Description Suggest change

With the exit to the cave to your left, use the hanging sharp stalagtites to start and work your way left and then up towards to holes in the top of the cave.  Amazing location, razor sharp rock so be sure to tape up your fingers.  The cave is dusty as others have mentioned.

Location Suggest change

Drive 5 miles down Aiken Mine Road and walk a few hundred feet from the parking area to the cave entrance (you can see the entrance with a metal staircase). Descend the staircase and go left, you have to crouch and go under a rock roof and then the cave quickly opens up into a cavern fed with natural light from the roof.

Protection Suggest change

TR by setting a sling around the arch that spans the roof hole, and back it up with both a second sling/cordalette as the rock is super sharp. Good idea to back it up with natural boulder pro above the hole as well.
