The slope continues down to the subway passage where the register is located and also where it gets slippery so a 200ft rope is good to have rigged from the top.
The cave itself is around 600ft in length so it is not that long but it makes up for that length in the decorations and formations that color and drape the walls.

The hike to get up to the cave can be quite steep and would be a slight beat down session in the heat of the summer but once inside the cave, you would be cooled off and its a great place to escape the heat.

You can snake the rope down as far as your rope length will allow you which will give you some assist in reaching the formations due to the muddy and slippy nature of the cave slope.
