The Blogger scrolling format can be a bit tedious. Split this post to three shorter "chapters" to break the monotony. A bit more climbing and other adventures:
White Mountains, NH
Miscellaneous Climbing
Casparis (Opperman) Cave entrance.
Caving
Goodman was an experienced and competent caver. I'd ventured into a few local Western PA caves with 'em - Casparis (Oppermans), Brooks Spring, Lemon Hole, Bear Cave. Remember crawlin' into some short passage up near Hillside Quarry with 'em. About ten feet in, crawlin' along, scraped my back along the ceiling. Soon swatted a spider big as a tarantula off my neck. Shined my light up at the ceiling, settin' about a foot above head. Was blanketed wall to wall with big, crawlin' wolf spiders. He used to make trips down to caving mecca Germany Valley located in Monongahela National Forest, WV. Used to come back with photos of some big drops he was doin'. Personally never partook in any of those.
Checkin' out the 150ft vertical entrance opening to Hellhole Cave in WV. Not far from Seneca. Probably around '82. It's long since been fenced closed and declared off-limits by the property owner.
