A pit cave (or vertical cave), often simply called a "pit", is a type of natural cave which is a vertical shaft rather than a horizontal cave passage. Pit caves typically form in limestone as a result of long-term erosion by water. Pit caves can be open to the surface or found deep within horizontal caves. A pit is generally categorized as a vertical drop of any depth that cannot be negotiated safely without the use of ropes or ladders.

  • A pit cave (or vertical cave), often simply called a "pit", is a type of natural cave which is a vertical shaft rather than a horizontal cave passage. Pit caves typically form in limestone as a result of long-term erosion by water. Pit caves can be open to the surface or found deep within horizontal caves. A pit is generally categorized as a vertical drop of any depth that cannot be negotiated safely without the use of ropes or ladders. In caving parlance, a domepit is a large vertical underground shaft in which water flowing down to the water table at a lower level has dissolved a cylindrical cavity in the rock.
