On Thursday, July 24th Radovan picked me up in Bělá pod Pradědem and took me to meet fellow cavers from the Jeseník area. We met at a pub in Jeseník called U dvou štírů (in English - two scorpions). Cavers and rock climbers meet there every Thursday.
After noon on Friday Radovan and Tommy picked me up again and took me to Jeskyně Rasovna. (Jeskyne = Cave in English). It is located in the Rychlebských mountains NW of Jeseník.
Dalibor is know as the godfather of caving in the area. He took me to a cave that was discovered earlier that year.

It was raining hard by the time Radovan unlocked the cave gate at Liščí díra. According to Dalibor, this cave contains Rumové komnaty (Rum chambers).

Many tight squeezes!
Radovan took this photo of me crawling through one of the narrow passageways.
