Leghini, Dan | Not recorded | Not recorded | Not recorded | Not recorded |
On October 13, a group of five cavers entered Newcastle Murder Hole in Craig County, Virginia. At the Elevator Pit they ascended via the Nasal Passage. Dan Leghini, an experienced rock climber, went last. He did not appear and soon they heard the sound of a fall. They called with no response. They descended to find that he had taken a 25 foot fall down the smooth tube to a chockstone above more drop. He had failed to answer because their question had been 'Are you OK?', and he wasn't sure. He was uninjured and continued.
