Movies about caves show people strolling through walking-height passages, |
|
but usually, a great deal of climbing is required as well, |
| some of it elegant, |
|
|
some not so elegant, |
|
and some elegant but unnecessary! |
|
Cavers try to avoid tight crawlways, but this is not always possible. |
|
| Vertical pits require rappelling and rope climbing skills. |
| Sometimes, technical rock climbing skills are needed, such as placement of expansion bolts. |
| Finding the proper route sometimes requires significant exploration . |
|
Mud sculpture is a popular pastime while waiting for the party to pass an obstacle. |
 | Admiring pretty formations is also a popular activity, until hypothermia starts to set in. |
|
Of course, eating and drinking are also occasionally necessary, from a small dinner party |  |
to a large formal celebration with hundreds of guests. |
