Intro to SRT Outdoor

Equip yourself to explore vertical caves by applying single rope technique (SRT) in Anxiety State Crisis Cave. 

In this course, you will review your basic SRT skills, including ascending and descending.

After reviewing, you will get to immediately apply these skills by rappelling 40 meters (130 feet) into the cave. Once in the depths of the Anxiety State Crisis Cave, you will work along fixed safety lines to explore the beautiful formations and life that exist inside these limestone caves. If you come during our rainy season, you’ll also get the opportunity to trek through an underground lake and see a large population of bats.

As a break from practicing caving techniques, enjoy your locally-made Thai lunch. Your day will then finish with a rope climb out of the cave back into the daylight.
