I've got a friend who was offered an appointment to West Point while he was in the Army in the early 1960s. The catch was that because he had bad acne, he would have to have his face sanded since West Point don't want no ugly graduates. He declined their "generous" offer.
 
I guess caving has become more concerned with outward appearances than with "inner beauty".

And to Mike's credit, he does still go underground, but he now lives and 
caves in Montana. He also has a colorful nylon cave suit. He's retired and is 
a man of means it seems. I was talking about underground Texas these days.

your day, there are some tatoos, and over all they are lean and muscular. 
You've been looking at who shows up at TCR and think they still go in caves.

I notice in the trailers that the intrepid group is all spiffed out in seemingly new REI-like toggery. No old clothes .. and everyone's makeup is perfect. What a crock.. aren't there any Gabby Hayes-like (or Marjorie Main-like) scruffy sorts available for these acting gigs?

RE: [Texascavers] Will new film "Sanctum" be the "Vertical Limit" of Caving?

[Kurt L. Menking]

When the IMAX Amazing Caves movie came out years ago several of the Bexar 
Grotto cavers met with the local IMAX theater and volunteered to do some 
rappelling or Tyrolean traverse stunts on the nearby buildings.  Several 
options were discussed but ultimately the rope work was scratched.  They did 
however invite all local cavers to watch the movie for free before it was 
officially released.  They asked several of us to dress up in our gear for 
several showings.  It was fun and I got to see the movie several times for free.

Fofo's right. Denise and I will surely show this movie poolside this 
summer (or whenever it comes out on DVD). The drinking game is a great idea.


And at our poolside theater, everything will be in 3D except the movie.

It seems to have all of the earmarks of an exploitation style hack

Backwards, Aussie-style rappelling. All that seems to be missing is 
the nitro.


So who's going to go see it? I'll wait for your reviews.

RE: [Texascavers] Will new film "Sanctum" be the "Vertical Limit" of Caving?

[Scott Boyd]

We also know it's for entertainment (to make money), not a documentary 
accurately portraying caving techniques. (Did you expect it to be accurate 
and/or realistic Tim?)

Caves are in 3D, so the 3D movie must be realistic, right?

Whadda you expect? It's from James Cameron, most recently of Avitar fame. Let's 
face it guys, it's not a film for cavers, it's a film for thrill seekers who 
want to confirm in their own minds that you have to be crazy to be a caver. 
AND, IT'S IN 3D!!!
Well, you don't have to be crazy, but it helps.
