    If you don’t know about the Nutty Putty cave, it’s a cave system that has now been permanently closed after the horrible death of a caver who got stuck there. Look up details at your own peril. The name “Nutty Putty” is unrelated to the death and references the putty-like soft clay found in many of the passages, so you may cleanse yourself of any horrid mental images brought upon by speculation on the name.

      Having read about it just now, the cause of death isn’t as bad as I thought it would. A tragedy still the last caver to have died in that cave.

        I have definitely seen more horrifying deaths written about, anyway. I think it’s one of those things where reading a brief summary of it may not immediately evoke existential chills in those not already prone to cave-related phobias, but I wouldn’t want to watch a 15-minute video breakdown of the situation.
