ONE BY ONE, we slide on our bums down icy boulders into the belly of a cave at Metcalfe Rock, a towering limestone outcrop in the Niagara Escarpment near Co]lingwood, Ont., two hours northwest of Toronto. Looking like a motley mining crew with our helmets and headlamps, we — my husband Michael, our son Christian, 15, our youngest daughter Manon, 5, and myself — gingerly follow our guide, Jim Samis, for fear of slipping in the dim crevice. Catherine, our 13-year-old who is not keen on tight spaces, waits for us outside.
