Aeolus Bat Cave is currently closed until a proper management plan can be implemented. The VCA is doing its best to ensure that the cave will be reopened to cavers. The VCA is asking cavers to be responsible and abide by the closure. As with any negotiation process, irresponsible acts can seriously jeopardize the situation and make it more difficult to regain access.
