Last Friday was spent in DCC where the participants of Women Of The Underground got to meet and try a some ladder climbs and ascents and descents using Single Rope Technique. They also got to ask very important questions like 'how cold will it be?
This weekend we ran The Women Of The Underground. The first all-female try-SRT and try-caving event we have done. The joy of all these new cavers was palpable and all caught on film, coming soon. More on our Insta and FB. #WomenInSportIRE @sportireland @burrenoutdoors
