| Hang Tien Exit |
On our last trip to Hang Tien we spotted a new passage, the main aim of our next visit was to explore this passage and to install a suitable belay for the ladder that was being installed at the same time.

While our porters carried in the 80 Kg generator and the nine metre ladder (in two sections) we shot ahead to the cave so we could start to survey the new passage.

This turned out to be approximately 300m long before it ended at a stall blockage.

It started out as quite a small passage, just two metres by three metres, but this soon enlarged to a much bigger passage.
 |
| Looking good, stomping passage |
The going was easy, with mostly flat floor but there were some fine formations and generally a nice bit of passage.

| The final 'chamber' |
After a bit of photography on the way out we made our way back to the ladder construction site where the team were busy putting the final touches to the new ladder, a fine construction and infinitely better than the previous dodgy wooden ladder.
