The word caver is preferred to spelunker and caving is preferred to spelunking.
Livesey was not only a top rock climber but also a fell-runner, athlete, caver, canoeist and orienteer.
The cave continues beyond, and is open to the experienced caver.
However, capping requires the caver to manually strike the firing pin which may result in injury.
The cavern was the site of a fatal accident in 1960, when a young caver was hit by rock-fall.
Knee pads, and less commonly, elbow pads are worn both to protect the caver and the caver's clothing.
Further passage takes the caver downwards towards the canyon.
The caver's primary light source is usually mounted on the helmet in order to keep the hands free.
