tL's phOTOGRAPH_oF_tHE_dAY #1103 - Jim White’s ladder. This wire ladder was installed in 1924 during a 6 month exploration of Carlsbad Caverns in New Mexico. Built by Jim White, the first cave guide, the ladder descends 90 feet further down. Early explorers felt uneasy dangling in this dark pit on this swaying ladder, which is “still there”.
