Travertine, you a caver? Smiley

I usually use a flask.  Or a nalgene.  Took a girl out to the olympics to hike up the Elwah a ways...brought wine in a couple of Nalgenes.  She dug it and we both got drunk without having to suck any kind of dampened pack...

Totally a caver.  Not so many good caves around here, so I fly to former home turf in KY a couple of times a year for the best caving in the world.  Many of the same skills apply, such as packing beverages in containers that are not going to fail in mid trip.

Nice!  It's good for teaching rope work - parallels with jugging/crevasse rescue too.  That's awesome!  I just watched the Planet Earth series "Caves" the other night...made me want to go drop some vert in a different way! Wink

"caves" is ridiculously rad.
