Vertical caving terminology and methods > SRT basic terms
A vertical or near-vertical section of a pitch between Y-hangs (or whatever is at the top of the vertical section) and rebelays, or the pitch base. This is the section that will require abseil or prusiking. The longest of these may be called a main hang. Deviations do not create a new hang.
