Caving
In 1985, Steve Knutson
(editor of American Caving Accidents) made the following distinction:
"...Note that I
( Steve Knutson )
use
the term 'spelunker' to denote someone untrained and unknowledgeable in
current exploration techniques, and 'caver' for those who are.
What is
Caving Anyway?
Caving
or spelunking as non-cavers call it, is many
things. The reasons why people go include adventure, sport,
scientific study, companionship, fun, and other things as varied
as the individual cavers. It is one of the few sports in which
you can go places no one has ever been before.
The
most commonly asked question is probably "What
do you find down there?" The answers are as varied
as the caves themselves: mud; beautiful rock formations and
rubble; water and dust; vast rooms and tight crawlways; awesome
rivers and puddles; strange and fragile animals; deep pits and
waterfalls; cold and warm water; and, of course, strange people.
One finds, eventually, whatever one is looking for.
