Really awesome, there is nothing like the human figure as a size reference when taking photos in such huge places.

Thanks for sharing. Not being a climber I understand gravity gives you a easy trip down but what about going up?

19

The photos are very nice and I like your adventurous spirit! I say keep’em coming!

20

amazing pics.
makes me want to go do that type of stuff now!

21

Great video and pics man. Looks like a real adventure!

22

Thanks for the comments all :slight_smile:

What goes down must come up… Rope climbing 120 meters is tiring, but because the ascenders lock you just have to stop to rest. Look at about 3 min into this video, it’s the technique I use for ascending ropes with the exception that I use two hand held ascenders instead of one, and mine have handles on them: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SpQ1AC0Ikw

Awesome… I wish I could put my lights to use like this.

24

This is a fascinating post and I am speechless. What a great hobby you have here!

The darkest place my lights have seen would be my engine bay :expressionless:

25

Holy crap, awesome pictures Mike…just gorgeous!

26

Two more photos, this time from an abandoned underground factory and storage facility. Taken quite some time ago… oldies but goldies:

27

have you seen any zombies? :slight_smile:

amazing… both you and the pics…

28

No, but I’ve scared the crap out of a couple of explorers in a dark underground facility who thought they where alone J)

Thanks :slight_smile:

29

Great shots! I like the mine, reminds me of a cave.

30

Cool Pics. Thanks for the entertainment!

31

I will never dare to go to these places alone. :open_mouth:

Nice pictures btw!

32

Your pics are great. Are they free to use for personal use (like FB profiles etc) or you need to pay to use?

33

Thanks for the comments all! :slight_smile:

If you want to use one for personal use I’m fine with it if you tell me which one and can credit me somewhere :slight_smile:

34

Awesome pictures and enjoyable video, thanks for posting. Hope you’re using your lanyards, those flashlights would be a git to get back if you dropped em :smiley:

35

And ofcourse, what’s on the bottom of earth’s butt crack?
Garbage, or should I say crap!!!
Humans, biggest garbage producers in universe :expressionless:

Anyway, like those pics from warehouse.

On the M6 I didn’t use a lanyard. I put a thick keyring through the holes so I could clip it with a carabiner and dyneema sling. I don’t trust those thin lanyards much :slight_smile:

Yeah, it’s depressing to see sometimes. Seen much worse than this one.
