Most other potentially hazardous hobbies (skiing, backcountry hiking, mountain biking, etc) don't catch the negative publicity that caving gets any time someone gets themselves maimed or killed from hitting a tree or falling down a ravine or whatever.
Please understand how grinding it is for us to constantly hear about each jackass who gets themselves hurt or killed. :/ I didn't mean it to come across harshly at you. The write-ups from non-cavers are often ridiculously wrong or poorly stated. Sorry, I meant like perpetuating what news reports and non-rescuers claimed happen. r/alpinism Take hiking to the high slopes Please join the NSS, find your local grotto (cave club) to learn caving and cave locations.įind a caving group in your own country: International Union of Speleology No pictures of cavers without helmets or doing anything else unsafe.Do not POST cave locations (to avoid vandalism and accidents).Do not SOLICIT cave locations (to avoid vandalism and accidents).'Cave Softly: Take only pictures, leave only footprints (in the right places), kill only time.'
