With expert guidance and instruction, take part in comprehensive technique training sessions. Conducted both above and below ground, enhancing your self-reliance in Vertical Caves and Pot Holes.

Tackle multiple self-protected, technical abseils, down vertical shafts into underground chambers, passing all forms of technical rope work on route.
