5.0 out of 5 stars Great introduction to caving and useful for intermediates, 11 Aug 2000

By	ian@scion.co.uk (Colne, Lancashire) - See all my reviews

A very good book for the beginner. I bought this book because I needed more information about knots, tackle and general techniques. Climbing and descending techniques are discussed, along with a great emphasis on safety.

Do not buy this book if you want a guide or anecdotal discussion on the longest caves etc.

This is a straightforward reference for anybody who goes caving or potholing.

5.0 out of 5 stars A fact packed, interesting, well written piece of literature, 6 Dec 2000

By A Customer

Sparrow has produced an excellent all round manual for the novice and experienced caver. A wide range of topics are covered in sufficient depth to be both informative, and interesting.

Anyone considering taking up caving would be well advised to purchase a copy of this book. Similarly, anyone currently involved in caving is bound to pick up or brush up on some techniques and practices.
