The man rescued from a pit in Ellison's Cave in Walker County is still in critical condition.
An 80-person rescue team retrieved 54-year-old Dwight Kempf from the cave, which is one of the deepest in the United States.
This wasn't the Pennsylvania man's first journey through Ellison's cave, however. He also visited the cavern in November 2011.
