' mountaineeering underground'

Can anyone tell me where this phrase was used please? I know I've seen it somewhere.....

It's in a book somewhere! And no I don't mean 'mountaineering reversed' :)

Looking for it bit of variety!

For “Planet Earth” producer Huw Cordey, who spent 10 straight days living in a cave to film a single six-minute sequence, that’s amateur night.
“It was like mountaineering — underground, in the dark,” Cordey says of the shoot that took him deep into New Mexico’s Lechuguilla cave.

H.W.Rhodes "gave lantern talks on 'Mountaineering underground', etc to the Wharfedale Naturalists' Club in 1948 & 1951"

Also in this magazine article from 1955:

Thanks for the help.
I think H.W. Rhodes may be an answer. I definitely read rather than viewed the phrase.
