Reportwalking is an accessible exploration method of mining Search and Rescue (SAR) reports for new cave leads. We triangulated and surveyed an unexplored pit where SAR extricated a dog and hiker. The main objective was to assess its public safety and conservation risks. Methods included online search querying, terrain association, Single Rope Technique and digital survey. Dollywood Deep measures at 138.1 ft long and 69.2 ft deep, making it one of the longest and deepest known sandstone caves in Washington, with open leads. Reportwalking is an underutilized, yet viable alternative for those seeking a less technical method or those seeking to leave no stone unturned.
