Unknown flood risk
La Trinidad, Xilitla, San Luis Potosi
Some say this pit located near Xilitla is one of the best caves in North America. It is definitely a very unique pit, with a jungle with 100ft tall trees at the bottom and couple waterfalls around the walls.
The main anchor is an overhanging rock with several bolts as backups (you will need to bring your own hangers).
