Ready for Godzilla's Nostril?

Article Abstract:

Moaning Cavern is California's biggest single-chambered limestone cavern. Those who want to explore it have to brave narrow rock passages with names such as Godzilla's Nostril, Column Squeeze and Meat Grinder. To get to the bottom of the 180-ft hole, explorers have to free-hang for about 35 ft.
