Caving
Guide Single Pitch
An outdoor activity consisting of moving through a natural cave (a natural cave is one which is in its natural state and does not have prepared walkways or pre-placed lighting) and ascent or descent from one level within the cave to another. In this activity, any ascents or descents would involve distances of no greater than one rope length, or "pitch". The activity requires the ability to know where you are within the cave, at all times and by use of a map and compass, to be able to find the best way to move from one location to another within the cave.
