About caving in the Guadalupe Mountains in the 1930's, August 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Carlsbad Caves and a Camera (Paperback)
If you're a caver or just interested in caving, this book is a lot of fun. The Guadalupe Mountains of New Mexico are home to some of the world's most beautiful caves, including Carlsbad Caverns and Lechuguilla Cave. This book describes Robert Nymeyer's adventures and misadventures with his buddies in the high Guadalupe caves. The descriptions of early vertical caving techniques using lariats and the photographs taken with flash powder are priceless examples of what folks will do when bitten by the exploration bug.

Like Reading A Diary, December 24, 2008
This review is from: Carlsbad Caves and a Camera (Paperback)
I've already wore out 2 previous paperback editions as this book is so fascinating and warrants rereading from time to time. Mr Nymeyer wrote it in a fashion that makes you feel like your along with him on his explorations as well as reading his personal diary.
