Now, within that statement there is a piece of advise that a lot of us seem
to forget.  There is ALWAYS something to learn or refine.  You stop
learning when you close your eyes and ears.  Take the best from both worlds
and put it to work for you.  I don't frequent caves, but I can appreciate
the simplistic and streamlined approach that cavers strive for.
Considering that wrecks have at least the same potential for snagging
poorly attached or placed gear couldn't something be learned?  I think so.
