Vortex map?

[fixxervi6]

I dove Vortex Saturday, looked at the map and the map just ends, does anyone know the location of a map that is more complete/up to date?

As far as I know the most current map of Vortex was done by Jason Gulley (copyright 2003). The map ends where the tunnel, at that time, went from no-mount to impassable.

awsome, does anyone know if there has been any exploration beyond what the map shows?

I made it to the room with the T and my comp showed 141 feet, beyond that I figured I needed to show up with my nomad.

As Steve Keene's post indicates - it was not passable beyond a no-mount restriction. That is just about 20 feet past where the map indicates "Exploration continues." Its much, much easier to get back there now with the flow being way down and Ed's rather impressive "vacuuming" efforts but even with the first restriction out of the way, its still seriously ugly back there. With all of the sand that's been moved around down there, the line is probably seriously buried.

I know Eddy has dropped in the restriction in the last "explored" room in a no-mount pony bottle setup - he is more or less a contortionist and he said it was almost too tight. How was the crowd out there? I may head out tomorrow or friday. Sat ill be back out at the mill pond.
