so it’s not hard to feel great awe when you see some caves like this ‘conquered’, knowing the effort it must have taken :-)
Mammoth Cave isn’t “conquered” – not by a long shot! They explored eight more miles of it for the first time just three years ago (and have apparently added six more without making the news since then, since the total is now 426), and estimate there may be another 600 miles yet unexplored.

Oh, ok grue, but I said “caves like this” and there are tours through the Mammoth caves. So what would you suggest I call it? Partly tamed?
Seems reasonable!
Yeah, but most of those 600 miles are just a maze of twisty little passages, all alike.
Sounds like an adventure!
Perhaps the 3-day-no-poop challenge guy was one of these cave explorers?
