Adventure Caving
£75
A true underground challenge. Adventure caving combines the exhilaration of underground abseils and ladder climbing, a step beyond the beginner caving experience. Using specialist ladders and safety line techniques, we’ll delve deeper and go further to explore some of the Peak District’s most fascinating cave systems.
You’ll descend using abseils and traverses along high ledges, explore the heart of the cave, then climb back out on roll-up caving ladders. A safety line stays attached to you throughout. For a beginner’s-eye view of what caving day actually involves, read Caving into Pressure.
If the ladders and abseils sound like a step too far, Beginner Caving is the friendlier place to start.
What to Expect:
Descend into the cave using abseils and traverses along high ledges then, after exploring the heart of the cave, return to the surface, climbing our roll up caving ladders.
What to Bring:
- Clothing you don't mind getting mucky in the caves
- Snacks for energy
All safety equipment is provided
