Do cavers accept chipping ?
I was browsing Tik Tok (yes I am ashamed) and saw a video of caver in pretty narrow passage. So that caver took another rock and started to chip in order to widen a little bit the passage, while complaining about not having a hammer with him.
I am a climber, not a caver, and that kind of behaviour would be a big nope in the climbing world (There is a few exceptions where it was done (usually after involving the federation and local community), and it's still pretty controversial)
So I am curious about caver opinion on that practice.

Isn’t spelunking specifically exploring underwater caves?
Wild, I had always thought it was just the scuba diving in a cave.
You're thinking of scublunking
Nah, that's a 1997 hit from the British band Chumbawumba
You're thinking of dumb locking
It just feels like it should be because it makes a "spelunk" sound when you cannonball into the water.
That would be splooshers you're thinking of.
I can’t tell if you’re fucking with me or not.
Oh I very much am.
Name checks out.
That's when a turd is so big it splashes up some water and tickles your bum, right?
Big turd or droopy butt. Yeah.
Your username made me chuckle, it's great
Thx bby
