WIN WITH WARMBAC!!

With all that gear and a scurion it Looks like an advertisement for starless river  if you ask me.
Didn't know tony started selling  roof ladders
 
The ladder?  It's just in case the one and a half kilometres of 11 mm rope from ukcaving isn't long enough.
 
Tunnel inspector, Mad Phil Rowsell, thought he had all the safety gear for the China Rail roof inspection.  But as he posed, mesmerised, for photographs he failed to notice the 9.15 from Chongqing was bearing down on him.
 
After a particularly humorous guest put him into "Room 101", Frank Skinner made a start on looking for a way out...
 
After close scrutiny of the small print in the Hidden Earth competition rules he was quietly confident that the Warmbac socks and tacklesack would easily be his as the prize for the fastest ladder climb.

The rung of a ladder was never meant to rest upon, but only to hold a man's foot long enough to enable him to put the other somewhat higher.
- Thomas Huxley

 
Madphil was such a famous caver that Madame Tussaud's commissioned a waxwork of him. To make it atmospheric, they asked the sculptor to make a tableau with him and a ladder. The likeness was amazing, but some carping critics still claimed the scene wasn't quite right. 
 
With a nice concreted floor all around, Phil wondered if he was a tad overdressed for a horizontal caving trip..........
