Cancord is pleased to be supplying all the rope used in the 2009 J2 Caving Expedition
The Mission: The expedition will stage out of Austin, Texas the last week of February of 2009 and will be in the field for three months. The primary objective of the expedition in March 2009 will be to explore Sump 3 in J2, establish subterranean Camp 4 in the air-filled tunnels beyond, and extend exploration toward the hypothesized central trunk corridor inside the Sierra Juárez. Should this effort be successful the effort in April and May will focus on extending exploration of the trunk tunnel south towards Cheve and north to the resurgence springs. A connection with Cueva Cheve will produce a cave system more than 2 kilometers in depth. The integration of the entire system will produce a 2,597-meter-deep cave and would represent the deepest natural abyss yet discovered.
