Radoshitza Cave - Excavation Material Transport to the First Depot at - 6 m


 


 
31070. The two toads from the picture were not transported to the depot but put in the bucket which Žan hauled up to release them into the forest undergrowth.


 

 


 
31071. Smaller rocks were transported in a bucket which Brajko will empty in the depot.


 

 


 
31072. Smaller to medium-sized rocks Jerko was throwing into this indentation.


 

 


 
31074. Bigger rocks he hauled over the jump edge one by one.


 

 


 
31076. Brajko is moving a sizeable rock, delivered by Klok, forward to the depot.


 

 

Radoshitza Cave - Ground Zero at about - 10 m


 


 
31079. The path to proceed was digging through the rock along slanted cracks, just slightly widened by the rainwater. The draught told the direction to follow. In the picture - ground zero scene, front illuminated by on-camera flash.


 

 


 
31078. Ground zero - side illuminated by two helmet LED lamps


 

 


 
31077. Top-down view into the crack in the picture center


 

 


 
31080. The little chamber, before the slightly downwards inclined horizontal rift which is also the line of further advancement, is ample enough for Jerko and Brajko (in the picture) plus the author, who squeezed himself in the continuation.
