Meg at the start of the "Devils Den" cave. From here the fissure goes back horizontally for 30-40 feet, then escape is made by ascending a 14' +/- ladder. One can also exit by continuing left at the ladder, chimneying up towards daylight, and then popping out of a smallish hole atop a sizable drop off.<br> <br> Headlamp or flashlight recommended for your first time exploring the cave.

Meaghan ascends the ladder to escape the Devils Den cave. The ladder, maybe 14 feet tall, is wedged in a tight confine and most people climb it with their back on the opposite wall to stabilize the "wobble." Above the ladder, a couple easy scrambling moves lead to the top.
