Brian Derby in the Big Chamber of 142, discovered in August 1982 by Tim Parker, Andy Dolby and Mike Thomas. This is entered by a 35m pitch through the roof, just by the connection between 142 and Schwabenschacht. Most apparent ways on from the chamber choke, but one way out to the NE was found in 1985 to link back into Stellerweghöhle. The photographer's minion, just visible at the bottom of the picture, is Phil Wigglesworth, the third member of the photographic trip of 1984-07-24.
