I think the bottom station is around 6400 feet, I’ve only gotten off around 5000 feet but that’s about 2-3 minutes down and probably 4 up. It’s fast enough down that my ears don’t adjust on their own and I have to manually pop my ears about 2-3 times on the way.
Yes, fellow surface-dweller, I see. I’ve been in a few caves and didn’t like the experience. Maybe man-made tunnels are different but I ain’t gonna go find out.
Fresh heading? Gotta scale that to get rid of loose rocks and beware moving machinery. Established area? Already scaled, metal screening installed, and possibly shotcrete added which makes it pretty safe.
There’s offices down there, with AC and whatnot. Just no plumbing in the traditional sense. It’s pretty neat, but I definitely still prefer surface.

Scary stuff, whatever you’re mining, thanks. I couldn’t do it.
No praise needed, it’s gold and I’m not doing the hard work. I’m in a support role and work on surface. But thank you anyways!
