Articles of science and exploration from the United States include contributions from Washington, Oregon, Montana, and Wyoming.  There are feature articles on the Deep caves of Croatia, and Castleguard Cave.  International topics can also be found in Bulgaria/Albania report, Peru, and Swiss Pre-alps articles. 

 

There are three articles on gear and techniques with Jay Kennedy critiquing the Petzl Nest Rescue Stretcher and Alan Warild explaining how he tunes his SRT/Frog system. 

 

A generous amount of photos and maps accompany the publication.
