Perusing through some of Adrian Clarke's photographs, I came across this one showing the stals in Hensler's Master Cave. It was probably taken in the late 1940s.

For anyone wanting a view of these stals taken in the opposite direction, see Jack Myers' photograph in Underground Adventure (1952, Gemmell & Myers) opposite page 38. (Sadly, these formations were damaged a very long time ago.) I think (from memory) there may also be an image of them in that article on the discovery of Hensler's Passages in one of the late 1930s BSA Caves & Caving journals.

I bet that coat was just great for reversing along narrow passages (not).
