Jeff Dilcher has placed Cave Rat Assassins on the TAG-Net web site. " As vertical cavers, we take a lot of precautions in making sure our vertical gear, and climbing systems are in good working order, and making sure we have rigged our ropes carefully, to ensure a safe climb back out of (or into) a cave. In this article, originally posted to Tag-Net Digest #4182, Jason Record reveals what can happen to a rope that has been left in a cave for a while. His account may cause a lot of people to think twice before leaving a rope rigged in a cave for a significant period of time, or at least make sure it is anchored well away from "the assassins.
