Day 119 Climbing in caves

This night I was climbing in some caves by Lakatnik (the cave was called Temnata). Was pretty cool but not quite what I had expected… I kind of thought it would be a nice stroll in a cool cave… naah… it turned out being bouldering climbing  up to 10 meters without any safety equipment… I should probably add that the walls where slippery and my shoes really bad so I basically had to climb with only my hands…

Injuries? Well I had a few bumps on the head, ripped a few holes in my t-shirt, have bruises all over and so forth. One guy hurt one of his legs a bit and the guy who took us had some problems with a broken rib… but no serious injuries… ehm….

A part of the free-climbing… you can’t really see it but it was actually pretty high 🙂

 

Or sliding through some quite narrow passages like this one… at one point I was stuck without being able to breathe for half a minute before I managed to push myself through the opening…

 

Down there you see some of the water… we where jumping over openings like this one… and it was quite slippery… the longest jumps where at least a bit over a meter long… and quite small things to land on and jump from…

 

Here we are down by an underground river trying to jump between rocks to continue…

Some parts where quite muddy….

 

Outside the cave… leaning on a fence… ehm… and some of the bars where already gone…

  

Eh, this bridge was more scary when we went back in the day and you could actually see how bad the state was… when we went there it was pitch dark so I guess it was a bit lucky we didn’t fall into the open holes… 🙂
