Before you go in a cave don't go alone and don't go without any guide. It is very important. It is dangerous. The real sport here is always try to go in the best cave and in fact in Hungary the best cave is about 250 meters and if you want to go in a deeper cave you have to go to Italy, you have to travel a lot to get in and of course you need to bring more equipment, more rope and some other things to build in for scaling down and climbing up. You have to use hardness and other things to climb and for going down. The other thing is mountain climbers are climbing up to reach the top peak, the key here is to try to reach the bottom so it is the same situation here if two cavers are meeting and you say what was the best point for you and one says 220 meters and the other says mine was 600 meters and in this way they sometimes check each other?s records.
