Overlays 2022 experimenting with overlay tools... I must thank photographer and friend April who accepted to be phographed for this purpose...
Ladder caving is (mostly) safe caving. Quentin Jones & Lee Pearson have been kind enough to rig ladders at Capshaw for us to safely decend the small climb-down. I want to try to climb ladder-free in drought weather, but the water and that I'm not made of velcro makes me wuss out when it's so wet. :/

Yep, that ladder is still blocking the door out to the patio.
You know what really ticks me off the most about this? A few weeks ago we (all of us tenants) were informed that our hotel was now a "Smoke-Free" building, and that includes all of our individual apartments. The only place where we smokers are now allowed to smoke is out on that back patio. The one that we can't hardly get to for the ladder blocking the door, all the damned scaffolding, etc.
Roscoe is not a happy camper these days! No, he's not!

There are numerous walkways and ladders in the cave. Also there is a 73 step stairway from ground level down to the cavern.
While we could have walked across the slightly higher Col de Riedmatten, right next to Pas de Chèvres, we chose to climb these ladders instead. I will admit to finding it somewhat scary, with a heavy backpack and with a little snow falling ... What the pictures doesn't show, is that right above the rock on the top right, you had to to take a step a half a metre to the right, onto a second ladder.
