We’ve all used it, lots of cluster references regarding caves, speleothems, and

Yes, we will vote. Any caver whether on one of these lists or not can
make suggestions until Wednesday, so you can pass this on to caver in
other states. I will post a ballot of suggested plural nouns for cavers
on this Thursday. Cavers can send their secret votes to me before the
I think it depends on the group.
A group of expedition cavers would likely be a column of cavers as they have a
purpose and a mission, well regimented and disciplined. Marching off into the
unknown karst for fame and fortune.
A group of recreational cavers would more likely be a giggle of

We now have a dozen creative entries (maybe more from Texas as I just

Clump Mimi Jasek

If it's on Everest, I suggest a trash of mountaineers.

I think we should say a Grotto of cavers. :-)

Good one, Kathy.
Then should we also have an ascent of mountaineers?

Lee, all,
Moving away from the column or row idea, how about a descent of
cavers? It makes more sense than a murder of crows!

If you look up synonyms for groups, you come up with:
lot or batch or class (scientific?)
mass, cluster, or clump (love that one)
...”Look at the clump from New Mexico!”
or
...”Look at the lots from all over Texas!”

A “stash of cavers” because people and other cavers are especially
secretive. We keep our cave locations hidden in file drawers and we don’t
widely broadcast caving as a sport or speleology as a science until this
International Year of Caves and Karst. We stash ourselves into crevices and
passages
A wallow of cavers.

We already have that for wolves and cigarettes. It should be unique
among plural nouns, and easy to remember for public adoption. When we
get enough suggestions, we'll take a poll among the New Mexico and Texas
cavers.

What do you call a collection of cavers? There are gaggles of geese,
pods of whales and murders of crows. What term would do justice to the
special nature of cavers? I once suggested a *column of cavers*, as
cave teams usually go single-file when traversing (especially well
protected) cave
