At first glance the only way to get into this drain is to jump in the river and get all wet. Twenty feet in however theres a manhole allowing access if you've got about thirty feet of rope and are willing to rappel down.
Looking back up at the manhole. The rope is affixed to a nearby tree.
This drain was big. I'd guess nine or ten feet tall.
Someone unhooking from the rope after the rappel. Notice the quality harness: a five dollar piece of webbing. But hey, whatever works right?
We found three things in this drain. A mouse, a beer can, and this pair of panties. I think this guy is checking to see if they would fit.
Drains that head off underneath campus. Nothing too exciting here except a rotting squirrel.
This was our alternate exit if some evil person snatched our rope while we were away.
Someone beginning his climb out. 5mm perlon cord kicks ass.

Someone else ascending.
The last of the group beginning his ascent.
Everyone smile, group photo time!
