Caving is a popular recreational sport offering a close look at some of nature's most interesting geological formations. For many years "spelunking" was the favored term for describing those who explored caves with or without ropes and climbing equipment. Now, however, "cavers" are identified as experienced and knowledgeable cave explorers, while "spelunkers" are hobbyists who do not know as much about the dangers or techniques of caving. "Potholing" is a term catching on for using ropes to climb vertical caves or holes.
