"This course was more informative and useful than the introductory course I took in the U.S. It was perfectly challenging and fun. Thank You!!" - Leanne Arcuri, Introduction to Rock Climbing, January 2010

Introduction to Vertical Caving

Scrambling around inside of caves is a lot of fun, but what do you do when you come to a hole in the ground? A big hole?

This course will help you find the answer to that question. Develop the skills to assess an opening, build an anchor, and descend into a cave safely (and get back out!). In this course, you will be taught Single Rope Techniques (SRT) in the Anxiety State Crisis Cave at Crazy Horse Buttress, a beautiful and massive cavern that lies in the heart of the mountain.

This caving course is a true introduction, and will give you a survey of the basics of caving. In addition to the technical rope aspects, our instructors will introduce you to the local geology and and explain the formation of the fantastic flow stones, stalactites, and stalagmites that will surround you all day. The goal of this course is for rigorous, comprehensive, technical instruction to combine with a beautiful backdrop to teach SRT in a safe, awe-inspiring, and fun way.

Your day will begin with basic rigging techniques as you prepare your equipment and rig the ropes for your 40 meter descent into the earth. Once inside the cave, explore massive caverns, crawl through tight squeezes and make your way deep into the hillside that many never see. Enjoy a delicious Thai lunch of sticky rice, northern Thai sausage in the company of bats by the light of your headlamp. Finish your day by ascending the rope back to the surface using SRT .

CMRCA's Introductory Caving courses are completely independent and can be taken in either order. Both courses, or equivalent experience, are prerequisites for the Exploratory Caving course.
