<p><u>Please read the cave (and route) descriptions before registering. </u>All trips will require WNS decontaminated gear for the first trip of the weekend. A decon station will likely be present for cleaning gear between trips. Trip leaders will reach out to attendees they don&#39;t know to confirm their ability for the trip. Some caves require long hikes, some vertical proficiency, and some require both! Ultimately participation in a guided trip is at the leader&#39;s sole discretion.</p>

Event Text
<p>Caves are unimproved containing many dangers and inherent risks which can include, but are not limited to, the following: Terrain hazards include, but are not limited to, wet slippery floor surfaces, irregular and uneven footing, loose rocks, narrow ledges above deep drop-offs, open unprotected deep pits, pits that can be entered and exited only by rappelling climbing a rope, loose/falling rocks, potential cave-ins, and tight spaces requiring one to crawl. There have been accidents and fatalities from falling into naturally occurring pits. Do not go near a pit edge unless you are trained in safe rope descending and ascending techniques. Do not get close to any area where there is a drop off to the bottom. Be very cautious and careful. Isolation dangers include, but are not limited to, the cave is not manned by supervisory personnel, no one is here to warn you of specific dangers, medical or rescue help may be no closer than the nearest town, no quick medical help for a critical injury, and your cell phone will not work in the cave and probably will not work in the preserve. Equipment failures can include, but are not limited to, harnesses, ropes, bolts, or ascenders may break, equipment can be lost in a stream or pit, and your light can get wet and fail. External rainy conditions affect cave conditions; even at the best of times, caves can be cold, damp, and wet &ndash; rain outside the cave can make these worse causing increased seepage, more hazardous footing, flowing water, mud, and flash flooding. I agree to all liability for this activity by submitting this registration.</p>
