Part 2/9:
On June 24th, 1967, a group of ten cavers prepared to explore Mossdale Cavern in search of deeper passages. Among them were two experienced leaders familiar with the cave's layout; however, the cave presented more challenges than anticipated. After a few hours inside, four cavers chose to return to the surface, where they noticed worsening weather. Meanwhile, the remaining six cavers pressed on, reaching a narrow passage known as the Far Marathon.
