    It's my favorite thing to tell people when I go cave diving... That and "I just finished my PADI Advanced Full Cavern - limits me the ability to do two blind jumps and I don't have to run a primary".

    And you must be one of those people who are young at heart; I have friends in their THIRTIES (which is still old) who are diving SM.

We played around in the "Squirrel" (Tetris) Fissure and decided not to try the jump just before Chicken Head rock to avoid low overheads... Sorry for holding you back Beth. If I ever get old enough to have to switch to sidemount we can go wherever you want. : D
    The one that starts across from Youngs Siphon is not backmountable... not without a significant amount of plowing atleast. This is the one I call Squirrel Passage. It starts across the mainline from Young's(which is backmount) and the line runs all the way to chickenhead rock.

    When's the last time you were in there, Mat? I've been in there a few times in the last couple months, most recently a couple weeks ago. Sadly enough, it's backmountable now. The "restriction" is about the height of the restriction in Young's Siphon.
