I thought I would take a minute to introduce myself and give a bit of background.
I go by Abby Normal on this forum, other names on other forums and in real life...
I've been exploring for about 5 or 6 years now. I started with pretty simple mines and have progressed into more challenging ones. Along the line I have added vertical exploration as well. I did some climbing earlier in life but hadn't done any in years. Serious mine exploring pretty well requires rope work so I refreshed my skills and repurchased all my gear.
Most of my exploring has been in the desert southwest, although I did travel to England a couple of years ago to explore some of the mines there. It was a truly amazing trip, including an underground zip line across a flooded stope, crossings over flooded stopes where the "bridge" was nothing but a piece of rail, a rappel into a boat for another water crossing. Seriously fun stuff.
I'm always open for some underground exploring. If you are planning on a trip to Vegas, give me some lead time and if my calendar is clear we can meet up.
Cheers!

Do you mean the croesor rhosydd trip? If so thats in Wales not England (yes there is a difference) and those are chambers not stopes ;)

My first "exploration" was underground, albeit a subway tunnel. I've always had a fascination with caves, and once I started exploring abandoned buildings mines were just a natural progression.
Most of the stuff we have around here in Ontario (and by "around here", I mean 8-12 hours away) is flooded, capped, or otherwise inaccessible, but there are a few hidden gems. I'm also an avid diver and am working towards my cave certification so that I can start diving some of these flooded workings.
