The Unroped climb or chimney field in the Obstacles section is used to record stations where some exposure (potential for a fall) is found but no rope is needed.
Some climbs or chimneys may not be much of an obstacle for normal travel through the cave; but, they could be a serious impediment to rescue. If such an exposure is found at a station which would affect rescue efforts, it should be recorded.
Example
- Unroped climb or chimney: FA17 (chimney up through crack to FA18 and beyond)
