The Ario Dream
When one of the cavers came back to meet his friends, my child exclaimed – oh its a team. Upon further study, I understood why caving is done in teams. It is a dangerous activity, hence just like mountaineering where few reach the summit while the rest of the team waits at the base camp, caving too is a staged attempt.
When they showed how it is hard to do caving during the day because of the too bright light, it made sense to do caving with the headlight in the dark.
I liked the team’s focus on the objective of connecting the various caves instead of exploring the caves deeply. Something is to be said for the first human steps laid on a land.
They move so lithely, like fish in coral reef.
Very small details like the clipped edge of a small label so the cavers can know which direction to trace back shows you how prepared they have to be.
Have not heard of a rebreather before.
It is amazing to flash your light on the twine and then at some point find the wound twine and be the person to roll it further to make way for the next diver.
