Yeah, I think a tall cliff (or tower), and less confinement (in the cave
it was just drop without using the wall, or to shuffle along the wall due
to another wall right behind you) would be much nicer.  I'm told that Fort
Indian Town Gap has a 150 foot tower, and it is much closer to me.  But, I
don't know.  It seems that something natural would be more interesting.

I'll do it again, but it most likely isn't going to be a major hobby for
me.  My major motivation was that my girlfriend commented that she would
like to try it sometime.
