Squeezes Cave

Length: 60m  |  Grade: 5C  |  Surveyed: 1983-12-01

Above the Amphitheatre, on the northern side, is a low ridge. In this ridge are three small caves which may once have been joined.

Squeezes, Edward's Limit — Extension: 42m, Height: 6m

Squeezes consists of two sections, the northern passage and the southern chimney section, known as Edward's Limit. The northern passage is 25m long, has a sandy floor, and soft, white sandstone walls. Towards the end of the cave, the passage is split into two, by a column which reaches from the floor to the low ceiling.

A stream emerges from the northern wall near the entrance to the cave, flows across the floor, and through a low passage to the Edward's Limit section of the cave. In Edward's Limit, cave changes from being a low, sandy floored passage, to a tall, narrow slot, with a wide base. An entrance at the top of the slot gives the cave a chimney like appearance.
