Caving
Instructor Multi 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 any level within the cave to any other level within th cave. In this activity, any ascents or descents may involve distances of 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. The qualification requires the ability to impart knowledge and skills to enable the participants to independently participate in the activity.
