Caves of the Canadian Rockies and Columbia Mountains

This guidebook to the caves of the Canadian Rockies and the Columbia Mountains covers both sides of the BC/Alberta border, spanning an area from as far south as the Crowsnest Pass and as far north as the Prince George area. The first Canadian caving guide, it offers extensive information for each cave, including location, cave survey, history of exploration, access maps and all the necessary technical details needed for safe exploration.

Disclaimer

This book is intended for experienced cavers: the information in it is incomplete and may be inaccurate.

Caving can be dangerous. Most caves contain drops and loose rock. Accidents occurring underground are compounded by the inability for conventional rescue to take place. An injured person could wait several days for help to arrive. At present there is no cave rescue organization based in the Canadian Rockies.

It is also assumed that the reader is fully con­versant with alpine travel and the use of climbing equipment needed to access the caves.
