejones9520]

there are lava tube caves on the moon that the Empire St. building could fit in. There are theories that these could be used for human habitation someday.

[@tasnimhassan2323]

It was so scary to even watch this video. I could totally feel Crystal's breakdown, I screamed outta joy when she made it out. You two are so brave and strong! Also the excitement in both of your voices after finding the water! Great Job!

[@thomasbeastgrider]

So glad you made a video of a local spot that resulted in the spot being closed off.

[@user-fx7ud9cp4t]

The cave mapped length is 2.481 miles but unofficially reports of 12 miles and if you want to believe the legends it says is 82 miles long. So it’s really long

[@kookyjoeb5524]

Was it a mine? If so what kind? I am curious as to the history

Visited the commercial cave, with my daughter Hailey, fantastic experience. On visiting, had noticed the elevator shed so seeing what was there (which had intrigued) is appreciated!

[@travisd6157]

I won’t ask for the location to be disclosed, but can you say what state this is in. I have a pretty good idea, but was hoping to confirm! Thank you!

[@wildmouse5888]

I love it! Crystal just HAS to know where that passage goes; so, by God, you're GOING! She is a natural push caver.

[@randycane5894]

I feel ya on exiting the cave. I think the most alive I've felt was coming out of a cave after 6 or 8 hours into the bright daylight and snow, it was magical.

[@BrandonGross]

Thank you!

[@destructoau7526]

Crystal you are bold! Both of you are. This cave is epic!

[@xlValkyrielx]

Y’all bring back so many memories of my childhood. I grew up in south Middle Tennessee in the Tennessee valley. We had a cave on my grandparents property but it was small and ended in a small water chute. As a teenager we used to go down into an old cave/mine. We were unaware that the mine was shut down in the 50’s for stability issues. Puts light on how much one valued their life. The only time I’ve ever been through anything like that was at Cumberland Caverns going through bubble gum alley and fat mans squeeze. I never used to have issues with claustrophobia but y’all make me lose my mind. Of course hearing about Nutty Putty cave makes it that much worse.

[@jasmeen86]

yeh Cool can't wait to see this🔥

[@papaoneal2260]

Great video Brandon, I am not a cave person but found myself wanting to go and check it out. And Crystal is impressive, you could see that she was struggling towards the end but then, bam, panic gone, lets do this! Could have been a nice editing job, but it was still impressive, nothing shakes that girl.

[@cayankeelord3730]

I could never do this at my age now, but I really appreciate you both for taking me along on this epic underground journey. I will remain an "armchair" spelunker, thanks again for the experience !

Wow, what an adventure 💜💙 loved it guys 💕

[@nickschaf9962]

I've read comments elsewhere that what you found as the top of the elevator is now used as the emergency exit for the commercialized section of the cave. When their elevator breaks down, they have people exit at that spot and they are bussed back to the visitor center.

[@BrandonGross]

That’s interesting!

[@Jzex]

U guys crazy crawling around like that underground, takes a different type of courage to do that !

Nice! Thank you for showing the top, as well as deeper inside.. I figured out where it was located, after seeing your first video. Looks like a rad cave system. If I'm ever in the area, I'm definitely checking out the "other cave". 😉 Cheers

[@BrandonGross]

Haha thanks for not sharing the location!!

[@matveiorsak9994]

@@BrandonGross I'm curious why you want the location not shared? I mean it's not like you have any proper cave training, and anyone familiar with the system can spot it in the video and report it to be better sealed from the public. So I am curious why? Thanks.

[@thesixstringshooter]

@@matveiorsak9994 after the videos were made on this cave, i was informed the railroad company was going to seal the cave. They didn't do a very good job, and it is still accessible. Hopefully it'll get a lock so the grotto can use it.

Absolutely breathtaking how the both of you mastered this. I'd be feared to lose track of the way back out with these chasms and fissures looking all the same leading deeper into what could become a silent rocky grave. Plus, I cannot even think of crawling into some narrow crack amidst the guts of the earth. I'd nope out of that place so fast to never be seen again. Thanks for giving such great shivers!

[@richardfinlayson1524]

I like your, life worth living concept, I've always tried to keep the things that motivated me front of mind, so I don't lose track of what I'm actually trying to do. I'm an artist ,I generally paint, but do other stuff too, sometimes it can be tough, financially, but, I tend to be able to deal with that, it is definitely worth it. Take it easy guys, and look after yourself in those tight places.

Wild Caving Mammoth's advanced tour is not too bad, but for 5 hours of caving. Recommendations from another avid caver? Carlsbad Caverns hall of the white giant wild cave tour, Mammoth's advanced tour, Tennessee's Racoon Mountain back of the cave tour into spaces that are this small, 10+ hours and overnight in the cave. Also Devils Den southern Missouri, requires gortex, river cave, passages are navigated on back in water up to chin with ceiling above nose.
