    So when I was in the Boy Scouts one of the dads organized a "cave exploring" trip, and I assumed it'd be like some luray caverns type BS where you just walk around some lighted trails and look at pretty rocks. No, we were doing actual spelunking. Like we all put fucking jumpsuits and head lamps on and had to crawl through muddy tunnels. I remember getting turned around on the way out and IDK if we took a different route but there was this section I hadn't remember going through where I had to get down and crawl through a three foot wedge in the rock, that then ended with having to scramble up a five foot rock wall where I barely had the clearance to stand up.

    Yeah caving is intense.

      i did something similar but for a summer geology explorer course! we had to do a crawl that looked like the picture on this post. and we had to scramble over this 2 foot wide chasm that went down like 50ft into the darkness, basically daisy chaining over it. i loved every second of it but i'm fucking weird when it comes to caves. i would live in caves if i could
