The Chasm Of Doom a scramble, squeeze, craw, and climb inside a granite maze amongst giant boulders. This secret set of tunnels and passageways is not for the faint of heart or the claustrophobic and It requires you to be comfortable climbing, scrambling and bouldering in the dark please exercise extreme caution.
