Vertical caving can be a fantastic and exciting way to experience some truly awe inspiring caves in Ireland. In addition to the SUI Training Team providing courses teaching Single Rope Technique for safe progression in caves, the SUI also has a Bolting Policy for safe bolting of caves in Ireland and periodically offers training courses in Resin Anchor Placement

For the latest news on new Resin Anchor placements, and notifications on issues with existing bolt safety, please see the Bolting Notices page.

The SUI also provides a catalogue of [Resin Anchor Rigging Topos] that have been installed and assessed for suitability. It is the responsibility of every caver to confirm the safety of any anchor they plan to rig from, if you have a concern about a bolt in a cave, please contact the SUI using the [Access Issue Reporting Form]
