Largely meaningless question.

'

Cavers don't use the word "spelunker", and they don't go looking for "the largest rock"! Largest cave maybe. In any case, a single boulder can obviously be never be as large as the cavity in which it lies. Many very large cave passages and chambers do have enormous boulders lying on their floors, but you rarely see more than part of each boulder anyway because it is usually partially buried by lots more boulders.

'

I do know of - and have seen - one boulder that I believe has been named "Kanchengunja", after the mountain, but from memory it is not ever so much bigger than a large garden-shed. It lies in St Cuthbert's Swallet, a cave in the Mendip Hills of SW England; but it is the cave that is impressive, being both challenging to visit and in places beautiful to view, not its individual boulders.
