Join us in watching Clock Tower Grotto on a trip through this wet Classic Tennessee Cave. For this particular expedition, we entered the cave at an entrance which is high up on the mountain and had to rappel six different pits as we made our way down through the mountain and then swim out a very wet bottom entrance. This trip is called a pull-down vertical trip because we rigged the rope in such was way that we detached (or pulled down) the rope after rappelling each pit. The rope is then used again at the next pit. Because the rope is pulled down, cavers have to be certain the cave has another entrance, and know the route through the cave, otherwise they could be trapped inside the cave for days while awaiting a rescue. This type of cave trip is very similar to canyoning (or canyoneering) but inside a cave instead of a canyon.
