The pile of rocks, or breakdown, is typical of what you spend a lot of time crawling over in this cave. If you look closely you'll see I'm pretty sweaty at this point. Outside the cave it was abotu 25 degrees and snowing, but inside it was in the mid 50's and I hadn't figured out to unzip the overalls partway yet.
Steve is holding a slave flash unit, which is why it's so much brighter in front of him. The main flash from the camera causes the slave unit to flash a split second later. Often cave photographers will have multiple people holding slave units and can light up large areas of the cave that way.

nice canteen! Water boy!
Thanks Mr. Hips! Actually it's a nine dollar fanny pack from Walmart. I've been really happy with it so far since it will go around my waist, holds two bottles of water, and is really sturdy. I figure it will make it through about 10 caves before it gives up the ghost.
Nice purchase. A nine dollar fanny pack for a 50 cent butt.
