Donald, You're right - maybe it's a silly venture - maybe cavers will refuse to adopt the noun after the contest - but it's a fun thing to do anyway, and it exhibits a little creativity that we can share among ourselves, and maybe a few laughs in these days when real caving is limited.  So

Thanks, Mimi. I want to remind people that it's OK to create completely new words as well, ans if you can't think of something, try using a thesaurus. Even consider proper names.  I'll limit the entries to no more than four per person as Jim Evatt has submitted four, but just don't throw out

Thanks, Mimi! Very cute essay. But there will be only one winner and no 2nd or 3rd place winners.  I will announce the number of votes each name got, and if there is no majority, I will hold a runoff vote (there is no reason to rush it through). So the term will refer to all cavers, not
