Caving Equipment and Vendors
This a list of manufacturers and stores I have some experience with. There are many other great places to get equipment; this simply lists some reputable places to compare with if you start shopping.
Several kinds of outdoor equipment. Climbing and vertical equipment are the items commonly used by cavers. They also manufacture quite a few items here in Utah.
