However, it is being put in "as is" in the hope that it will be more useful to Expo on the site than on my hard disc in the UK ! I'm afraid that your browser will need to do tables for it to be any use at all :-(</p> <p>Note: the Infomatics Commission of the Union Internationale de Spéléologie has established a Cavers' Dictionary Working Group, which should eventually build something a lot more useful than this.

Janka" by J F Rickers. Additional information derived from varied sources, including Petzl catalogue, Editions Eclat Peru guidebook, personal experience, deductions from the Totes Gebirge climbing guide and a lot of head-scratching and dictionary bashing whilst reading caving publications in a variety of languages.</p> <p>If you need a much more detailed vocabulary for climbing and mountaineering, I can do no better than recommend "Alpines Wörterbuch", by Rudolf Weiss, published by Bergverlag Rudolf Rother Gmbh, München, ISBN 3-7633-8062-0.
