Nearly 30 years since the original print but I feel like this is still a great introduction to British Caving. Tonnes of useful information. I still have no idea how SRT works.

Really glad the Trac/Alberta library system had this available. Superb book for anyone getting into caving that wants to add more value to their knowledge and insights into applying other's experience into your learning.
