A 27 Day Expedition Testimony Beneath a Mountain Comes to Pack Rat

Some people chase adventure on weekends. Matt Covington spent 27 days underground in southern Mexico doing it. This March, he’s bringing that story to Pack Rat. If you’ve ever wondered what it takes to explore one of the world’s deepest known caves, this is your chance to find out.

The Deets

Into the Depths of Sistema Cheve

Covington led a team into Cueva Palomora, a cave near the current terminus of Sistema Cheve in Mexico’s Sierra Juarez range, with one goal: find where Sistema Cheve continues. He’s an Associate Professor of Geosciences at the University of Arkansas, a Fayetteville native, and one of the leading cave researchers in the field.

What to Expect

When you show up on March 16, you’re getting a first-person account of what it actually takes to spend nearly a month beneath a mountain range with no daylight. Covington walks you through the science, the challenges, and the moments that made the expedition worth every day underground. Seating is limited, so bring a folding chair if you have one.

This is a free event, but spots won’t last. Register now and lock in your spot before it fills up.
