    No, you are thinking of the wrong place. This time we are discussing the beginning of that line, 15 feet from the gold line.

    T's are not always the best solution, in fact IMO they are rarely the best solution.

    Is he talking about the start of the Godzilla line ("The Godzilla jump has a single arrow pointing the wrong why at the start of the line.") or the end of the Godzilla line ("at the very beginning of the Godzilla Room jump?")... ? I think of two different locations when you say "Godzilla Jump" vs "Godzilla Room Jump".

    I "assumed" he was talking about 15 feet from the gold line.

    The other line arrow, near the Godzilla room is placed and pointing correctly.

    Just curious-- why do you say that? I would T everything excluding extremely difficult passages and active exploration if it were up to me...It's done that way in most Tallahassee Sinks as well as river caves almost everywhere in FL and it saves a ton of time.

    ... as well as the back half of Jackson Blue (the system I'm most familiar with). As long as they are correctly marked with arrows, I like T's much better.

    That is the issue.

    People should slow down, smell the roses and personally mark their navigational decisions.

    T everything and run the gold line all the way to surface.

    I don't think having T's implies that you can't leave your own marker. I treat T's and jumps the same-- drop a cookie on the exit side, a jump just requires that I make the T myself every-single-time.

    Using guidelines to slow people down isn't something I agree with. I do agree that you should personally mark your navigational decisions.

    ...and Bozel, and Twin, etc.
