A new entrance to the cave had been gained. Exploration trips resumed at the beginning of 1998. Since then mapping trips have found a number of passages the most interesting being the extension of the Nebulous Borehole, and the discoveries of the Over The Top Passage and the Quiet City Trunk. Many of the survey trips into the cave involve camping in the cave, typically two days of survey separated by sleep and two meals. As of the end of the year 2000 the length of the Fisher Ridge Cave System stands at 97 miles.
Many leads have yet to be checked and mapped.
Much more passage will undoubtedly be found. Mapping continues in this and all other parts of the cave system.
