Vertical caving terminology and methods > SRT basic terms
A pitch (or significant section of a pitch) where the rope does not touch the walls, and the caver does not have to push away from the walls. Rebelays and deviations are not needed, and there are no rub points, allowing the pitch (or section of a pitch) to be treated as a single hang. Allows minimal interruptions, and is generally desirable, but causes the caver to slowly rotate while on the rope, which can be uncomfortable for some.
