Complete Caving Manual

by Andy Sparrow Sp

The irresistible appeal of caves is obvious from the enduring popularity of commercialized dark, mysterious and beautiful, the hidden world of caves draws the visitor ever deeper. However, although it is 'one small step' from the concrete path to the rugged cave floor and from tourist to caver, it is a step that most are reluctant to take. Those few who do venture into the wild cave discover a world of spectacular halls, grottoes, rivers and waterfalls. Since the publication of the first edition in 1997, The Complete Caving Manual has become the definitive handbook for British cavers. This fully revised edition has been comprehensively updated and the text is complemented by an entirely new selection of colour photographs.

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.
