Cavalcade is too hard to say, though I like the alliteration. How about one syllable? It’s a bit too militaristic.--Linda Starr 😉

Lee,In order to preserve the alliteration, how about a “cavalcade” of cavers?

What do you call a collection of cavers? There are gaggles of geese, pods of whales and murders of crows. What term would do justice to the special nature of cavers? I once suggested a column of cavers, as cave teams usually go single-file when traversing (especially well protected) cave passages. Does anyone have a better idea?
