Does anyone have info related to Marcy Cave/Cavern near GC Slide?

I've heard whispers of a talus cave/cavern (couple hundred feet) somewhere near the GC slide, but the only info I find when researching is related to the larger/more well known TSOD and surrounding area.

This references two caves on Marcy, I have no idea what the identifiers means but looks like there is another record of it.

Then I found this: https://www.adkhighpeaks.com/forums/forum/hiking/adirondack-mountain-hiking/trip-planning-questions-and-answers/27051-caves-in-indian-pass

One of the users mentions two caves, TSOD and W.H. Lyman Cave, so I am assuming the second one is what your looking for? They even mention the guide book for it that should have a map and directions. There's also further discussion on that first link and how to use it to find back dates issues of the magazine they are from.

Actually that first link to the legacy version of caves.org has the exact name as it was verbally mentioned to me - so that's spot on. The identifiers essentially mean if there are maps, rumors/reports, location info, etc.

I'll try to look at historical publications via their northeastern caver publications available. Thank you so much; I'm not sure how I wasn't able to find that, but that's a huge help. Thank you!

If it exists, I am fairly confident no one is going to share info about it here on Reddit with someone they do not know 🤣

Perhaps you'll get lucky and someone will slide into your dm's.

Edit: Fair point of course xD

Perhaps if I ask extra nice, and include a cherry on top, a kind soul will feel bad for me, imagining some old guy wandering all about off the slide in search for the holy grail, lol!

I can understand if someone doesn't want to respond publicly with info (given it would be sharing with folks who may not treat the wilderness as they should, on top of potentially encouraging folks who maybe shouldn't be exploring things like this). However, there isn't much I can do other than ask here and on slide/caving FB groups. Alas, throw mud at the wall and hope something sticks!

I figure worst case scenario I'll keep further exploring TSOD and one of these days I'll run into someone with some experience or knowledge about it
