“Deep underground in Ellison’s Cave is a 488-foot pitch dropping into the famous TAG Hall of Pigeon Mountain, Georgia,” writes Your Shot photographer Ethan Reuter. “After traversing, climbing and crawling through small passage with heavy rope and gear, we found ourselves in an 18-inch stream crawl that jets out over a seemingly bottomless chasm. Unable to rappel out of this crawl, bolts were placed across the loose edge, where this photograph was captured with an old-style Sylvania No. 3 flashbulb.” Photograph by Ethan Reuter
